Anyone on the forums considering the Hybrid?

If you are why are you going with the Hybrid VS the 3.0?

and If you are not, why would you not get the Hybrid?

Anyone see any reviews for the Hybrid and has anyone actually driven one?

Personally I am interested in the Hybrid, but my main concern is that it is a new technology and may have issue's in the first batch, even though it has been out in Europe for a year.

I am looking to purchase a Q5 in Feb-March for a Summer ED.

Thanks

I'm tired of this idiots in Prius in LA.
Just to make them mad, I'm not even consider 2.0 - 3.0 all the way!
3.0 TDI will be my engine of choice - if Audi let me choose...

Isn't it the same timing they use in VWs too? I don't think it's new, they've been using it for a few years.

Just wondering the same thing. Any new insight?

Saw one at the dealer last week, it had the UGLIEST hubcab/rim I have ever seen.....

Agree - the alloy wheels look like cheap aftermarket generic wheel covers - $40 a set!
That being said, they appear to have an aerodynamic look (if not function) - maybe in keeping with the fuel economy objectives of a hybrid. Still, petty fiercely ugly IMHO.

I saw all the options in the 2013 brochure... they offer the same option 1" bigger, or a much more palatable sport wheel a la the gas engines. Agreed that it was an odd choice, especially given that this isn't really an economy-driven hybrid powertrain.

Sorry wrong forum... The Insight is a Honda hybrid.





just ragging a first time poster. Welcome to the board.

As some stated, the Q5 hybrid is more a performance oriented car, rather than economy. That is, getting additional performance without the consumption penalty.

Personally not interested. My new 3.0TFSI to replace the 2.0T is on order. Would have loved the TDI, but VWAG does not want me to have it, unless I buy the Tuareg.
