We wouldn't hold our breath in hopes of seeing the Q5 e-tron stateside, as Ingolstadt's menu is already filling up quite quickly with electric SUVs, with the latest two additions being the Q4 e-tron and its Sportback sibling. Ultimately, the Q5 e-tron was designed as a more luxurious version of the ID.6 for the Chinese domestic market, intended to be produced solely there, so it's not even expected to receive a European version that could be produced in Wolfsburg or elsewhere on the continent for the European market or for export. In dual-motor flavor the Q5 50 e-tron quattro will still boast a range of 323 miles, once again in the optimistic NEDC cycle, but still quite a bit north of what we've seen here in our US-market ID.4 models.
We haven't seen this battery pack in any VW Group EVs stateside, having made an appearance in the Chinese-market ID.4 X. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the Q5, as far as the drivetrain is concerned, is the 83.4-kWh (gross) battery pack that will give it a quoted range of 348 miles in the NEDC cycle. A third version with a smaller battery is also expected to land sometime later, likely with a 55-kWh battery underneath and a single motor out back. The single-motor version will serve up the now-familiar figure of 201 hp, while the dual-motor Q5 e-tron will dial that up to 302 hp. Intended to offer seating for six or seven, the Q5 e-tron will be offered with a choice of rear-wheel drive, badged somewhat opaquely as 40, or quattro all-wheel drive with a 50 badge on the back, both powered by the same 83.4-kWh (gross) battery. It's slated to be produced by the SAIC Volkswagen joint venture in Anting, China, which has also been tasked with building the Volkswagen ID.6, to which it will be closely related.
