This seems like it is right down the middle of what we need in the future. Plug in Hybrid just make so much sense.
I have to tally agree with you Greg! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
It’s just to please the oil companies honestly
Hey Joe,
Just wanted to say thank you. I discovered your channel a few days ago while quarantining at home and your videos have made me forget everything that’s going on in the world. Such great content and really making sure the love of cars is still alive. Keep it up and I’m excited for all the future content.
I enjoy Raiti's review videos the most, Lol! Love how you pick up "fine details", like this trim here or these lines here. And I learn alot too! Never knew about the "4 German brands uniting" to make Audi. And also more "technical" stuff. Keep up the great work! Your videos are now my FIRST source when considering cars :)
I also like the "ZONKS" 😂😂 I DO pay attention to those! Lol.
At least a big federal tax credit for this one.
in a segment as hot as crossover SUV's Audi needs to redesign the Q5
AGREED!
I think so too. The infotainment is good, and my mom drives a 2019, but I think it needs at least a facelift.
Snake Eyes I agree
I. don't know what they are waiting for. Interior and exterior need to be redesigned. It looks ugly compared to GLC and X3.
What do y’all think about the 2021 coming out especially the PHEV with RS style grille?
Hey Raiti if you had to choose between the Camaro RS V6 1LE, Mustang Ecoboost HPP, or Challenger GT which would you choose as a daily driver? And love the vids 👌🏽
Same HP & TQ figures compared to the current SQ5 & it's Turbo V6. Really nice car. Will have to consider this when I turn in my car off of lease.
The 21 model year is coming, looks much better with rs style grill and has slightly updated interior
Joe, Audi is doing what Volvo has been doing for a while with the gasoline and electric motors, it’s cool but I’d never buy these engines, if anything these are probably best leasing. Just would become too expensive past the warranty.
Side note thank you for still delivering content during this pandemic. Be safe and take care!
You are so very right Emon! I appreciate your kind words! Please do the same!
Subscriber here. Enjoy your channel very much. Love your review of the Q5e. I do have a few questions on the Q5e - I don't remember if it was addressed in your video but if u did and I missed it, my sincere apologies. Here goes:
1) What is the EV range for the Q5e?
2) What is the estimated charging time from empty to full charge using the provided charging cable?
3) Is there an option for DC charging?
4) Is there a spare tire underneath the trunk?
Thanks!
1) 14.1 kWh battery so real world is saying about 30 miles in decent climates
2) on the level 2 charger, it’s 2.5 hours. Level 1 chargers, it’s about 1 mile/hour
4) no spare because battery is located there
@@schmoestudy Thank you.
just looked at a 2020 an hour ago. lists - 80k - with incentives less than 70k. + there is a $7500 tax credit . its making the choice interesting. how far can one go on a charge ? > what watch are you sporting ? thanks be safe. ~ JDS/CT
So 2400 miles per full tank of gas, is that with a constant charge and how long does it take to charge 28 miles?
That is a great question.
Hi Sir. May I ask u about this plug in hybrid please. I Myself confuse this kind vehicle how it works when you start engine and drive that both electric and gasoline start working together or optional ev or gasoline separate that produce 345hp? Thank you Sir
Went to local dealership and test drive Q5E SQ5 and Q8 in a row. Q5E impressed me a lot. I was thinking SQ5 now I am not so sure anymore. 6715 tax credit also bring the cost down. Man, tough choice between the two
That is so very cool Ethan! Thank you for sharing that!
@Ethan Dong what did you end up doing? I’m in the same position
xcryptomania I leased a 2020 X5. Big and roomy and more tech. And it’s inline 6 is as fast as SQ5.
Ethan Dong congrats! If only i liked the looks of BMW. X5 is a bit bigger too eh? Closer to Q8 than Q5
xcryptomania yeah it’s like a Q7. Q8 is X6. I drove VW touraeg, same chassis as Q7 and Cayenne. So going downsize is tough on me
The way you explained touch screen killed me LMAOOOOOO
It is missing some stuff but overall is good looking and pretty cool! Awesome review guys! Wonderful camera control by Big Guns McGee!
Thanks for saying that!
Mines comes Monday. Very excited.
Wow, Joe. You were driving ALMOST as fast as all my fellow LA peeps on the freeway now that there’s no more traffic lol
As a Q5 owner, I love this, but I'd probably hold off until a redesign or more of an 'e-Tron' Q5, but I still stand by the quality of this car. Nice review, as always, Joe!
The E-tron SUV is technically a Q6. It's bigger than the Q5 but smaller than the Q7. E-tron Sportback is a good idea too.
Snake Eyes Yep, I have a channel too where I review cars and I did an e-Tron. It was fantastic!
Next gen Q5 is 2-3 years away
New subscriber here. Love the energy and knowledge you bring. Awesome reviews. I always make sure Joe doesn’t have a review of a vehicle I’m interested in before I look elsewhere. Sorry I haven’t subscribed sooner!
Hi Kyle ! Thanks for joining the Raiti's Rides family! I really appreciate you saying that and your awesome support!
Have you thought of reviewing a 2011 gl55 or a 2015 gl63.thats in my fav 5 SUV’s list
I need to try to track one down for you!
Is there a SQ5E in the lineup? On the Q7 or 8 does it come equipped with that anti roll bar? That's not the technical name for it. I understand it limits the rolling as you turn conners. Joe you are anointed and appointed for that what you are doing! Thanks for the superb vids!
Hey man , I was wondering if u can do a bloopers vid
That is a great idea Noah!
@@RaitisRides That would be super !
@@RaitisRides i would def. looking forward to it :)
This is the only manufacturer that I like from Volkswagen.
You. don't like Porsche? Lamborghini? Bugatti? Ducati?
@@RaitisRides I like those manufacturers, but they're expensive and I would choose a vehicle that is rather affordable like Audi that I like.
So the acceleration is better, but how is the EV range? Is actually 28 miles in practice?
From what they are saying!
JOE - me Tony, I'm going to the doctor today because I have some symptoms that could mean I have a virus. I'm not saying I have COVID19 but it's either gut or liver related because I started drinking again (due to stress) or it's an illness I'm not feeling too hot & I'm feeling worse the more time goes by. just in case I'm letting you know I really dig you, your crew, your channel & your posts. one of the few things in the day that make me really laugh interested & happy. I love you guys. stay mean, stay lean, stay young, your bother Tony
Oh No Tony! I am sorry to hear that! Please keep me in the loop brother! We are here for you!
Where is it assembled??? Thx
Looks good! Infotainment integration into the dash could be better, tho
Great vid, Joe!
I totally agree with you Victor!
Audi makes some top notch vehicles, wish I could afford one.
I know how you feel!
I test drove this car and it's definitely not worth the money. I would even say step up to the Etron. Yes, it's more expensive, but it's actually luxurious, a lot of tech inside and great performance. The Q5 lineup looks pretty regular from the outside, which is fine, but interior looks cheap and feels cheap. The ride is comfortable, but the steering is very light and numb regardless of which drive mode you have it set in. This car is a hard pass at near $60k. It doesn't really offer much more room than a sedan even if your reason is that you need more room.
no ventilated seats at $56k? Hyundai/Kias put that in at ~1/2 the price of this car...pure insanity
Ugh, interior is not up to par for, especially when compared with other similar Audi SUVs.
I agree with you!
I'm an outlier here, but I still love the understated elegance of the 2018 Q5 model redesign interior dash. The touch screen on the 2021 is just enough "new tech" for me.
The super dark black interior didn’t really showcase the interior well
56K$? thats really cheap compared to prices in Germany . Just had an offer for 84.237€ on my desk. Same car just some more options like black roof etc.
This hybrid seems very underwhelming. Hope the E-tron will have a better showing. Thanks for the continued content Raiti!
Great content. Stay safe man
hey Joe I know you're a manual transmission die hard so I'd recommend you watch an interesting CNBC video called "Why Stick Shifts Are Going Extinct"
Spare tire?
Could you review a new gen Audi S5? I think that would be a great comparison video against the BMW 440i xdrive.
So the same hp as the SQ5 but only 4500 more than the Q5/ the nav screen should be retractable if u dont need it
AGREED!
Hey Joe ... I’m seriously considering the Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription. Would like to see you do a review of it. 🤞
I will try to track one down for you Rob.
Raiti's Rides ... that would be fantastic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The T8 is a beast!
@@normt430 ... it was too bud for me as an empty nester. Bought the XC60 T8 Inscription white metallic with blonde interior. ❤️ it 👍🏻. It’s my second Volvo. I feel SAFE in it and being Swedish, it just appeals to my Swedish feelings of Lagom. (not too much. Not too little. Just enough)
The only bad part is if you can afford over $50,000 for this Hybird then you can also afford the gas for a normal engine. If you need a hybird or electric car, Honda/ Toyota it the way to go! IMO lol
AGREED!
Thank you very much. I keep my Audi S6.
Simplistic and simple aren’t the same thing.
Of all German marques, I only like BMW & VW SUVs. Audi, Mercedes & Porsche leave me cold even though they do exceptionally well in other segments.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Germany makes the best cars in the World!
They need to update they dashboard they all need to have q8 ft why they be dis q5 like that
Excellent ! Keep it up !!!
Thanks for saying that! I sure will!
Hey Joe. AUDI TIME LETS GO!!!
Yes sir Mopar Tom!
What is the history of Audi. Need to know before I buy
I bring it for you!
The Q5 still outsells the Acura RDX.
Machine faced wheels are usually junk.. Any real leather?..Had 3 Audis all had nice leather
In Europe it’s called the TFSI e.
Imagine you pull at gas station and guy puts diesel in your electric socket 😂
Edward Valivonis now that is freaking hilarious! 😂
They used to have similar problems with early 911, when gas man was filling petrol in the oil section
I loved Q3 over the rest Audi suvs
Save big money at Menards
I place for skittles and M&Ms. No! haha
Great platform for us, both me and spouse are retired who take short trips to the grocers and other errands, all of which are within the estimated 20+ electric miles available. A full recharge would take place back at the homestead. When we want to take a long road trip, we can utilizing the 2.0t's capability.
I'm shocked about no USB ports for the back passengers.
AGREED!
I Thought it was the old Q5
They redesigned the Q5 in 2018. This generation is a couple of years old.
Wow similar to the Mercedes GLE 350 in term of space. Much cheaper too
High price, only 22 miles in EV, and still the old infotainment system.
Pass.
WHY YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME BUY IT!! I WANT IT!! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!!
Yes, but only if your net worth is >1M and has not stopped growing.
I love the whole outside of the car but the inside needs to be changed.
I believe that Audi was also called Auto Union.
You are correct!
@@RaitisRides :D
Audi styling is always sort of bland to me and 28 mi range is a zonk. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
AGREED!
I didn’t like the sound of that turn at 15:50
In reality it has 367HP and 500NM of torque...
Thanks for that intel Oscar!
The remote has a nice weight to it? As if that’s a good thing. The thing looks like a freaking TV remote I’m gonna have to stuff my pockets full of. in a time when other car manufactures are going keyless with cell phone access or credit card access. Audi has taken your grandmother’s TV remote, and added the ability to open your trunk with it
Spending so much money to get that nav because I want dynamic cruise control... and the nav is still in 2020 a piece of crap like most other carmakers... dumb as rocks when it comes to traffic data and routing around it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Hi, you were always in short-sleeve shirts and nice-looking shorts when outdoors, but here you are wearing long pants and a jacket (?)
Damian Rhea good observations Damian 👍
It was filmed when it was cooler out.
@@dannybaio7695 Yep!
6:30 did you say 120 miles per gallon??? Get out of here!! You mean 28 right? 120 miles on one gallon of gas?!??
Yes you are correct!
Arrived
Damn, first yet again. Here you go, 🏆🥇🎖
@@hypersonic6649 ;D
Hey Mopar Tom!
@@RaitisRides Hey Hey Joe.
This is a Tesla model Y killer. 😉
World wide BMW X5 rules this mid size segment. Also know as the BOSS OF THE SUV/SAV..
Vwaudi skoda seat all looks the same!??
This is true!
They need different design
Wow, the infortainment is rubbish, looks like something from the 90's
nice car
I am so glad that yo like it!
After so many new generation, Audi still can't improve their information and display panel, looks so cheap and flimsy with that 8" display.
upload only 1 video per day
Why?
Raiti's Rides because I want this channel to go more further (far)
Same price as SQ5 and same horsepower
I am going SQ5! All day!
I would go with the hybrid everyday. It has more power, the same acceleration to 100 km/h and here where I live it costs 20k euro less than the sq5 lol
Sup Joe
Sup Jay
@@hypersonic6649 Sup we talked before LOL
Hey Jay.
@@jaypatel7424 yep, lol
@@stellantistom6881 Sup G
This design is outdated now
Way to much talk and not enough Driving 😠
Super WoW
Is that a good wow!
Styling is getting old...
Glee
I am glad that you like this one!
👍
Hybrid cars are not designed to stay & doomed to fail.
After all why carry two power train every where , pay two maintenance, pay for two fuels, two headaches only to achieve one objective !!!
And yet damage environment as there is no Tomorrow...Total madness.
I guess taxi drivers & those travelling more than 300 miles a day could benefit from Hybrid cars.
Welcome out from under your rock! Some us like the option to do daily driving all week on all battery. Then on a 3-day weekend can cover 1,000 miles without stopping at a gas station. Then back to battery through the week!

Thanks for being here!
@@RaitisRides No problem.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for letting me share this with you!
9th :)
Thanks for your dedication!
