5 reasons to buy the 2023 Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid
1. Adaptive cruise control as standard
The 2023 Audi Q5 elevates the driving experience with advanced driver-assistance features. Adaptive cruise control is a new standard for this model year and will maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting speed as needed. This makes even the longest highway drives much more relaxing.
2. Hybrid power
This plug-in hybrid model offers an impressive EPA-estimated range of 23 miles on electric power alone when fully charged. You'll also get 362 horsepower, which is more than enough to enjoy those open-road drives. On top of this, it gets an EPA-estimated 60 MPGe combined, which means you can go further between fill-ups.
3. Plenty of tech
The 2023 Q5 Plug-in Hybrid has a range of innovative features as standard. Look out for the surround-view camera, which makes parking maneuvers easier than ever. If you need more, you’ll find additional features on the available packages and as you climb the trim levels — including a heads-up display in the Prestige trim.
4. Standard AWD
Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system comes standard in the 2023 Q5, giving you peace of mind behind the wheel. This feature not only improves confidence in diverse weather conditions but also allows for light off-roading. The added grip and stability provided by the AWD system also make the Q5 yet more fun, especially if you love a spirited drive.
5. Quiet cabin
Designed to minimize road and wind noise, the Q5’s interior provides a serene driving experience, particularly when running on electric power. Alongside the quiet cabin, you’ll enjoy the comfortable seats that make long journeys more enjoyable. This quiet, luxurious interior feels nicely upscale without being over the top.
