CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011

AudiQ5HybridQuattroreview_2011This is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, the first full-hybrid production route from Audi and our first taste coupled to the modular 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine / electric motor, a lithium-ion battery. CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011.

We’d better get used to it: The same technology will appear in the A6 and A8 hybrids. CAR just the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro tested, read so on our first test drive. Like all these electrical Gubbins fit together under the skin of the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro?

Drive goes to all four wheels, and the transmission is an eight-speed automatic, but without a torque converter. Why not a torque converter? There sat in his place (and between the engine and transmission) is a 33kW (ft and £ 155) electric motor – the disc-shaped motor also acts as a starter and generator.

The 1.3 kW lithium-ion battery pack sitting under the trunk floor (and weighs just 38kg, says Audi) and the combined total output for the hybrid system is 241bhp and £ 354 m. The air conditioning compressor, power brakes and power steering are now electrically powered, too.
