The 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv: before you buy

No 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2024 Audi Q5 Progressiv? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

Before you sign for the Q5

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 20 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, service brakes and tires. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Fuel use is rated 9.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14.26, and a 300 km weekend about $42.78. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

A good match for

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
