Does the Q5e have a display setting to show if the battery/engine or both are driving the wheels, like most hybrids/plug-in hybrids do?

If not, is looking at the tach the best way to know if the engine is on? On my test drive, I could not make out the transitions in any way (and maybe that's the point), but the geek in me would like to know how's it being driven

On MMI screen:Vehicle -> Vehicle Data -> Energy Flow Display
On Virtual Cockpit:: Depress View button to switch to detailed view.
On Virtual Cockpit: Select Vehicle Functions tab, than click Menu button on the steering wheel, scroll down and select Energy Flow

Yep it displays the drive mode. Green is battery yellow is engine. When both are lit then both are being used. You have to click on the view button to find that display mode.
