Now on sale nationwide in the U.S., the 2021 Audi Q5 TFSI e, A7 TFSI e and A8 TFSI e combine Audi’s premium appointments and driving dynamics with integrated hybrid technology and smartphone app functionality. The 2021 Audi Q5 TFSI e, updated with sharpened design and Audi’s latest MIB 3 infotainment technologies, is powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI engine and electric motor that, when combined, produce a net 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Not only is its power similar to the Audi SQ5, but the PHEV model is also able to drive without direct tailpipe emissions in EV mode and can be had with $6,712 in potential federal tax incentives. Sharing its powertrain with the Audi A7 TFSI e, both vehicles are eligible for HOV lane access in several states. For the Audi Q5 TFSI e and A7 TFSI e, power is routed through a seven-speed S tronic transmission to all four wheels with quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology. The 2021 Audi A8 TFSI e is equipped with a six-cylinder engine that when combined with its electric motor can produce V8 levels of power when it’s needed. Or, the A8 TFSI e can operate in nearly silent all-electric mode for a truly serene experience. The combined A8 TFSI e powertrain is rated at a net 443 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. The A8 TFSI e comes equipped with standard quattro® all-wheel drive and an eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission. All three vehicles come with a 14.1 kWh battery pack that sits under the rear cargo area and are equipped with an integrated heat pump that uses battery heat to efficiently warm the cabin. Their onboard 7.7 kW charger allows them to replenish battery power from empty to 100% in just 2.4 hours when using a 240-volt outlet. The PHEV models can be charged at any SAE J1772 home or public charger, with programmable interior preconditioning via the myAudi app to 1/4 efficiently warm or cool the interior ahead of driving. Standard predictive efficiency assist is designed to increase brake-energy recuperation when approaching a slower vehicle or rolling downhill. When equipped with its available satellite navigation in the Audi Q5 TFSI e, which comes standard in the A7 and A8 TFSI e models, predictive efficiency assist also takes curves ahead of the vehicle, speed limits and more variables with vehicle coasting into account, reading the vertical profile of the road and adjusting the vehicle's behavior to help customers benefit from lower fuel consumption. Detectable haptic feedback from the accelerator pedal and a visual signal in the MMI and head- up display indicate the proper time to let off the accelerator to use as much kinetic energy as possible. Symbols in the Audi virtual cockpit indicate speed reductions, including for speed limits, town signs, curves and downhill slopes, traffic circles, intersections and highway exits. Each of the three models start in all-electric mode when charged but can also operate in hybrid mode to take advantage of both powertrains or battery hold mode to reserve electric power for later use. The 2021 Audi Q5 TFSI e, A7 TFSI e and A8 TFSI e further Audi’s goal to electrify an estimated 30% of its U.S. lineup by 2025, accompanying the all-electric 2021 Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback in the brand’s plug-in portfolio.

  • Audi Q5 | Q5 Hybrid | SQ5
    Q5 Audi Q5 | Q5 hybrid | SQ5 Reflecting on what matters most to us. In so many ways, it’s really all connected. How an Audi vehicle is engineered and designed isn’t simply a matter of physics or architecture, it’s a systematic compilation of disparate disciplines and ideas, forged into some- thing iconic, sophisticated and powerful. What you feel behind the wheel is, in so many ways, a product of the knowledge and imagination of human history. The principles of Newtonian laws, sure — but also the grace of choreography, time-honored artisanal craftsmanship and the connectivity of modern life. The end result of these inspirations is your Audi — a thing meaningful, intuitive and strong. We employ the sum of our skills and understanding to reflect something that goes deeper than our machines. 03 See yourself at the center of it all. We’re not saying you’re the type who always needs to be the center of attention, but when you’re sitting behind the wheel of the 2016 Audi Q5, that’s exactly what you’ll feel like. You might even say that, with this much emphasis on style, the Q5 is a magnet for looks by those who appreciate timeless design. It doesn’t hurt that it boasts an unmistakable profile to complement its sporty yet sophisticated style. Or that it can provide some serious fuel-saving potential, courtesy of the available Q5 hybrid or TDI® clean diesel models.1,2 And let’s not forget the awe-inspiring performance delivered by the SQ5. Its interior, of course, makes for a progressive and luxurious escape from the outside world.

  • Audi Grieves for Ferdinand Piëch
    Audi MediaInfo Audi Communications Richard Tigges Phone: +49 841 89-37500 email: [email protected] www.audi-mediacenter.com Audi grieves for Ferdinand Piëch ● Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch was with Audi for more than twenty years, most recently from 1988 to 1992 as Chairman of the Executive Board ● Audi CEO Bram Schot: „He united ingenuity with passion and perseverance". ● Chairman of the General Works Council Peter Mosch: „He combined the technically possible and economically sensible with social responsibility". Ingolstadt/Neckarsulm, 27. August 2019 – The Board of Management of AUDI AG expresses its sincere condolences to the family of Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch on behalf of all employees. In commemoration in all plants worldwide the flag is set to half-mast. Piëch was a member of the brand with the Four Rings for more than twenty years, most recently as Chairman of the Board of Management for almost five years from 1988 to the end of 1992. The Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, Bram Schot: „One of Ferdinand Piëch's greatest strengths was that he really burned for the brand Audi. This latin word means ,listen’ – and he always listened well to both customers and staff. He lived the dream of automobility all his life and was the engine of innovation. He developed Audi into a premium brand and created a technological lead with groundbreaking developments. These include the five-cylinder spark ignition engine, quattro permanent four-wheel drive, the procon-ten safety system, the fully galvanized all-steel body and lightweight aluminum construction with the Audi Space Frame, which celebrated its premiere at the 1993 IAA in a study of the Audi A8.
