The upcoming 2022 Audi Q5 55 TFSI e quattro will be equipped with a higher capacity battery than the current 2021 model year, which translates to a higher all-electric range.

Just like in the case of the new 2022 A7 PHEV, the battery capacity is 17.9 kWh total (up 3.8 kWh or 24% from 14.1 kWh) and 14.1 kWh usable. It means eligibility for the full $7,500 federal tax credit too.

As we can see, the all-electric EPA Combined range is up to 23 miles (37 km), which is 4 miles or 21% more than before (see the 2020 model year rating here). The increase is more or less in line with the increase in battery capacity.

The efficiency in hybrid mode and the total range is a bit down though.
