2023 Audi Q5 PHEV Service and Repair Manual
The 2023 Audi Q5 PHEV was built around one powertrain: a 2.0L turbocharged four carrying engine code DSMA, working with a plug-in hybrid drive. The torque values, service intervals and diagnostic routines that belong to that combination are specific to this build — not to a conventional Q5, and not to an adjacent model year of the same nameplate.

Known issues on the 2023 Q5 PHEV. No recalls are on federal record for the 2023 Q5 PHEV. No owner complaints and no technical service bulletins are logged for the year either, so there is no published fault pattern to work from on this model year — diagnosis starts from the car in front of you and the values Audi specified for it rather than from a known failure.
All five trims above run that single DSMA plug-in hybrid powertrain, so the engine and high-voltage specifications do not shift from Premium to Prestige. Where a 2023 Q5 PHEV differs from the conventional Q5 it sits alongside is the hybrid system itself, and that is where the specifications for this car diverge from the ones a gasoline-only Q5 would use.
