Thinking of buying the 2013 Audi Q5?
No 2013 Audi Q5 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2013 Audi Q5 for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 92 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, steering and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the specs mean
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.9 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Inside and out
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
Rent the Q5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
