0-100 KM/H Audi Q5 55 TFSI e Quattro S-Line (all modes tested) 

Hello, Thanks to you :)

Hello, I do not remember well as it is a bit old. If not mistaken what will make effect is not the « dynamic » drive mode itself (you also have efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic) but more the hybrid mode you are in (hybrid auto (battery auto) or hybrid hold (battery hold)). In hybrid hold mode (wether your are in dynamic drive mode or not) the engine will be almost always on, and the EV will assist. (The correct terms are battery not hybrid. I made a mistake in the video)

You are welcome :)

Hello, The hybrid hold mode (actually battery hold, I made a mistake), is a mode where the car will try to keep the same level of battery %. 🤗. All the tests were done with flooring the throttle :)

@Ilija Lončarević indeed I did not use the launch control. I don’t remember why 😂😂

@@funcarreviews Sooo, it would be .2-.3s faster then :)

@@IDOLIKIofficial Aha yeah probably

I would not remember. Sorry 😅

12 l per 100km

@@leonardodacapris302 that’s a lot of

@bilalahmed2123 it's a rocket

Hello and thank you 🤗. No I haven’t tested but if it s like the A3 e-tron, it will have a noticeable power loss. I ll see if I can tell you some numbers

@@funcarreviews that would be great! Thanks

Hello, So i was able to do it in 5.6 seconds. I had 0 KM of EV range, EV mode unavailable. I was still able to go at the end of the Boost zone. S mode, Hybrid Hold, Dynamic Drive select So it should have some kind of reserve to allow full acceleration (this was not the case on the 2015 A3 e-tron).

@@funcarreviews wow that’s really nice of the EV system over the A3. Thanks for finding out

@@schmoestudy no problem. If you wanna see the video, use a computer and go here : public01.ddns.net:8081/d/f/543176964270243072 User : youtube Pw : youtube :)

Hello, this is a very relevant remark. i wouldn't know if the car handles a bit differently. Even if my time precision would be +- 0.2s max for example, there's still would be a difference.

hello, I ll try to answer you at the end of the week what was the displayed range. Last time I drove it I was able to drive around 40 KM without air ventilation inside (to save battery). Also outside was cold so it can affect range. The range suffers a bit because the electric motor has some power (and the car is heavy). The new A3 is lighter for a almost similar battery capacity with lower HP, so It should perform better in terms of range.

@@funcarreviews i own 2017 A3 e-tron, looking forward to but A3 45 TFSIe in the future. Thx for reply ;)

@@TheHammondPL you are welcome. I think our A3 e tron is better finished and comfortable than the new one. But the hybrid system is better.

Hello, So the displayed range was 41 KM after a full charge. If I am not mistaken, the displayed range will get adapted depending on your usual driving style and outside temperature. So it can be also more in summer if you drive eco friendly.

@@funcarreviews Thanks

Hello, Are you talking about the small RPM on the left ?

@@funcarreviews yes, it's just a small straight line on mine, maybe they changed the US version.

@@MoneyShot702 ok so that is weird. I never saw what you are describing.

@@funcarreviews will do.

I dont have rpm meter on my 2022 60 tfsie , is there is way to put it on ?

Hello, As far as I remember you ll still have full power. Maybe at some point it might be limited but for my tests I still had full power. With the A3 e-tron that was not the case as soon as it was depleted. 😊

​@@funcarreviewsThank you, and for the hybrid hold mode will the battery actually remain the same, or just decrease slower over time?

@AlexD-iu9yf You are welcome. Usually it will still drop slowly, especially during city driving with start & stop situations and usage of heating for example. Years have passed so it might be better now but still :)

​@@funcarreviewsand how many km have you managed to do on ev mode only from full to 0?

@AlexD-iu9yf it might have been between 40-50 KM

Hello, Aha this is a good question but as i did not try the Q8 60 TFSI-e i will stay to the theory of it. The Q5 55 TFSIe is less good overall than the Q8 60 TFSIe in terms of performance if you look at the engines : 2L Inline 4 vs 3L V6 Fuel engine : 250 HP vs 330 HP / 370 Nm vs 450 Nm Electric engine : 140 HP vs 135 HP / 350 Nm vs 400 Nm Total : 362 HP vs 462 / 500 Nm vs 700 Nm 0-100 : 5.3s for Q5 vs 5.4s for Q8. So actually, officially they are very close in terms of who is faster at the 0-100 KM/H. You don't need to go too far for the explanation of such closeness despite the numbers in favor of the Q8. The Q8 is way heavier than the Q5. Q5 : 2150 KG Q8 : 2515 KG As they have the same battery capacity and almost the same EV torque, the weight is probably more on the car itself and the fuel engine (counting the fuel reservoir which is bigger on the Q8). The basic Q8 is around roughly 250 KG more than the Q5. So that's a tie :)

@@funcarreviews Thanks for your answer. You are the best. Regards from Greece

@@sp13kaipar you are welcome and thanks to you. Regards from Switzerland 🤗

Hello, It is jus to indicate that what is presented in front of you is the « power » gage. Like it would be for RPM for example :)

Hello, No you cannot. It could be possible with battery charge mode, but that disappeared for this Q5 and 2017 facelift A3. It was present on the 2015 A3 e-tron.

What when the battery is empty, couldnt you Drive them anymore?

If the battery is empty, the fuel engine will turn on and it will engage in hybrid mode. When battery is more available, it will switch between electric and fuel engine.

I mean for the q8 55 tfsi e 2021 Model

I have not tested this car yet. It is possible that battery charge mode came back, as it is the case with the A3 TFSIe. I would not see any reasons for the Q8 to be any different in how it works. Maybe you can take a look at my A3 TFSIe test drive on my channel if you want some info on how it works 🤗

Hello, Indeed, limiting the power output at 50% is a bit annoying. I have tried to explain it in my review. I suspect it is for the driver safety (car would be more reactive by engaging fuel engin sooner if you need to overtake as it is heavy) and fuel engine life (it would not rev as much with engine cold at 50% than at 100% with the button at the end of the pedal). But at least they did not repeat that on the new A3 TFSI e.

@@funcarreviews Thanks! Both of your explanations make sense. But nevertheless that's not a good solution by Audi.

Thank you. I agree with you. You cannot really enjoy the full power of the EV engine (which has a nice power). I would find this normal in less powerful engines of other brands. But this is annoying for such an expensive and powerful car. You might engage the ICE by mistake. This would add wear to the engine for nothing.

LOL 24s from 0 - 100 ?!?!!??! Toyota RAV4 make this in 9.2s even Ford Kuga PHEV need 14s. VW German Concern don't know how to make a Hynbrid...LOL An this all for lot more money :P

​@@TWARDOWSKY.😂 Enjoy your Ford fiesta

That is a good question but I guess this is not a problem that could affect only this car. Some HEV / MHEV / PHEV cars can have the ICE engine off while driving in certains conditions. Therefore the oil technically should stop going through the turbo while still spinning and wearing would happen over time. I would suspect that engineers know better and have taken this problem into account. But your comment is totally legitimate. It reminds me the same situation with start and stop systems and HEV cars that would have some components wearing prematurely but those parts are reinforced.

@@funcarreviews My mom has a GTE (GTE has common turbo problems on cars that are revved cold and hot turndown) and after full throttle it waits around 6 seconds before turning the engine off. With your 55 tfsi e it turns off right away

Is your GTE the first one that came out ? This 6 seconds is happening in every mode the car has ? (For example, gear in D and mode in hybrid hold )? I have driven the first one a couple of times when it came out but never paid attention to it (was not reviewing vehicles at that time ). I reviewed the new A3 e-tron but I didn’t check that aspect. I checked the list of evolutions between the generations. If I remember well on my first A3 e-tron, in sport mode, the engine will not turn off right away. Then the Q5 came out and the electronic handling got different. With the new A3 e-tron, electric might differ once again but not that one which is important as you mentioned. This is my personal opinion, and I don’t know all the models of the world, but Toyota seem the be the best handling 2 engines, it s gear system and it s electronics for best efficiency and probably long life. GTE when it came out, seemed a bit more advanced than the A3. It felt like Audi had to make it fast to stay in the competition and missed some steps. The Q5 got better than the first A3 but is still not good enough compared to some others.

@@funcarreviews GTE does it in every mode as long as it has full throttle. On my chann i have GTE acceleration video, you can see it turn off (and i press throttle to activate engine for the turbo)

Indeed I have seen it. At least we can see it in GTE mode :)

Hello, I do not remember exactly how it is marked for this model as I am testing lots of PHEVs. But hybrid hold would be battery Hold. Hybrid auto stays hybrid auto.

@@funcarreviews Thanks for this video anyway, gives a good understanding. I drive an A6 55 TFSI-e Quattro Wagon, so exactly the same drivetrain and engine(s) I believe. funny and strange thing is: - Audi states the Q5 does 0-100 in 5,2 and the A6 does it in 5,7 (which is really strange cause the Q5 is obviously less aerodynamic). Best I’ve done so far is 5,62 seconds, so 5,7 doesn’t seem too far off. - Doesn’t matter which mode I’m in (even in Efficiency and EV mode combined), the petrol engine ALWAYS kicks in when I floor the pedal

You are welcome. You have my Q5 TFSIe review for detailed explanations on the different modes. For the performance I do agree with you that the A6 should be better as you stated. On the A6 where does the EV power stop ? 50 % too ? I gave MY explanation on that in my test drive review but still find it strange. This is not the case on the A3 where 100% is possible. It will never go into ICE (unless you kick it down to the button at the end).

Just got this car and I only see those 3 modes as well. How would I change this?

@@Lafiro hello, you have the drive select button and EV button between the button to start the car and the the ones to control your ventilation. The modes are explained in the test drive video on the channel 🤗

Hello, In this mode, both engines are used so you can have the full power of the car :)

Hello, I do not know anyone with that car yet unfortunately. But if i can one day, i will :)

@@funcarreviews thanks

Hello, Well you’ll have different driving experiences between them. It really depends on your needs (and overall preferences) and like you said, the charging infrastructure. This Q5 is really expensive in full trim. I never drove a Q4 so i am not able to relate to the overall driving experience and compare :)

60k tell me where to send it

Hello, As I don’t have the A3 anymore, I don’t know when it ll be possible 😖

Aha yeah but don't forget there is a huuuuge weight difference ;)

4.7s with 272hp hahahahha

The Q5 is a bit different as they did not give the possibility to have the 100% of the electric power while in EV mode. If they had gave it, the number would have been way lower. That s a choice they made.

And you could see the A3 e-tron 0-100 video. It s not the same behavior and better 🤗
