Changing Discovery Sport For Q5

[Paul1981]

Hi

I'm looking to change our Discovery Sport for a Q5, there are a couple of options and plug in hybrid is one, the car is generally used for school runs and pottering around, it may be on the motorway once or twice a month, I wasnt looking for a hybrid, just liked the look of the car.

Can anyone give me realistic mpg on the hybrid and does anyone know how much the batteries are to replace?

I appreciate Audi guarantee them for 8 years but I think that basically means they will have 80% like after 8 years, the car I'm looking at is 2 years old, if I kept if for 3 or 4 years I'm wondering would it sell as the potential buyer I presume would be cautious of the 5 year old battery.

These are the two I'm looking at:

Boot size is a concern due to fairly big dog, in the discovery its no problem, I'm considering the BMW x3 but not sure if the Audi or BMW is bigger

 

Thanks

The batteries if they go wrong can cost up to 8-10k at least I believe.
