What to check on the Q5

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked.

The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid does the work, 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.

Rated at 8.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 26 litres for a 300 km round trip. On electricity alone it is rated for about 644 km before the gas engine takes over. Expect about $13.64 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Practical details

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.68 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who the Q5 suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Q5 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
