Buying the 2020 Audi Q5 Technik

What to check on the Q5

NHTSA has 25 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and engine. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.7 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.91 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Inside and out

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. At 4.66 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q5 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.97 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169.70 at our price setting.
