2024 Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid review

1. Stylish Black Optic package 

The 2024 Q5 is already striking but the Black Optic package takes things to another level. Look out for the 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and black headliner. This package can be found on Premium Plus and Prestige trims, so keep an eye out if you want a small SUV that turns heads with its understated style.  

2. Hybrid performance 

When fully charged, the 2024 Audi Q5 Plug-in Hybrid will do an EPA-estimated 23 miles of all-electric range. The 362-hp powertrain balances driving dynamics with thrifty performance, making for an incredibly enjoyable driving experience. With the ability to travel on electric-only power, this makes the Q5 a good choice if you have a short commute or need to run errands around town.  

3. Standard quattro AWD 

Across all trim levels, you’ll find Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system, giving you confidence in all weather. This advanced AWD system offers added grip and stability in a variety of driving conditions, from city streets to off-road adventures. Whether it's a leisurely drive along the coast or a cross-country journey for a vacation, you’ll have peace of mind behind the wheel. 

4. Comfortable to drive 

The Q5’s cabin is a serene place to spend time as it insulates you from road and wind noise. The seats are comfortable for long drives, too, meaning the Q5 could be a great choice if you love road trips. Alongside the wealth of standard driver-assist features, the Q5 is a pleasure to drive, no matter where you’re headed. 

5. Luxury features at all levels 

The base trim (called Premium) is anything but basic with some great luxury features including a power liftgate and adaptive cruise control. If you want an even more plush interior, look for the Premium Plus models, which feature a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. At the top of the range is the Prestige trim, which gives you heated seats in the front and back, automated parking assistance, and a heads-up display.
