2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro

Audi Q5 Hybrid
Audi Q5 hybrid quattro is distinguished by visual features on the outside. The climate control system of the Audi Q5 hybrid was adapted to the requirements of electric driving. An electric auxiliary heater supports the interior heating.

The latest Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro wheelbase appraising 2.81 meters (9.22 ft) provides because a liberally roomy interior.--The options also include sophisticated driver assistance systems.
The 2.0 TFSI and the electric motor of the Audi Q5 hybrid are mounted directly behind one another as a parallel hybrid system – a straight-line concept with impressive efficiency. Together they have a system output of 180 kW (245 hp) and a system torque of 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft).

The 2.0 TFSI in the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro has a displacement of 1984 cc (121.08 cu in). The highly comfortable and fast-shifting hybrid gear unit contributes significantly to the efficiency of the Audi Q5 hybrid – its eight gears are widely spaced.
The power electronics, connected to the battery and the electric motor by high-voltage cabling, is located in the plenum chamber of the engine compartment. The electric motor is integrated in the cooling circuit of the engine.

A lithium-ion battery system, weighing merely 38 kg (83.78 lb), serves as the energy store for the electric motor of the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro. This heavy-duty active cooling system distinguishes the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro from many other hybrid vehicles, and makes a key contribution to the high electrical availability of the hybrid system.

With its parallel hybrid system the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro can travel in five different operating modes. Driving with the combustion engine alone, with the electric drive alone or in hybrid mode is possible, as are recuperation and boosting.

Once the driver releases the brake, the "Audi Q5 hybrid quattro" starts rolling. When the driver accelerates sharply, the combustion engine serves as a power source for the drive. In quick acceleration, or "boosting," the electric motor operates together with the TFSI; at full throttle in the S mode the full system output is briefly available. The hybrid drive then supplies the propulsion power of a large naturally aspirated engine, but with far more efficiency.

If the driver brakes only slightly, the electric motor performs the deceleration itself; in more forceful braking the hydraulic braking system is simultaneously activated.

The Audi Q5 hybrid comes with a new display concept, rendering the individual driving states of the hybrid drive clear-cut and tangible. The resonant Audi sound system is also standard.
The permanent four-wheel drive applies the power of both power units safely to the road in any situation. The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro may pull trailer loads of up to 2000 kg (4409 lb).

An electro-mechanical unit serves as the steering system, with a small electric motor generating the power. The system operates at high efficiency, since it need not consume any energy in straight-ahead driving. A complex rule-based strategy adapts the braking to the conditions of electric driving and energy recuperation.
