Thinking of buying the 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. The 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

What to check on the Q5

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Combined fuel use is 9.3 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $144.20 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space and size

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Drive it on your own roads

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
