Are UK Q5's coming with MHEV technology? I.e. not the 50 and 55 plugin's but the other engines.

There seems to be nothing about the Q5 in Audi UK's site and very little about the mild hybrid tech in general.

Does anyone know? Do you ever get 'Coasting' on your dash?

Yes they are. My Q5 is a MHEV - 2 litre TFSI with a smallish auxiliary battery under the boot floor that is charged on the over-run and when braking. It gives a very brief boost when accelerating and helps with powering electrical ancillaries during the auto stop/start process. As I understand it also helps to smooth restarts too. I see coasting on the dash, usually at higher speeds when easing off the accelerator.

I believe most ICE Audis are now MHEV engines. Our other car is a 21 reg Q3 1.5 TFSI and it too is a similar MHEV set up.

Many thanks. It looks like a very sensible solution so I was expecting a wide deployment but there's nothing about it on the website so I was wondering if Audi UK decided not to include it.

Thanks for that 👍

Yes, same on 2022 SQ5
