Looking for luxury in your next hybrid vehicle? From BMW to Audi, many established luxury brands are hitting the hybrid market this year. With an increasing number of popular luxury vehicles now available in electric or plug-in versions, it’s not easy to know which one is the best fit for your lifestyle. Join the BMW of Murrieta team as we compare the BMW X3 hybrid vs. Audi Q5 hybrid on pricing, performance, and more to find out which one is the better value for you and your family in Corona!

BMW X3 Hybrid vs. Audi Q5 Hybrid: Performance

The Audi Q5 55 TFSI® e plug-in hybrid comes standard with a seven-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission, and quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology. The combined efforts of a 2.0L four-cylinder engine and a 14.1 kWh electric battery produce 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.

The BMW X3 hybrid plug-in runs on a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder with an integrated electric motor and standard xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. By combining the efficiency of an electric motor with the versatility of a combustion engine, the BMW X3 xDrive30e makes it easy to maintain peak performance. Customizable fuel modes – a convenience not offered in the Audi Q5 – allow you to choose the ratio of electric to gasoline power. Plus, boosting the efficiency of your plug-in hybrid is easy with so many ways to charge up. With benefits like these, it’s clear that the X3 has more to give:

  • Save Thousands — Claim federal and state incentives for driving a plug-in hybrid.
  • Charge Anywhere — Use the Occasional Use Cable to charge up at any power outlet – the cable is included as standard with every BMW plug-in hybrid.
  • BMW i Wallbox — Grab a full charge in just a few hours at home in Riverside.
  • Extensive Charging Network — Unexpected road trip? A wide network of public charging stations mean that charging on-the-go is no problem.

BMW X3 Hybrid Cost vs. Audi Q5 Hybrid Cost

For many drivers deciding between the Audi Q5 hybrid and the BMW X3 hybrid, cost may be a crucial factor. The base BMW x3 hybrid cost is about $2,000 less than the starting MSRP for the Q5. Another important factor is what you’re looking for on your daily drives.
