This is totally unrelated to the video, but I just wanted to thank you, Thomas. Five years ago the algorithm recommended your video about the 718 Cayman to me, and that was the moment I became a "car guy" for lack of a better term. That silhouette has been burned into my brain ever since and I knew that I had to own a Cayman within my lifetime. Fast forward to New Year's Day this year, and I finally have the keys to a 987.2 Cayman PDK. Every day I go into my garage, see that magnificent profile, and feel just a little bit more joyful. So thank you for igniting my automotive passion. Best of luck in 2022!
I am so with you on the topic of A/C control unit, Thomas! Had 2017 A4 for over 3 years and this classic layout is honestly the best. No voice control or displays (boo Audi for recent A6 interiors) will ever come close to this one. Also would it be possible to check consumption while in battery charge mode? How much does the electricity generation tax the fuel consumption? Or did you say it and I have just missed it? Thank you for another great review, Thomas! 🙏🏻
I always enjoy your videos, Thomas, and your attention to detail is excellent (e.g. clicking on the heater controls to hear the sound) which a lot of other reviewers miss. This helps to get a better sense of quality and whether the vehicle offers value for money. Something that I miss from your original RUclips format is the 60 seconds or so at the end when you provide your final thoughts when standing by the vehicle. In this latest format, you fade out at the end while driving which always makes me wonder if there is more to be said. Overall content is always superb, of course, so in all other respect your reviews are the best and deserve an audience of over half a million subscribers. Note to self: must get some of your Noah shoes!
Thanks Thomas u always spot on I like ur love and enthusiasm about cars u don't took nonsense stuff to the point always love from Toronto 🇨🇦 Canada I think nobody makes better lights than audi be it front or rear audi rules although I m hardcore bmw guy
Great review as usual, Thomas! Thank you very much for it. I really like these hybrid cars. The electric mode is very useful and ecological for people who don't travel long distances often and only drive around town and then back home. But then on the other hand they would probably choose a car that doesn't cost 80K if they don't need it that much 🙂
Thanks for another great Audi video. Yours are the best! I have a 2021 Q5 in Navarra Blue. Love it. I prefer my standard Q5 to the sportback, looks better and is more practical. The Q3 sportback, however, I think does look better than the standard model. Totally agree about the climate unit in the Q5. By far the best ever. I do like the district green, nice rustic rural colour which suits a large SUV.
Thank you for your detailed reviews. I love to watch the cars, tech, materials and of course the road networks on which you take the cars for the spin.
First, I cannot believe that you made a video on this car. Its not so high up in demand that people would need to know about but I am really happy you did it anyway. I work at Audi hence I have for myself a leasing offer and got a 55 TFSI E of this car. I have been using it for 2 months now and can second everything you said. Priced at 95000€ my car also has cheap hard plastics (unacceptable exactly at this price), since mine is a 55 version, the power is more but also is the fuel consumption. The range shows 45 km or so, haven't charged it to full yet but the actual range is may be 30-33 km within the city. The petrol range is always 490 km on a full tank. When the battery is empty never below 15l/100km. I have got in my log 17-22l/km in City when the battery wasn't charged. Also the lane keep assist is not really automation side as you stated, it's more of guiding you. On the contrary, it's a big and bold and comfortable SUV. Does pretty good acceleration and has a very neat top speed. Thank you for the video again. Editing the comment to add something - The automatic boot closing and opening sound is very cheap for a car of this price range.
@@Raggadish. inclusive of VAT with all the packages. And yes it can go upto 105k if you want to max it out. I don't have a sun roof for instance, nor do I have an individual color. You can spend money on literally anything at Audi :D
€95.000 for a car with a plastic interior, a (very) thirsty engine, a electric range of 30-33km which is useless, no really new high tech stuff, and a look like a Chinese brand. Wow, you must be a big fan. I am an Audi fan to, my first one was a 100GL, but this is over the top price-wise.
@@lrd669 well, as I said, I work at Audi and this was a private leasing offer. We must use the car only for 6 months and give it back at the end of the tenure. For 650€/month on top of which I get paid for the fuel, its not a bad deal. I would actually drive all the top models while I'm working here.
It's certainly more expensive in Germany than the US. Highest trim fully loaded is $69k in the US before tax credit, but $61,500 after credit. (Sales tax excluded, around $5k in most states ) Some states will offer additional incentives. That's versus $56k for the 40 TFSI and $59,650 for the 45 TFSI... so not much more than the 45 TFSI. Not sure why you'd say this isn't more fuel efficient than the ICEV version. In EPA, in hybrid mode it's rated at 26 mpg combined versus 25 mpg for the ICEVs. In electric mode it's rated at 61 mpge, and gets 23 miles of range. Certainly not the most efficient PHEV, but nightly charging will absolutely result in better fuel efficiency than the ICEVs, lower fuel costs, less maintenance, and less brake wear. I imagine Europe is really pushing to install chargers at workplaces, which could effectively double this vehicles daily EV range. Whether this car justifies its price is debatable... but then it usually is when it comes to luxury vehicles.
Dieselgate did make an impact on material, interiors etc. That loading time at 4:32 is this _Vorsprung durch Technik_ ? Could you confirm in your tests if Carplay's GPS instructions get included in the gauges/HUD ?
@@autogefuehl it surprized me (credits to @Rsymons RSEV) but BMW i4 does it, even in the HUD 😉 _BMW iDrive 8 features full integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The control display's large screen clearly presents all available apps in the system's menu. The user's favorite apps can be launched quickly and easily either via the main menu or the toolbar. The increased integration of app functions into the information display and even the BMW Head-Up Display also results in seamless transition throughout the screen grouping. And music streaming and communications apps are now integrated within BMW iDrive 8. They are displayed as original sources in the main menu, enabling customers to make full use of their apps' functions._
I don't really get why Audi cars are so expensive, most of their cars are in Mercedes price range (above 60,000), but the performance is comparable, the looks are comparable, and material quality and options are weaker to some degree Also there is Tesla there which have options at that range. Can you help me understand why some people chose Audi over other options?
Seems to be something Audi adds on when using 255 tires on the current gen Q5, Q7, and A4/S4 (though only on the front for the A4/S4). Other models don't use them as they already have extended fenders relative to their tire sizes, I presume. They are held on by three clips. Can't imagine what they accomplish, but that's regulatory bodies for you.
55 E has extra 400 lbs in curb weight over SQ5. More expensive than SQ5 (in USA at least), and slower to 60 mph (5 vs 4.7 sec), and probably doesn't handle as well as SQ5. Not sure I see a reason to buy this over SQ5.
It‘s indeed unacceptable that Audi is using hard plastic on the top of the door cover for anything other than an A1. Would have been a clear no-go some years ago. I wonder why they do it. Do they think people don‘t care? I care and would go for another brand that uses better materials.
16:00 Retirement is an *invention* so that unhappy people *hope* and *wait* to live their lives *after* they retire. Probably doing something else than their dream job. I don't think you fit into this category, Thomas.
I am an AUDI fan but this one is really Ugly. Looks like a (cheap) Chinese brand. Especially the sportback. Hard plastic on the inside of the door and dashboard! . No room enough in the back.
I do not understand how the interior tech in their top selling vehicle is still the crap from 8 years ago. Same thing with the A4. I will probably move to another brand because the Q5 and the A4/S4 are my options and the tech in the competition is all updated.
Boring... Hyundai and KIA hired skilled designers to draw EV6 and IONIC 5 Meanwhile, - Audi is sleeping - BMW is trying to make ugliest front possible - Mercedes EQ line I don't know what is going on with their cheap plastic bumper and disgusting design - VW ID.... Ok outside but so cheap inside, are they competing with Dacia? German automakers are so lost, they still can't believe what Tesla did to them 😅😂
Well….an indication of the new Macan PHEV…..but the looks are so old now, the styling details look tired and the interior is not as good as you might expect, The price is too high….it is an idea but I think stay with a Macan S for a while yet.🙂🙂
Q5 is number one celebrity car because nobody sees it. Especially in dark colors like this. Maybe this is why it's so expensive. Rich people buy these cars to hide from peasants.
Das Auto hätte ich beinahe als Firmenwagen Ende 2021 bestellt. Aber derzeit leider fast nichts an Sonderausstattung lieferbar. Maximaler Nonsens seitens der Autohersteller seit über einem Jahr...
@@autogefuehl I'm not sold on that platform. Everyone has figured out how to make a frunk in an EV. VW releasing an all new EV platform without a frunk is a tell tale sign that something horribly went wrong. This is also emphasized by the visible reinforcement bracing for crash protection under the hood.
Too much chrome and that HIDEOUS iPad “info-entertainment” popping out in the middle of the dashboard. It is atrocious that my Q8 got the new cabin 3 years ago and Audi can’t bother to do update the Q5 which is their highest sales SUV.
When it goes to infotaiment system and new screen: it is in fact really slow and hanging up all the time. Induction charges is frequently discinnecting and Bluetooth is braking when you use iPhone. After 4 months my Q5 sportback broke down completley due to battery failure (affecting brakes, gearbox and pretty much every functionality of the car) It shall be really embarassing for Audi. Surprisingly it is not ;(((
Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ruclips.net/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/видео.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Honestly it looks outdated on the inside (practically unchanged since the previous generation of A4 / Q5, except for a larger screen) and the more affordable brands have stepped up in material quality as well as infotainment and security features that are already included in higher trims, for the most part. This Q5 (not specifically the hybrid, all Q5's) makes absolutely no sense price-wise and is an overpriced car for badge snobs. I would take the new Lexus NX or a DS7 over this any day, and save money doing it.

as long as people keep buying/leasing them they don't care.
Hi Thomas, can you also review Audi Q3 TFSI E for us.
Hi, great review which lead to me picking up one of these today.
Can’t seem to find the proximity sensor feature though? Uk spec 50 tfsi e S Line
Thanks! Maybe u dont have the OLED
I agree the interior especially the info screen is not consistent with cars price.
I like the car, but the interior quality (I've already sat in it) is a huge drawback.
I agree, it looks dated, and the quality of the materials could be better.
It's certainly more expensive in Germany than the US. Highest trim fully loaded is $69k in the US before tax credit, but $61,500 after credit. (Sales tax excluded, around $5k in most states ) Some states will offer additional incentives. That's versus $56k for the 40 TFSI and $59,650 for the 45 TFSI... so not much more than the 45 TFSI.

How does it compare with x4 n glc coupe?
But when the door closing sound is solid ?
Shame you have stopped measuring the load length with sits fully down, was very useful
I still do that, not always though
How would you compare Q5 hybrid and Q4 etron? Special that Q5 is now more power than BEV? Could assume that is coming some "RS"-version from Q4
completely different vehicle indeed. ruclips.net/video/YrVd_9jnFTU/видео.html

What is that piece of plastic sticking out of the top of the wheel well at 1:47? It looks terrible!
Mandatory by law. If you have big wheels, this is the law that you have to widen the wheel arch
Seems to be something Audi adds on when using 255 tires on the current gen Q5, Q7, and A4/S4 (though only on the front for the A4/S4).

Can't imagine what they accomplish, but that's regulatory bodies for you.
Interior hasn't changed in the last 6 years not one tiny bit.. I don't know how they do it..
The exteriors of Audi barely change. They stopped designing the saloons in about 1994 and barely anyone noticed.
It looks sooo dated; the interior.
They should be redesigning it this or next year maybe both the A4 and Q5
How about fuel economy with a full battery if you drive about 100 KM?
then you consume nothing for 40 km and 10 l / 100 km for 60 km :P
55 E has extra 400 lbs in curb weight over SQ5. More expensive than SQ5 (in USA at least), and slower to 60 mph (5 vs 4.7 sec), and probably doesn't handle as well as SQ5. Not sure I see a reason to buy this over SQ5.
I do prefer the SUV shape for this particular Audi
I think this is the quality that a VW should aim for not a luxury brand like Audi. Needs more style and materials.
PHEV is really the worst of both worlds.
Nice, yet overpriced car. 20k € more expensive than the RAV4 plug-in!
It‘s indeed unacceptable that Audi is using hard plastic on the top of the door cover for anything other than an A1. Would have been a clear no-go some years ago. I wonder why they do it. Do they think people don‘t care? I care and would go for another brand that uses better materials.

Agree, no reason to pay premium for a Chinese looking car. And not to mention the extremely high running costs.
I do not understand how the interior tech in their top selling vehicle is still the crap from 8 years ago. Same thing with the A4. I will probably move to another brand because the Q5 and the A4/S4 are my options and the tech in the competition is all updated.
There is already a new A4 on the way so that will probably match up
First from 🇵🇹.
Obrigado!

Meanwhile,
- Audi is sleeping
- BMW is trying to make ugliest front possible
- Mercedes EQ line I don't know what is going on with their cheap plastic bumper and disgusting design
- VW ID.... Ok outside but so cheap inside, are they competing with Dacia?
German automakers are so lost, they still can't believe what Tesla did to them 😅😂
Good review as usual though, thank you
The BMW front has the nose of the Green pig in Angry birds game.. how the executives approved that design is beyond me.
Tesla, unacceptable at any price!
Since when is Tesla Benchmark in Terms of Design? Its a Personal decision in every way
Cheers!
You do realize that inside those rotary temp controls are just digital encoders. The click is just for humans to drool over. 😉
NO.2
Well….an indication of the new Macan PHEV…..but the looks are so old now, the styling details look tired and the interior is not as good as you might expect, The price is too high….it is an idea but I think stay with a Macan S for a while yet.🙂🙂
this color...
the SQ5 is quicker than the Q5 55 TFSI e. It accelerates in 5,1 Sec. vs. 5,3 Sec in the TFSI e. But yeah, not much difference there
Mhhh the numbers i saw were that phev was faster 🤨 but indeed hardly any difference
Not sure why manufacturers offer these offbeat colours. Are there customers who like them?
I thought the same
Q5 is Pontiac of Macan cousin
Q5 is number one celebrity car because nobody sees it.
Especially in dark colors like this.
Maybe this is why it's so expensive.

Why not just buy a full electric car? This PHEV is very niche. The European Union is lacking behind electrification compared to China.
Thats Audi Q4 etron then
@@autogefuehl I'm not sold on that platform. Everyone has figured out how to make a frunk in an EV. VW releasing an all new EV platform without a frunk is a tell tale sign that something horribly went wrong.
This is also emphasized by the visible reinforcement bracing for crash protection under the hood.
I also noticed weaknesses with this platform: ruclips.net/video/HDo5Zm4wRS4/видео.html
@@autogefuehl hopefully Volkswagen can fix the interior at least in the facelift. Ferdinand Piëch is rolling in his grave right now.
Too much chrome and that HIDEOUS iPad “info-entertainment” popping out in the middle of the dashboard. It is atrocious that my Q8 got the new cabin 3 years ago and Audi can’t bother to do update the Q5 which is their highest sales SUV.
It’s pronounced Q5 FEV!
When it goes to infotaiment system and new screen: it is in fact really slow and hanging up all the time. Induction charges is frequently discinnecting and Bluetooth is braking when you use iPhone.
After 4 months my Q5 sportback broke down completley due to battery failure (affecting brakes, gearbox and pretty much every functionality of the car) It shall be really embarassing for Audi. Surprisingly it is not ;(((
Holy sh t!
New Audi cars are full of plastic in the interior, big disappointment !
It's just... meh.. the color dosnt help. I love interesting colors but this isn't working. Also what's with the materials? Genesis kills this.
This car looks so old, I think it is now time to go electric.
For these prices, Audi Q4 is cheap.
Not sure its just me but this car looks sooo old
It just looks like such an outdated vehicle. I know it's new but it still looks like it's from 2016, even the interior looks old.
Ahhh, conventional climate control dials 🤤🎛
Such cheap interior , horror.
2nd
Way overpriced.
Not as a used one.
First
They should replace the hard plastic with animal skin.
They can use leatherette for that.
Please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which exact body part you would be murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination.
If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ruclips.net/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/видео.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And if you want the slick look or something to wipe clean easier, that is possible with animal free leatherette.
And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html
More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html
Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all it is just common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Honestly it looks outdated on the inside (practically unchanged since the previous generation of A4 / Q5, except for a larger screen) and the more affordable brands have stepped up in material quality as well as infotainment and security features that are already included in higher trims, for the most part. This Q5 (not specifically the hybrid, all Q5's) makes absolutely no sense price-wise and is an overpriced car for badge snobs. I would take the new Lexus NX or a DS7 over this any day, and save money doing it.
Lexus NX review is now here: ruclips.net/video/KaZ5LMkYA44/видео.html
Oh another Audi that looks like Audis from 15 years ago... Seriously - time for a change of design language.
What's up with boring Audi designs. Same design from the past 10 years.
Can you stop saying ‘HERE?’
Here
😄
The rear is so ugly with the cheap plastic bumper and THE fakest exhaust
Pls review normal petrol/diesel cars. PHEW is a waste.
But at least we now all see that its a bad technology.
Buying a plug-in hybrid is a waste if money
fabulous video and format. Appreciate all the details. Merci
