Overview

The Audi Q5 TFSI e 55 quattro is a slightly more compact SUV offering to the German manufacturer's more imposing Q7 e-tron. The Q5 55 quattro PHEV is also the first plug-in Audi to dispense with the "e-tron" moniker, which is likely to belong to the BEVs exclusively moving forwards. The Q5 has a fairly moderate electric range for a modern PHEV, but should cover most commutes, while it boasts the typical combination of meaty performance and sleek, Germanic refinement we are accustomed to from the brand from Ingolstadt‎.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
