Silver 2024 Audi Q5 Technik for sale in Ruby

Thinking of buying the 2024 Audi Q5 Technik?

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2024 Audi Q5 Technik before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2024 Audi Q5 Technik before buying one.

What to check on the Q5

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 28 litres, from its 9.2 L/100 km rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $42.78 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Q5

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Who the Q5 suits

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. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.26 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $142.60 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
