Audi has expanded its A5 lineup with the introduction of new plug-in hybrid models, available in both Avant and Sedan variants. These e-hybrids come in two power levels, offering up to 270 kilowatts of total output, and feature an impressive electric range of up to 110 kilometers (68 miles). Built on the Premium Platform Combustion, the A5 e-hybrids blend dynamic performance with enhanced efficiency, thanks to a larger high-voltage battery and intelligent hybrid management systems.
Key Highlights:
- Two power options: 220 kW and 270 kW, balancing performance and efficiency.
- Extended electric range: Up to 110 kilometers (68 miles), ideal for electric-only driving.
- Advanced battery technology: A 25.9 kWh high-voltage battery with greater capacity.
- Intelligent hybrid management: Optimizes power usage for maximum efficiency.
- Enhanced regenerative braking: Boosts energy recovery during deceleration.
- Premium standard features: Includes 3-zone climate control and navigation.
For drivers seeking performance and sustainability, Audi’s new A5 e-hybrids offer a compelling solution. Combining a 2.0 TFSI engine with a powerful electric motor, these models deliver strong acceleration—reaching 62 mph in as little as 5.1 seconds in the 270 kW variant—while maintaining a top speed of 155 mph. The increased electric range, powered by a 25.9 kWh battery, allows drivers to cover most daily trips without using fuel, supported by a quick 2.5-hour charge time at 11 kW.
Efficiency is further enhanced by an advanced regenerative braking system, which recaptures energy during slowdowns, extending the electric range. Drivers can adjust recuperation levels via steering wheel paddles, tailoring the experience to their needs. The intelligent hybrid system seamlessly switches between electric and combustion power, adapting to driving conditions for optimal performance and fuel savings.
Inside, the A5 e-hybrids come well-equipped with standard features like 3-zone automatic air conditioning, a panoramic MMI display, and an inductive phone charging pad. Higher-performance models add sporty elements, such as the S line exterior package. Starting at 62,500 euros for the Sedan in Germany, these hybrids showcase Audi’s commitment to blending luxury, innovation, and eco-conscious engineering.
