Before you sign for the Q5

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $40.92 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Space, size and seats

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. It is 4.68 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A week with the Q5 answers more than any brochure. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Running costs

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.
