There are two versions of Audi’s highly-desirable plug-in hybrid Q5 TFSI e- a traditionally-styled SUV and a ‘Sportback’ variant with a sloping, more coupe-like exterior. And it’s this model, the SUV, that just beats the Q5 Sportback when it comes to practicality.

While the Q5 TFSI e Sportback has a 455 litre boot, the Q5 TFSI e SUV has a larger storage capacity, at 465 litres.
Whichever version you choose to lease, you’ll enjoy Audi’s sophisticated ‘50 TFSI e quattro S tronic’ powertrain. It develops power of 299 PS, 450 Nm of torque, and can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 6.1 seconds. Top speed is 148 mph.
And because it’s a plug-in hybrid, you also enjoy great fuel efficiency besides the performance. You can expect the Q5 TFSI e SUV to return up to 188 mpg while emitting just 42 g/km of CO2.
The 17.9 kWh battery allows you to travel for up to 37 miles using electricity alone while also proving simple to recharge. Using a standard 7 kW home wall box, you’ll replenish the battery in around 2 hours. Make sure you get the most out of every charge by taking a look at our guide on picking your ideal charger.
Entry level models come equipped with 18 inch alloys, sport seats, three-zone climate control with pre-conditioning and a 10.1 inch, fully-connected infotainment touchscreen.
Standard kit on all models also includes a reversing camera and Audi’s state-of-the-art ‘Pre-sense City’ system, which uses cameras to detect impending dangers and can also apply the brakes if necessary.
Range-topping Vorsprung models add extras such as 21 inch alloys, adaptive air suspension, and a panoramic sunroof.
In terms of competition, the Audi Q5 TFSI e goes toe-to-toe with the hybrid variants of the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and the Volvo XC60.
And it sits in the Audi range between the smaller Q3 Sportback TFSI e and the larger Q7 TFSI e.
