    Thinking of buying the 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv?

    No 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. The 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

    Before you sign for the Q5

    Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

    Engine and fuel

    Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

    By the EPA's combined rating of 9.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 29 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $168 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

    What to expect from the Q5

    The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

    Who the Q5 suits

    It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Try the Q5 on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    The cost of driving it

    Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel.

    Choosing the right one

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
