The 2026 Audi A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro is the first one in a while that doesn’t feel that way. Around town it’s a whisper-quiet electric commuter; press on and there’s a 270kW, all-wheel-drive weapon underneath. It’s genuinely two cars in one, and that turns out to be the whole point.

It plays in the premium mid-size plug-in class, though that field has thinned out lately: BMW has quietly dropped the 330e from Australia, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e is only now finding its way back. Few rivals can match what the A5 does here, standard quattro all-wheel drive and full price parity with its own petrol sibling. It lands at $89,900 before on-road costs as the Sedan, or roughly $97,000 drive-away depending on your state (the Avant wagon asks $92,900 before on-roads). For that you get more power, more kit and a usable battery at no premium over the TFSI. It’s the rare PHEV that doesn’t charge you for the privilege.

What does the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro look like?

Audi has always had a distinct look and feel, and the A5 e-hybrid leans right into it. Where some brands soften their hybrids into anonymity, this one does the opposite. It’s mean and aggressive down low, with a wide, hungry “Singleframe” grille and deep intakes, then all sharp lines and classy restraint everywhere above. It has real presence on the road.

My test car wore a deep dark grey that suited its sporty intent, set off by the standard 20-inch Audi Sport wheels, red brake calipers and a gloss-black styling pack. The full-width Matrix LED light bar across the tail and the fastback roofline give it a low, planted, purposeful stance. To my eye the rear three-quarter is easily its best angle.

What is the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro like inside?

Climb in and the cabin is all curved glass and clean horizontal lines. A single sweeping panel houses an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit ahead of the driver and a 14.5-inch MMI (Multi Media Interface) touchscreen angled towards them, with an optional passenger display set into the dash. The flat-bottomed leather steering wheel, S line sport seats and ambient lighting that threads through the doors and console all make it feel every bit the near-$90,000 Audi it is.

There’s one small but lovely touch I kept noticing all week: the illuminated door-release detail that greets you each time you reach for the handle. It’s exactly the kind of quiet flourish that earns the badge, and the sort of thing rivals at this money often forget.

Storage

Up front there’s a wireless phone-charging pad and the usual oddment storage you’d expect of the class. It’s a cabin built around the screens and the drive rather than maximum cubby-hunting, but there’s enough room for the daily clutter of phones, wallets and takeaway coffees.

Rear seat and boot space

The fastback roofline that makes the A5 look so good does cost it a little rear headroom, so taller adults may find it a touch tight back there, though legroom is fine for the class and rear riders get their own air vents and USB-C charging. The boot holds 331 litres with the seats up and stretches to 1175 litres folded. That’s usable rather than generous, and a little down on a petrol A5 thanks to the battery packaging under the floor. For a couple, a young family or a weekend away, it copes comfortably.

Technology and connectivity

The twin-screen MMI setup is sharp and quick, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a crisp 360-degree camera that makes tight parking painless, and a virtual cockpit that lays out hybrid energy flow and EV range at a glance. There’s plenty of control over how the car uses its battery, too. You can hold electric-only, blend petrol and electric, or bank charge for later, all from the MMI.

My one real gripe was the new console gear selector, a fiddly little toggle that never quite became second nature. In an otherwise slick cabin, it’s the one control you keep having to stop and think about.

Highlighted Features

• Illuminated door release: a lit handle detail that greets you every time you reach for the door.
• 360-degree camera: a clear bird’s-eye view from the MMI that takes the stress out of tight car parks.
• EV / Hybrid drive modes: hold electric-only, blend the two, or bank charge for later at the touch of a button.

Engine and drivetrain

Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four (185kW) paired with an electric motor of up to 105kW, built into a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch and fed by a 25.9kWh battery (20.7kWh usable, arranged as 102 prismatic cells in Audi’s new cell-to-pack layout). Together they serve up 270kW and 500Nm, sent to all four wheels through Audi’s quattro ultra system. Audi quotes up to 97km of electric range on the WLTP cycle for the Sedan and a weighted 2.6L/100km, with CO2 of 60g/km.

Charging is AC-only at up to 11kW, good for a 0 to 100 per cent top-up in about 2.5 hours. There is no DC fast charging at all, which suits this car better than it sounds. With the battery flat it drinks from a 46-litre tank at a more familiar 6.5 to 7.3L/100km.

What’s the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro like to drive?

This is where the A5 e-hybrid earns its keep. With 270kW, 500Nm and a 5.1-second 0 to 100km/h claim, the numbers promise a lot, and unlike plenty of fast-on-paper hybrids, this one delivers. Drop it into Sport and it genuinely shoves. Better still, it’s refreshing to feel the dual-clutch gearbox working through the ratios and the whole car coming alive as you press on. The quattro all-wheel drive and a low centre of gravity, with that battery sitting down low, make it feel planted and surefooted, and the steering is sharp and connected in a way that flatters a quick back-road run.

Then you slip back into town and it transforms. Day to day, the hybrid system smooths the gearbox right out and the A5 wafts along quietly, feeling more luxury EV than sports sedan. It’s two cars in one, a hushed EV for the Monday commute and a snarling all-paw weapon when the road opens up, and that duality is the entire point. On range, my rule of thumb with plug-ins is that real-world figures land around 75 to 80 per cent of the WLTP claim, so expect closer to 72 to 78km on electricity between charges.

Over a week of mixed driving my trip computer settled on 6.6L/100km of petrol alongside 5.0kWh/100km of electricity, the two working together as a PHEV does. And because there’s no DC fast charging, this simply isn’t a car you detour to a public charger for. You physically can’t at most of them, since it has no DC socket to plug into. It’s the kind of car you put on charge at home when you can be bothered, and most commutes will then run on electricity alone.

Is the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro safe?

Yes. The A5 carries a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating, tested in 2024 and valid until December 2030, applying to Australian builds from May 2025. That comes backed by a comprehensive suite of active-safety tech as standard.

• Front assist with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), including swerve, turn and front cross-traffic assist
• Adaptive cruise control with stop and go, plus lane departure warning and emergency lane-keeping assist
• Side assist, exit warning, rear cross-traffic and rear turn assist
• Speed-sign recognition, 360-degree cameras and park assist plus with front and rear sensors

How much does the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro cost?

The A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro 270kW lists at $89,900 before on-road costs, which works out to somewhere around $97,000 drive-away depending on your state (the Avant wagon is $92,900 before on-roads). The important bit is what that number isn’t: it’s no more than Audi asks for the equivalent petrol A5. There’s no plug-in premium, which in this segment is close to unheard of.

For the money, the standard kit is generous and there’s barely an options list to climb: 20-inch Audi Sport alloys, red S calipers, S sport suspension, a black styling pack and privacy glass outside; Matrix LED headlights, the twin-screen virtual cockpit and MMI, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, 360-degree cameras, three-zone climate and S line sport seats inside. Only a panoramic glass roof (around $4,990) and a premium package (head-up display, Bang and Olufsen sound) cost extra.

How much does the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro cost to run?

Ownership is covered by Audi’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with the high-voltage battery separately guaranteed for eight years or 160,000km, which is reassurance for the part buyers worry about most. Servicing falls due every 12 months or 15,000km, and Audi’s Genuine Care plan caps five years or 75,000km of servicing at roughly $3,000. Roadside assistance runs for six years.

With a plug-in, running costs come down almost entirely to how you use it. Over my mixed week the trip computer showed 6.6L/100km of petrol and 5.0kWh/100km of electricity together. At roughly $1.80 a litre for 95-octane and about $0.33/kWh on a standard home tariff, that blend works out to around $13.50 per 100km. Charge it overnight and stick to shorter trips, though, and you can run on the battery alone for most of them, at which point you’ll barely trouble a servo at all. That’s the case for the A5 e-hybrid: it rewards the home-charger, not the road-tripper.

Final thoughts

After a week with it, who it’s for is pretty clear: anyone who wants one car that’s a quiet, efficient daily driver and a genuinely quick, engaging weekender. The A5 e-hybrid is the best blend of those two worlds I’ve driven in this class, and a real glimpse of what harmony between electric and petrol can look like.

You’d only walk past it if you need something physically bigger, or if you’re firmly committed to one side of the fence, either a pure EV or a pure petrol car. The one thing that gave me pause was the price, but at around $90,000 this was never aimed at me, and Audi asks no more for it than the petrol A5 while handing you more power, more kit and an electric commute. For the right buyer, that makes it very easy to recommend.

How does the 2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro compare?

The obvious cross-shops have quietly disappeared: BMW has pulled the 330e from Australia, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e is only now returning to local showrooms. That leaves the most honest comparison a little closer to home. For the same money, do you take the plug-in hybrid or the petrol A5 quattro? The e-hybrid gives you more power, more torque and an electric commute; the lighter petrol car is a touch simpler and frees up a little more boot. Here’s how the two stack up.

2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro — Frequently Asked Questions

How far does the Audi A5 e-hybrid go on electric power?
Audi quotes up to 97km on the WLTP cycle for the Sedan from its 25.9kWh battery. In the real world, expect closer to 72 to 78km. It charges on AC at up to 11kW, so a 0 to 100 per cent top-up takes about 2.5 hours, and it does not support DC fast charging.

How much does the Audi A5 e-hybrid cost in Australia?
The A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro is $89,900 before on-road costs, or around $97,000 drive-away depending on your state, and the Avant wagon is $92,900 before on-roads. That is the same price as the equivalent petrol A5, so there is no plug-in hybrid premium.

Is the Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro worth buying?
If you want one car that is a quiet, efficient daily and a quick 270kW weekender, yes. It pairs strong performance (0 to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds) and quattro all-wheel drive with price parity to the petrol A5. Look elsewhere only if you need something larger, or you are committed to a pure-EV or pure-petrol car.

What rivals should I cross-shop against the Audi A5 e-hybrid?
The premium plug-in sedan field has thinned out: the BMW 330e has left Australia and the Mercedes-Benz C350e is only just returning. That makes the most realistic comparison the petrol A5 quattro, which costs the same money but gives up the electric range and some power.

2026 Audi A5 e-hybrid quattro — Buyers could also look at:

• Audi Q6 e-tron
• IM5 Performance
• Hyundai IONIQ 5

The post Audi A5 Sedan e-hybrid quattro 2026 Review appeared first on Eco Car Guide.

Physically, the IM5 is a nearly five-metre-long, four-door family sedan that lands squarely in the premium EV space. However, it arrives with a staggering proposition: a drive-away price of approximately $80,990, which consequently delivers a 0-100 km/h sprint in a claimed 3.2 seconds. In other words, this isn’t just a fast EV; it’s a supercar-killer for the price of a mid-spec BMW.

What does the IM5 Performance 2025 look like?

The IM5 has a sleek “sloping fastback” design that gives it a coupe-like profile. At 4931mm long and 1960mm wide, it has a significant, low-slung presence. The design is clean and aerodynamic, achieving an exceptionally elegant but sporty look to it.

This premium feel is reinforced by laminated, sound-insulating glass on all four doors and a large panoramic glass roof that comes as standard.

What is the IM5 Performance 2025 like inside?

For enhanced comfort, the seats feature a 20mm layer of soft sponge for a genuine “sinking in” feeling. Furthermore, in the Performance trim, they are heated, ventilated, and even offer massage functions. As for the finishes, the IM5 interior uses high-quality “vegan leather” (synthetic) that feels premium and soft to the touch. Complementing this, the headliner is typically a suede-like microfiber, further adding to the luxury vibe.

Storage

This is one of the IM5’s main quirks. There is no traditional glove box in front of the passenger. Instead, storage is primarily focused in the centre, specifically featuring a deep armrest bin and cupholders. That said, it also comes with a small 18-litre “frunk” (front trunk) located under the bonnet conveniently for cable storage.

A unique feature is the “IM MAG Hub,” a series of magnetic spots on the dash and seatbacks, allowing you to attach accessories like phone or tablet holders.

Rear seat and boot space

Thanks to a long 2950mm wheelbase, the rear cabin is spacious, with “limousine-like legroom.” The outboard rear seats are heated, adding to the premium feel.

The boot is the car’s biggest practical weakness. While the cargo space itself is a deep 457 litres, it features a traditional sedan trunk opening, not a wide-opening liftback. This severely limits its practicality for loading bulky items. The rear seats do fold down, expanding the space to 1290 litres.

Technology and connectivity

Stepping inside the IM5 Performance is undoubtedly an ‘event’ and a ‘glimpse of 2030.’ Visually, the immediate focal point is the 26.3-inch panoramic dual-screen that spans two-thirds of the dashboard. Functionally, it combines the digital instrument cluster and the infotainment system into one seamless unit.

Complementing this main display, a secondary 10.5-inch vertical touchscreen is mounted on the angled centre console for climate controls and other shortcuts. Consequently, in a move that defines its ‘software on wheels’ philosophy, there are no physical buttons for mirrors, air vents, or even the glovebox; instead, everything is controlled via the touchscreens.

Beyond the screens, the quality is a clear statement for SAIC’s premium brand, evidenced by soft materials and excellent fit and finish. Finally, the IM5 Performance is hardware-ready for Level 3 autonomous driving. To enable this, the roof features a prominent LiDAR unit (laser radar), supported by 11 high-definition cameras, 3 millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors.

One-Touch AI Features:

• One-Touch Parallel Parking: The car scans for a spot and parks itself with a single tap.
• One-Touch Reversing: If you drive down a narrow dead-end street, the car remembers the path and can autonomously reverse itself out up to 50 meters.
• Rainy Night Mode: In heavy rain/darkness, the side cameras project a crystal-clear, digitally enhanced view of your blind spots onto the main screen, highlighting cyclists or pedestrians that might be invisible in your mirrors.

Engine and drivetrain

The IM5 Performance’s staggering acceleration comes from a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain dubbed the “Hurricane motor.” It produces a ludicrous 572 kW of power and 802 Nm of torque—more power than a Lamborghini Revuelto.

This is all fed by a large 100 kWh battery. The car is built on a “quasi 900 volt” architecture, enabling a maximum DC fast charging speed of 396 kW. The official WLTP range for the Performance model is 575 kilometres.

What’s the IM5 Performance 2025 like to drive?

I’d describe acceleration is described as “exhilarating” and “brain-scrambling,” truly at a hypercar level. However, the IM5 is not just quick off the mark. It features a sophisticated chassis, starting with air suspension and continuously controlled damping, allowing it to switch from a “plush, comfortable cruiser” to a “taut sports sedan.”

Its “true secret weapon” is rear-wheel steering. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn opposite the front, giving the large sedan the agility of a small hatchback. At high speeds, they steer in line with the front, providing “immense, unshakable stability.”

Safety features

The IM5 has been awarded a 5-star ANCAP safety rating as of mid-2025. It comes standard with a full suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (Car-to-Car, Pedestrian, Cyclist, Junction, and Backover)
• A comprehensive Lane Support System (Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Emergency Lane Keeping)
• Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• A 360-degree HD camera and a Driver Monitoring System
• A centre airbag for front-occupant protection

Owner benefits

The IM5 is sold with the “full backing of the now established MG network.” This includes a 7-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for the vehicle.

However, the high-voltage battery is covered for 7 years or 150,000 km, and the complex air suspension and rear-wheel-steering components are covered for 5 years / unlimited km. Service intervals are every 12 months or 20,000 km.

Final thoughts

The 2025 IM5 Performance is a technological marvel that completely resets the performance-for-price conversation, offering acceleration figures once exclusive to million-dollar exotics. It’s an almost unbelievable package for $81,000.

However, it is an unapologetically futuristic and all-digital car that makes demands on its driver. It is an experience from 2030 available today, for better or for worse. It’s not just fast; it’s aggressively clever.

Dimensions

Technology

2025 Electrified G80 is built on third-generation Genesis underpinnings which provide the fundamentals for maximised driving performance and efficiency, outstanding active and collision safety, and exceptional luxury.

Dual-Motor AWD Powertrain

Dual motors – front and rear – deliver 136kW and 350Nm apiece, for combined maximums of 272kW and 700Nm, and a 5.1 second 0-100km/h.

2025 Electrified G80 features a new 94.5kWh fourth-generation high-voltage battery which brings driving range of 570km (WLTP) on a single charge. The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 25 minutes using a 350kW ultra-rapid charger.

Noise, vibration and harshness

2025 Electrified G80 is even quieter and more refined than its precursor, with the benefit of a reinforced body structure and the application of a range of advanced sound absorption technologies.

This meticulous engineering approach ensures a serene cabin experience that makes each journey a peaceful and luxurious retreat.

Ride and Handling

Active Noise Control – Road (ANC-R)

Active Noise Control technology significantly reduces noise in the cabin by measuring and analysing road noises with four sensors and six microphones inside the vehicle, and simultaneously creating noise-cancelling sounds at opposite phase.

Preview Electronic Control Suspension (ECS)

Preview ECS delivers optimal ride comfort by adjusting the suspension dampers in readiness for bumps and potholes ahead, drawing from the front camera image and GPS data.

Rear Wheel Steering (RWS)

Active rear wheel steering sees 2025 Electrified G80’s rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels at low speeds, to reduce the turning circle. Then, at medium to high speed, all four wheels steer in the same direction, for maximum stability.

Safety

2025 Electrified G80 introduces the latest suite of advanced driver assistance technologies:

Forward Collision-avoidance Assist 2 (FCA2)

If the system detects a collision risk with a vehicle, pedestrian or bicycle it will warn the driver. If the driver does not take evasive action, the system will control the vehicle’s steering and braking to mitigate the risk.

FCA2 has the following functionalities for specific driving scenarios:

• Junction Crossing: Provides a warning and assistance to prevent a collision with a vehicle approaching from the left or right when driving straight at an intersection.
• Lane-change oncoming: Issues a warning and subsequent assistance to avoid a potential collision with an oncoming vehicle while changing lanes.
• Lane-change side: Provides a warning and subsequent assistance to avoid a potential collision with a vehicle ahead or in the adjacent lane while changing lanes.
• Evasive Steering Assist: Provides evasive steering assistance as required, where there is space to evade the collision.

Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA2)

Let’s users complete perpendicular, parallel, and diagonal parking manoeuvres from outside the vehicle.

Lane Following Assist 2 (LFA2)

Helps keep the vehicle centred in the lane using the front view camera to recognise lanes and assist the driver with steering. If the camera is unable to recognise the lane, the system will use the vehicle ahead as a reference to assist with steering for a period of time.

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2)

The advanced Highway Driving Assist 2 system builds on the Smart Cruise Control functionalities to support lane positioning and lane change assistance, when activated on a highway.

Hands On Detection (HOD)

Alerts the driver to regain grip of the steering wheel if it detects their hands are not on the wheel, using capacitive sensors in the rim.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA)

Informs the driver of the speed limit using a combination of road sign recognition and navigation data.

In addition, ISLA can assist the driver to change the set speed in Smart Cruise Control (SCC) or Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA).

If the recognised speed limit changes during the operation of SCC or MSLA, a corresponding increase or decrease speed message is displayed on the cluster display and HUD, prompting the driver to update the set speed using the plus and minus SCC buttons on the steering wheel.

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Forward/Side/Reverse (PCA-F/S/R)

Helps mitigate collisions while manoeuvring at low speeds by warning the driver if a collision risk is detected. The system can also apply the brakes if needed.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

Warns the driver if there is a collision risk with a vehicle approaching from behind on either side. After warning the driver, if the risk increases, the system can automatically steer and brake the vehicle to help avoid a collision.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)

Helps prevent a collision with a pedestrian, vehicle or object during slow manoeuvring by sounding an alert and, if required, providing braking assistance.

Navigation–based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC)

Helps maintain a safe speed on the highway by automatically slowing the vehicle when approaching low-speed zones or curved sections, and then returning the vehicle to its pre-set speed.

Convenience

27-inch OLED integrated display

The 27-inch ultra-large OLED integrated display seamlessly combines the cluster and infotainment screens, to provide a 30 percent larger information area. This wide-screen creates a high-tech sense of luxury and provides crisp clarity.

The driver can interact with the screen using touch, voice, or dial commands. In addition, when using the satellite navigation system, the map display can be overlayed across the entire screen, with driving information presented on the Head-Up Display.

Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto

Drivers can now wirelessly connect their compatible smartphone to the car to control various apps using the infotainment screen. Music can be displayed either on the multimedia screen or as a widget in the cluster. When using phone navigation, the map can appear in the cluster while other apps are displayed on the multimedia screen.

Next-generation Genesis integrated Graphical User Interface

Updated cluster, navigation, and head-up display user interfaces reflect a consistent graphic concept, enhancing clarity and instilling a sense of luxury.

Voice recognition controls

User convenience is enhanced by providing natural language-based voice recognition control for functions such as the air conditioning, windows, sunroof, boot, seat heating and ventilation, heated side mirrors, and more.

Rear Door Easy Close System

The rear doors can be automatically closed from inside the vehicle with the press of a button on the door trim. When exiting the vehicle, pressing the button allows the door to be opened with a light push.

Electric charging door

An electric open and close function for the front grille-mounted charging door, along with inlet lighting and a newly designed charging indicator all underpin maximum convenience when plugging in.

Smart Washer Injection (SWI)

Washer jets integrated into the wiper arms provide improved vision while spraying washer fluid as well as reducing operating noise and washer fluid usage.

Bang & Olufsen Sound System

A 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen Sound System delivers rich high-resolution audio with the benefit of Beosonic, for intuitive personalisation of the tonal quality.

UV sterilisation compartment

A UV light-steriliser beneath the centre console armrest uses UV-C LED lamps to remove harmful bacteria from items such as wallets and sunglasses.

Heated centre console armrest
