Auto loans: the 2016 Audi Q5

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Audi Q5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2016 Audi Q5, here are the facts that matter.

What to check on the Q5

There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

The figures, translated

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Its combined rating is 8.9 L/100 km, which means roughly 27 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $41.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work.

Try before you buy

Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Q5 answers more than any brochure. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
