What is it? The Q5 55 TFSI e quattro S-line Sportback (yes, that’s really the name) is the first plug-in hybrid variant of the mid-sized Q5, which happens to be Audi’s most popular model in Australia.

What does it cost? It’s $110,200 plus on-road costs for the so-called Sportback, an SUV with a coupe-like roofline. A more conventional square-back SUV is also available for $7300 less, though with slightly lower specification levels.
