Electrified Legacy
Shield Grille & Matrix Lights: The iconic hexagon grille evolves into a sealed panel, flanked by customizable Matrix LED DRLs. A drag coefficient of Cd 0.29 aids efficiency without sacrificing presence .
Space Optimization: At 4876mm long with a 2965mm wheelbase, it offers 6/7-seat configurations. The third row suits children best; adults may find it snug for long journeys .
Detailing: 21-inch aero wheels (front: 235/45 R21; rear: 265/40 R21) and a full-width light bar underscore its tech ethos .
Efficiency Over Exuberance
Battery & Range: An 83.4kWh ternary lithium pack delivers up to 560km CLTC (RWD) / 520km (AWD). Real-world range hovers at ~420km (AWD), with 100kW DC charging restoring 80% in 40 minutes .
Motor Options:
40 e-tron (RWD): 150kW/310N·m, 0-100km/h in 9.3s, energy sipping at 15.9kWh/100km;
50 e-tron quattro (AWD): 225kW/460N·m, 0-100km/h in 6.7s. The e-quattro system redistributes torque in 30ms, excelling in low-grip scenarios .
Controversy: Rear drum brakes draw criticism but perform reliably under stress .
Silent Sanctuary
Materials: Nappa leather upholstery, matte wood trim, and microfiber headliners evoke Audi’s luxury DNA. Front seats feature ventilation/massage, with driver memory as standard .

Dynamic DNA: Despite 2,410kg weight, the front MacPherson strut + rear multi-link setup delivers composed cornering, outclassing the softer iX3.
Conclusion: The Understated Benchmark
The 2024 Audi Q5 e-tron redefines luxury EVs not by chasing specs, but by mastering everyday usability. It’s a vehicle designed for those who value discretion over dazzle — proving that in the electric age, comfort and competence can coexist without compromise, it now poses a formidable challenge to premium rivals .
