Buying the 2018 Audi Q5 Technik

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Audi Q5 Technik for sale by us right now. Buying the 2018 Audi Q5 Technik is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Q5

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 208 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and engine. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

What the specs mean

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

At 9.6 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. 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

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

Who it is for

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Q5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the Technik with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Ruby and the Q5

Ruby is about 3,105 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Ruby.
