Despite the generous standard equipment is hybrid Q5 quattro curb weight of 1910 kg (4210 pounds), the lightest hybrid SUV on the world market. All hybrid components add less than 130 kg (287 lb) more.
Ultra-precise welding and bonding
How the body is set up is also a question of accuracy. The areas that use conventional resistance welding now represent only 73 percent of the total - equivalent to about 5,000 weld points. To stimulate new forces, Audi use the link in some areas, as well as or instead of welding. A two-component adhesive are the link by 17 percent of cases, the adhesive joints to measure a total length of 83 meters (272 feet).
There are two in particular to develop technologies to come from the remaining 10 percent. Laser welding is the best way around the window sills and doors. Components of the visible part of the hatch water channels, such as zero-gap side of the roof, and are joined by high-technology welding. This area is a philosophy of uncompromising quality the most important joints Audi Epitomizing precision operation over the entire body.
The use of modern materials and assembly techniques is the basis of the rigidity of the body. It keeps the noise level on board low and opens an excellent management - which is the base for the tire noise low and sporty handling and precise.

Versatile: the rear seat and
A useful feature is standard on the most rear seat bench split ratio of 40:60 can be slid forward or backward independently 100 mm (3.94 inches). The center armrest has two pull-out cupholders. Other extras are manual blinds for side windows - a feature particularly appreciated by children when out and about in the summer.
There are many convenient features on the front, too. The door pockets are large and have supports that are also suitable for large bottles. Then there are two more cupholders in the center console. One is a hot item such as a cup holder. An electronically controlled Peltier - a principle-electric converter similar to that found in a portable cooler - works in tandem with a fan. At the touch of a button, it cools or heats the heat inside the cup through a series of 3 to 58 degrees Celsius (37.4 to 136.4 ° F). A small sample is used as a visual reminder to the user when the cup holder is hot.
The front center armrest is a particularly comfortable option - can be adjusted in length by 6.5 centimeters (2.56 inches) and four different heights. The unit features a soft foam exterior and is particularly important because of the absence of a handbrake, but instead is the electromechanical parking brake.
Engines and transmissions
The 2.0 TFSI quattro Audi Q5 hybrid has a displacement of 1,984 cc. Its output is 155 kW (211 hp) with maximum torque of 350 Nm (258.15 lb ft) available constantly from 1500 to 4200 rpm. The four-cylinder engine combines direct injection with turbocharging - typical of the Audi philosophy of downsizing, which replaces the induction of forced displacement. Audi valvelift system (AVS) further increases the power, torque and efficiency, changing the exhaust valve race between two phases according to the load and rpm.
The 2.0 TFSI has been redesigned in some respects, for use in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. The training of auxiliary unit has been abandoned, and the crankshaft bearing and tuning of the turbocharger are adapted to specific requirements.
A system of secondary air to the cylinder head ensures that the treatment of exhaust gases in the courts very quickly. Integrated into the engine control unit, the manager monitors the change effective hybrid and a smooth transition between operating modes, and has been developed entirely by Audi only.
Optimal interaction between the combustion engine and electric engine results briefly outside the system peak of 180 kW (245 hp) and maximum torque of 480 nm system (354.03 lbs-ft).
Powertrain
Highly modified eight-speed Tiptronic transmission is power without the aid of a torque converter. His place is taken by the electric motor in a disk, combined with the operation of the multi-plate clutch in oil bath - it engages and disengages the electric motor and the TFSI. Uncoupler innovative works with great precision, quickly and easily in any situation.
Very nice and fast hybrid gears in motion contributes significantly to the efficiency of the Audi Q5 hybrid four - eight gears are far apart. When the 2.0 TFSI has been turned off, electric pump to maintain hydraulic oil pressure to ensure a comfortable start-stop function.
Power electronics and electric motor
Power electronics, connected to the battery and electric motor power lines, is in the full engine compartment. In the form of a pulse-controlled inverter, power electronics is used between the battery controller, published in Washington, DC, and the electric motor, powered by alternating current.
Innovative technologies to maintain the volume and weight of low-power electronics, with cooling provided by a separate low temperature circuit filled with water. The component includes a DC / DC converter that couples the electrical consumers in the electrical system 12 V high voltage network.
Permanent magnet synchronous machine is an electric motor, starter, and - during deceleration - as a generator. Produces up to 40 kW (54 hp) and 210 Nm (154.89 lb ft) of torque. The electric motor is integrated in the cooling circuit of the engine.
Battery
A system of lithium-ion battery, which weighs only 36.7 kg (80.91 pounds), is used to store energy for the hybrid electric motor quattro Audi Q5. The compact unit with 26 liters (6.87 liters) is located in an area of crash safety in the cargo floor, with hardly any intrusion into the cargo area. The battery consists of 72 cells. A 266 volts, nominal power is 1.3 kWh and its output of 39 kilowatts.
Lithium ion is cooled by air in two ways, as needed. Low temperature load, it pulls the air in spite of hardened fan. If the temperature exceeds a certain limit, a separate coolant circuit is activated. E 'connected to the main condition of the vehicle and using a separate steam generator.
This active cooling quattro Audi Q5 distinguishes solid hybrid of many hybrid vehicles, and is an essential contribution to the high availability of the hybrid electric system.
U.S.
Commission's parallel hybrid system, the Audi Q5 hybrid can travel four to five different modes of operation. Guide internal combustion engine alone, the ESA alone or in hybrid mode, it is possible, as well as recovery and expansion.
When it stops, for example, before or at a red light, the two sources of the unit are disabled. In this practice, how to start and stop the temperature control system remains active. Once the driver releases the brake, the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro starts rolling.
The driver can switch between the three programs using a button on the center console or gear selector. EV characteristic short prioritize the electric drive of the city, the D-mode control two motors for optimal consumption, and S-mode portal and touch tiptronic is designed for sporty driving style.
When the driver accelerates strongly combustion engine functions as an energy source to drive. The electric motor is then activated by an operating strategy to achieve maximum efficiency and consumption. The rapid acceleration, or "force", the electric motor works with TFSI, with plenty of fuel in the S mode and overall system performance of 180 kW (245 hp) maps are available. The hybrid propulsion with its 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) of torque while providing the propulsion of a large naturally aspirated engine, but with much greater efficiency.
When the driver releases the accelerator, the electric motor acts as a generator and recovers energy. In most situations, the TFSI is then decoupled from the transmission system so as not to cause loss of traction. The power recovered by the electric motor, stopping here and is buffered to the lithium-ion batteries. If the driver brakes a little, the electric motor provides the slowdown in other more aggressive braking, the hydraulic brake system is activated simultaneously. The reinforcement is also powered by an electric pump vacuum. A complex rule-based strategy can be adapted to the driving brake and the recovery of electrical energy.
The highly efficient 2.0 TFSI is working with the electric motor to combine the performance of a six-cylinder fuel for a four-cylinder. Sprint 100 km / h (62.14 mph) takes just 7.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 225 km / h (139.81 mph). Audi Q5 Hybrid quattro is also extremely efficient, consuming only 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (34.09 U.S. mpg) in the NEDC standard, which corresponds to CO2 emissions of 159 g / km (255.89 g / mile).
If operated by the intelligent control system or master at a constant speed of 60 km / h (37.28 mph), Audi Q5 hybrid drive quattro on three kilometers (1.86 miles) on electricity alone, which means a local zero emissions. This value is not the only point of reference defined in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. The top speed of 100 km / h (62.14 mph) in pure electric mode is unmatched by the competition.
Chassis
Audi Q5 quattro hybrid uses its power to the road via quattro permanent four-wheel drive system motor. The improved traction, the dynamics of road safety and directional stability it provides are proverbial Audi "Vorsprung durch Technik".
Audi Q5 Hybrid quattro sport model in the hybrid SUV segment - redefines the reference frame. It combines precision and dynamism with a high degree of stability and comfort. The suspension mountings, steering, wheels and brakes have been developed for maximum performance and wide use of aluminum reduces unsprung weight to a minimum.
Five-link front suspension, with a lot of track 1625 mm (63.98 in), is a big factor in the dynamic character of the Audi Q5 hybrid four. Because the development engineers moved forward the difference between the transmission and the clutch further back, the tree can be placed away from the front. This configuration allows excellent weight distribution front and rear.
Lightweight aluminum - a material whose use of the Audi has an unparalleled level of experience - is used in many areas. For example, the largest and most complex component platform, engine and axle front subframe is aluminum. Rigidly bolted to the frame forward, is part of the body, and its high stiffness immediately transmits steering forces.
Lightweight construction: aluminum links
Aluminum is also used in the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid bearing assembly that connects the upper suspension arms control with the body and the pivot bearing. The front suspension consists of five links per wheel - one supporting link and one control arm down and arms control at the top. The fifth part is the rod that connects the steering with electro pivot bearing.
All suspension control arms are forged aluminum parts, ensuring low unsprung weight and location of the wheel extremely accurate. The stabilizer bar is made of high strength pipe, a design that also saves weight.
The five-link front suspension handles longitudinal and lateral forces separately when the car is moving. In the lateral direction, the bearings are stiff, increasing the accuracy and sports high-speed cornering.
Longitudinally, however, have an elastic, soft answer, which combines the dynamism of the sports sedan and the comfort of a full-size car.
The rear axle of the Audi Quattro Q5 hybrid, with its track of 1,620 mm (63.78 inches), is inspired by the self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension configuration lines A8 and A6 model. It combines excellent handling and ride comfort in a compact package. The Audi Q5 hybrid quattro offers great benefits for sport and leisure: the lip and floor loading are low and the ground is flat.
The unsprung masses have been re-minimized in the rear. The two trapezoidal links are pieces of hot aluminum cured carriers are cast aluminum wheels to relax. The upper transverse links and track rods are aluminum forgings. The stabilizer bar, designed as a tube as the front axle, also combines low weight with high rigidity.
Separate springs and shock absorbers
The springs are supported directly on the wheel carriers - an event that has increased ride comfort to luxury car level and improve the dynamics of the standard way for a sports sedan. The separate springs and dampers also improve the response, the special rubber formulations in the axle mounts to improve the comfort increase. The new rear suspension kinematics keep brake dive tightly controlled, and thereby add to the sporty car, the dynamic call.
Worthy of a sports sedan: the pilot
A unit is the electromechanical steering system with a small motor to generate electricity. The system operates with high efficiency, and non-energy consumption in the straights. This low energy consumption efficiency improvement quattro Audi Q5 hybrid of 0.2 liters per 100 km.
The Audi Q5 comes standard quattro hybrid with Servotronic. Configured as a power steering with speed-dependent, requiring little effort from the driver to maneuver into a parking space with servo driven high. At higher speeds to cut back the level of momentum for an answer very quiet on the road.
The range of wheels also underline the dynamic character of the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid. Audi sells new hybrid SUV equipped with alloy wheels style in two important dimensions - 19 to 20 inches. Measuring 19 inches and shod with 235/55 tires, even the standard wheels, a lightweight cast wheels, suggests the powerful performance of the Audi Q5 quattro hybrid hybrid disc. Audi offers winter tires of 17 inches and 20 inches.
Large, powerful brakes
The large wheels brakes quattro Audi Q5 hybrid are easily hidden brake until the tasks they may face. The four discs - measuring 345 millimeters (13.58 inches) in diameter at the front and 330 millimeters (12.99 inches) at the rear - are evacuated.
The high performance brake pads to achieve high coefficients of friction and stability are only slightly sensitive to fading even under extreme loads. The ventilated front discs are not the conventional cooling ducts. Instead, the two halves of the disk with hundreds of small metal cubes that are able to disperse a large quantity of hot air very quickly.
Brake calipers in conjunction with the design concept is based on a floating calipers. Areas that require load resistance is made high-strength ductile cast iron. Housing piston aluminum dissipates heat very efficiently. Despite their low weight, calipers show a very high stiffness.
All brake pads and the cover plates particularly lightweight aluminum - direct benefit from sports management, reducing unsprung weight. Calipers and wheel design also benefits the customer in a very concrete: the mechanic can measure the residual thickness of the brake pads when the car is raised for the service, without the need to remove the wheels.
ESP stability control system also emphasizes the Audi Q5 hybrid four sportsmanship. It works in a completely new type of high-precision hydraulic valves that manage the pressure build-up of a specific resolution. It works without any impulse to shake all too familiar, or obvious.
The identification of the roof rack is a novel extra feature. ESP detected by a sensor on the tracks if the ceiling of the members of the Red Cross comes with the car mount, and therefore, if the center of the quattro Audi Q5 hybrid rose gravity. If so, modify its control strategy to reduce early about the limits of handling.
Support Systems
Innovative support systems taken directly from the luxury class make driving less stressful. These systems help the driver to change lanes and stay on track and help with parking.
Intelligent assistance systems are the latest trend in the field of active safety - and the brand with the four rings will lead from the front of this development.
A look at the back of the remote control: the Audi side assist
Audi side assist uses intelligent radar technology to signal danger when changing lanes. Two radar sensors for the rear bumper, which acts as a frequency of 24 Gigahertz, scan the area next to and behind the four Audi Q5 hybrid, up to 50 meters (164 feet) from the machine. High-speed control unit analyzes the raw data.
If another vehicle is moving at a similar rate in the critical range, or is rapidly approaching the rear, a yellow LED display in the housing rights of the door mirrors or left. Its configuration is deliberately "subliminal." In other words, it is only visible when the driver looks directly at the mirror, it is imperceptible when the driver looks straight ahead.
The LED flashes rapidly and shine around a second case, despite the warning screen, the driver of the Audi Q5 hybrid quattro signals a lane change. The flash is almost impossible to overlook, because the human eye is extremely sensitive to changes in contrast in peripheral vision. Audi analyzed the effect of the screen in detail in the full series of tests involving drivers with a variety of backgrounds and ages.
The appearance of the screen is such that in practice is only visible to the driver. It should not be visible to vehicles following behind, to meet certification requirements, and should not be visible for the front passenger, for psychological reasons. The brightness of the display adjusts to ambient light conditions and can be adjusted from the MMI terminal. The Audi side assist system can be disabled with a switch located near the exterior mirror.
Maintain pitch: Audi lane assist
