Adaptive cruise control became standard for 2023, making that model year the one to have, as only small changes are expected for 2024.

Comparison: Is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Plug-in better than the Audi Q5?

The plug-in hybrid offers greater efficiency and greater power, without compromising the basic package of the Q5. However, it's also much more expensive than non-hybrid Q5 models, although constantly fluctuating prices for electrified vehicles mean that may not be reflected in the used-vehicle market. And keep in mind that a plug-in hybrid doesn't deliver any real benefit unless it's plugged in regularly.

Is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Plug-In a reliable car?

The 2023 Audi Q5 scored 73 out of 100 points in J.D. Power's consumer ratings, but J.D. Power doesn't break out results for the plug-in hybrid model. That score put the Q5 outside the top four in the Compact Premium SUV category.

Is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Plug-In worth the cost?

The Q5 is a solid small luxury SUV, but the plug-in hybrid version is a big step up from other models in price. It also doesn't offer as much electric range as plug-in hybrid versions of rival SUVs like the Lexus NX and Volvo XC60. So it's not the best value.
