2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro Review
2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro Review
Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro will be exhibited at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2010. Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro became the first hybrid model with two systems. Audi Q5 Hybrid promises will be in showrooms next year
This parallel system allows the traveling in five different operating modes and the driver encounters the possibility to drive either with the combustion engine alone, the electric motor alone or the hybrid mode as the recuperation and boosting are also possible. Focusing on a high share of electrically powered driving, the Q5 hybrid Quattro successfully manages to provide an equally powerful and lightweight lithium-ion battery. As regarding the drive, the Q5 Quattro features a secondary air system at the cylinder head in order to make sure that the exhaust gas treatment cuts in fast. Fully developed by Audi alone, the hybrid manager controls the efficient change and smooth transmissions between the operating modes.
The Audi Q5 hybrid Quattro is scheduled to arrive in dealerships sometime during 2011.
Power like a V6, fuel consumption like a four-cylinder TDI - after three generations of the Audi duo, the Q5 hybrid Quattro is the first hybrid model from Audi with two drive systems. During the development process, Audi focused on a high share of electrically powered driving. The 2.0 TFSI and the electric motor of the 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 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 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 Q5 hybrid Quattro starts rolling. When the driver accelerates sharply, the combustion engine serves as a power source for the drive.
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 permanent four-wheel drive applies the power of both power units safely to the road in any situation.
The 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. The 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.
The options also include sophisticated driver assistance systems. The Audi Q5 hybrid Quattro will arrive at dealerships during 2011.
2011 Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro – Much like V6 fuel economy than four-cylinder TDI – three generations duo Audi, Q5 hybrid Quattro is the first hybrid model from Audi with a dual-boot drive. During the process of development, Audi has focused on a high proportion of electric power drive.
2.0 TFSI and electric motor hybrid Audi Q5 is fitted directly for themselves as a parallel hybrid system – straight-line concept with impressive efficiency. Lithium-ion battery system, weighing only 38 kg (83.78 pounds), serves as a repository of energy for electric hybrid. This heavy-duty active cooling system differentiates Q5 hybrid Quattro from many other hybrid vehicles, and is a key contribution to the availability of high-power hybrid system.
