New Audi Q5 Hybrid is the first hybrid model from Audi with the two drive systems. Audi focused on a large part of driving an electric-powered. with gasoline engines, a 2.0 TFSI and electric motor companies have a system output 180 kW (245 hp) and 480 Nm (354.03 pounds-ft) to the sporty dynamics – the average consumption in the normal cycle (NEDC) is limited to less than 7.0 liters per 100 km (33.60 U.S. mpg). With lithium-ion batteries as strong and light and the other solutions, with quattro Audi Q5 hybrid is the state of the art.
The 2.0 TFSI has been overhauled in some respects for use in the Audi Q5 hybrid. The drive of the ancillary units has been dropped, and the crankshaft bearing and fine tuning of the turbocharger have been adapted to the specific demands. A secondary air system at the cylinder head makes sure that the exhaust gas treatment cuts in particularly fast. Integrated in the engine control unit, the so-called hybrid manager controls the efficient change and smooth transitions between the operating modes, and was fully developed by Audi alone.
A largely modified eight-speed tiptronic serves the power transmission without the aid of a torque converter. Its place is taken by the disk-shaped electric motor, combined with the multi-plate clutch operating in an oil bath – it couples and decouples the electric motor and the TFSI. The innovative decoupler operates with high precision, smoothly and quickly in any situation.
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. When the 2.0 TFSI is turned off, an electric pump maintains the oil pressure in the hydraulic system to safeguard the convenient start-stop feature.
