2024 Audi Q5 Summary

Audi has had a mixed history with plug-in hybrids (PHEV) in Australia. Under its ‘e-tron’ banner it has launched PHEV versions of the previous A3 hatch, and the Q7 SUV, with limited success.

But the German marque believes the time is right to add plug-in power to one of its most popular models - the Q5 mid-size SUV.

With decent driving range and a packed standard features list, Audi is not messing around. But how does it stack up value wise against the already popular BMW X3 and Volvo XC60 PHEVs?

2023 Hyundai Tucson Summary

If you look at Hyundai Australia’s current line-up there are some key pieces missing. Perhaps the most obvious is the lack of a Tucson Hybrid to compete against the popular Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, as well as the likes of the newer Kia Sportage Hybrid, and Nissan X-Trail e-Power.

Fortunately for Hyundai there is a solution that will fill the missing piece - the Tucson Hybrid. It’s been available in overseas markets for several years but only with the steering wheel on the left-hand side… until now. Hyundai Australia has finally confirmed that it will be adding the hybrid powertrain to its local line-up in 2024.

But we wanted to get a headstart to find out if this new model has what it takes to challenge the RAV4 and others. So CarsGuide.com.au headed to Los Angeles, California for an exclusive drive of the Tucson Hybrid to give you an idea of what to expect when it does arrive down under.

Obviously at this early stage we don’t have concrete details of what exactly we’ll be getting in Australian showrooms, but the US model is reportedly a very similar example of what we’ll get. But with that in mind, our scores for each category and the model overall should be taken as a preliminary judgement - not a definitive verdict.
