Plug-in hybrid Audi Q5 Sportback up for grabs in charity raffle

Audi is giving away a new plug-in hybrid SUV as part of its annual Audi Foundation Raffle, with all proceeds going to charity.

Audi Australia is offering a 2023 Audi Q5 Sportback 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid as part of its sixth annual Audi Foundation charity raffle.

Valued at $125,148 drive-away, the Audi Q5 Sportback is the golden prize for entrants who purchase a $50 raffle ticket through the Audi Foundation’s website.

With the help of Audi Australia and the national Audi dealer network, the foundation has raised $6 million for individuals and families in need since its inception in 2017.

The proceeds of the raffle will go towards charity programs and organisations including the Smith Family, R U OK?, ReachOut, the Children’s Cancer Institute, Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Youth Opportunities, Zephyr Education Inc. and the Country Education Foundation of Australia.

“Purchasing a ticket not only gives you a great chance of winning a brand-new Audi Q5, it helps us support many great charities within the community. We are overjoyed that year on year we are able to provide vital funding to our charity partners,” said Jeff Mannering, Director of Audi Australia and Chairman of Audi Foundation, said in a media statement.

“This would not be possible without the support of our Audi dealer network and those who purchase tickets in the Audi Foundation prize draws.” 

The 55 TFSI e is the newly-arrived plug-in hybrid variant in the Audi Q5 Sportback range, and the competition vehicle will be finished in Navarra Blue. 

The Q5 Sportback 55 TFSI e combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine developing 195kW and 370Nm with an electric motor capable of 105kW and 350Nm.

The plug-in hybrid SUV claims 53km of driving range on electric power, and a 5.3-second sprint from a standstill to 100km/h.

Standard features in the Audi Q5 Sportback plug-in hybrid include 360-degree camera, matrix LED headlights, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, leather seats and a suite of advanced safety technology including lane-keep assist.

Tickets are priced at $50 and are available online, with entries due to close on Wednesday 6 December 2023. 

Winners will be drawn randomly from all eligible entrants on Friday 8 December 2023 at 3:00pm AEST, with the draw announcement to be made on the Audi Foundation website.
