Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 45 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and service brakes; have those parts checked.

There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

The figures, translated

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The combined figure, 9.5 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $16.63 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. At 4.72 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who it is for

Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Rent it for a week first

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.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $166.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
