Thinking of buying the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv?

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid drives 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. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 26 litres, from its 8.8 L/100 km rating. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.64 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space and size

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.68 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who rents the Q5

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Try before you buy

Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Q5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
