As the auto industry reforms its sales goals and market approach, everyone is also into developing hybrid electric vehicles to meet demands for more fuel efficient and environment-friendly forms of transportation. Audi is also well in the race and they plan to release the Hybrid Audi Q5 SUVs by 2011 in the United States.
Competitors like Lexus leads the pack with the development and soonest to be released RX 450h and BMW following closely with their ActiveHybrid X6.
According to sources, Audi engineers are planning to put a petrol-hybrid under the hood of the Q5. Since the features of the SUV are very similar to the platforms of the A5 and the A4, consumers may eventually get hybrid variants of them. Audi plans to release a Q5 hybrid with a combo of electric and turbocharged diesel powerplant.
