Caralogy Methodology

Performance (0-100, top speed) simulated by the Caralogy physics engine (SCx, Crr, real torque curves). Motorway consumption values estimated from the manufacturer WLTP cycle.

Manufacturer data · WLTP-estimated consumption · Caralogy-simulated performance

Among the 8 D-SUV plug-in hybrid, the Q5 SUV combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (top 3 in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the Q5 SUV through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient. 3rd of 8 in Electric WLTP range (82 km).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Once the 82 km EV range is used up, the car runs on pure combustion at 13.2 L/100 - high for a PHEV in this class. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more efficient.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 100 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 918 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 82 km pure electric (top 3 in segment)

With a full battery, the Q5 SUV drives in pure electric mode for the first 82 km WLTP - placing it 3rd of 8 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (100 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Q5 SUV behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Audi Q5 SUV: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Q5 SUV rank in its segment?

Among the 8 D-SUV plug-in hybrid 2023–2027, the Q5 SUV ranks 3rd of 8 in Electric WLTP range (82 km, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 5th of 8 in Combined range (499 km, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 7th of 8 in Thermal cons. estimated (13.2 L/100, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 5th of 8 in 0–100 km/h (6.2 s, behind the Audi Q5 SUV).

What is the électrique range of the Q5 SUV?

82 km WLTP announced - making it the 3rd of 8 in Electric WLTP range out of 8 models. The reference is the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (100 km).

How much does the Q5 SUV cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 instead?

The Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 leads in Electric WLTP range (100 km vs 82 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Q5 SUV vs Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
