I think Q5 E because not everybody’s looking for speed if you want speed, there are plenty of SRTs and hellcats and blah blah blah for speed. If you’re looking for fuel efficiency with some power this is the way to go even with premium gas on a 14 1/2 gallon tank, you’re putting in maybe 2025 bucks and you’re getting full range
gonna wait on the new Rav4 Prime 2025 model rumors of the 2.4 turbo max hybrid with 366 to 400 hp specs not released yet but definitely will have the 6 speed actual transmission Not A CVT thank goodness
If you want performance, the Q5e is a far better choice. Our car has several different personalities. It's an all-electric and comfortable around car in Comfort mode (higher ride height, softer suspension, relaxed steering) that gets 25 miles of electric-only range for us. Get into Dynamic mode (low ride height, sport suspension settings, responsive steering) and manually shift the S-Tronic dual-clutch gearbox with the paddle shifters and it feels almost like our S3 on a twisty road.
VW Group just loves to export cars, even very expensive ones with blank dash and console buttons. Some small, some huge. If only they had the financial resources and skills to manufacture $5 bezels or console trims to to use instead for a cleaner more complete look on their 75K+ cars. Blank buttons just scream 'MISSING FEATURES'. Or maybe, just offer these options in the US if they are allowed. Looks like those console cutouts remain from features that have since been removed since this model generation debuted. Reviewers should ding them for that. These cost-savings measures just drive me mad on expensive cars as they just cheapen the interior which is usually a -less than- version of their European counterparts. Don't even get me started on the removal of the so-called 'unnecessary' fog lights from just about every German car manufacturer out there, while they retain fake exhaust tips and other cutouts that serve no other function.
@@robertobecerra9647 chevy volt is a phev/erev. gets 45-55 miles or ev range, gas motor adds another ~350 miles as needed. my commute is about 180 miles round trip, charge at work and use about 2 gallons of gas per day, so around 90 mpg. 130k miles on the odom, zero maintenance. bought the car for 6k private sale 18 months ago and put 40k miles on it since then. it has paid for itself in fuel savings, not to mention my insurance is only 21$/mo. yikes.
@@msschill luxury and phev imo are antonyms. legacy auto makers are limiting the number of phev's available for sale here and only producing the highest trim levels because everyone wants them to save money. makes no sense, especially when there are 6000$ chevy volts for sale. mine paid for itself after 18 months of driving and 40k miles. there is no EV or phev that can do something similar without massive compromises. the reason theyre blocking chinease auto imports is because of all the dirt cheap phev's theyre making
@@vevenaneathnaTo say an older used Volt phev should be compared/judged (value, efficiency, accessories) to a luxury phev doesn't make sense. If my point of a phev is to be as efficient as possible then yes, the oldest but still functional will suffice. But for me, I want something that can run at least 20 miles ev (working commute is 10 miles) and also be able to drive efficiently but in comfort on a 185 mile trip almost every weekend. It can't be slow! And it can't be uncomfortable and loud. So that's why I'm looking to Audi and will not consider or compare to a Volt. Just my opinion though.
Avoid this car like the plague! I own a Q5 TFSIe and after 2.5 years it already needs a new transmission. This is an inherent fault with the Audi 7 speed transmission. Google Q5 transmission problem to see how old an issue this is. The Q5 has had a recall in Australia but here in Spain I’m told they’re wasn’t one. Audi clearly trying to avoid a multi-million dollar recall!

I’m definately going to be looking at the Chinese BYDs in future for 7 year warranty, highly spaced, as good performance and better value for your buck!
I would say the transmission between ev mode to gas so smooth, own it for 3 years and love it
Very nice, 0-60 is just as fast as the SQ5, yet better fuel economy.
How long does it take to charge? and what happens if I have no charge? what will the MPG be?
Awesome Audi Q5 E !!! thanks
Seems like the steering response is not very tight, a lot of wheel movement but not much change in direction.
Depends on what mode you are in. It's very precise in Dynamic mode.

While I always liked the Q5e, an unreliable engine with a phev system is a recipe for a headache. I'll take two.
Haha
wow, it almost gets half as much ev range as my 12 year old chevy volt, lol.
Yeah but it’s a hybrid. You have a full ev with only 40 miles of range? Yikes

Cool you compared an economic hybrid to a luxury hybrid 👍

Q5e
Almost $67,000.00?? That's crazy. No thanks
A hybrid Rav 4 will cost you almost 50k with all options. You’re dealing with Audi, not Toyota or Hyundai. The pricing seems on point.
You'd be paying about the same for a NX450h+
The world has changed post Covid. All hybrid Lexus are all 60k starting to 85Ks insane I know but reality.
if you lease most dealers sell at invoice less 11500 in rebates so now you are at 53k
You will save tons of $$$ at the gas pump, PLUS 0-60 mph in 4.8 secs, PLUS luxury and comfort. Worth it.
You want to buy a hybrid You better have lots of money
Prius Prime for $34k, Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV for $42k - it's not insane
