Audi Q52024

Known issues

• Battery capacity degradation over time (typically 5–10% loss by 80,000 miles); reduced electric-only range in cold weather
• Charging port water ingress and corrosion; 7-pin connector reliability issues reported in early PHEV models
• Gearbox hesitation during low-speed transition between electric and combustion engine (shudder/jerk when battery depletes)
• High-voltage battery thermal management faults; cooling pump failure leading to reduced charging speed
• DPF regeneration issues when driven primarily on short electric-only journeys; carbon build-up in petrol engine if ICE is infrequently used
• 12V auxiliary battery undercharging due to complex power management; occasional starter motor engagement delays

Good for

• Low-emission urban commuting if recharged daily; zero tailpipe emissions in EV mode for short trips
• Smooth and quiet electric acceleration; responsive hybrid power delivery when both powertrains engage
• Premium interior quality and build finish; good cabin isolation and comfort for long journeys
• Reasonable real-world fuel economy if used as intended (daily charging + mixed driving)
