Thinking of buying the 2016 Audi Q5?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Audi Q5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2016 Audi Q5 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through an 8-speed automatic. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The EPA rates it at 8.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $13.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the Q5 is like
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q5 answers the big questions. A week with the Q5 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
