    Auto loans: the 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv

    CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2018 Audi Q5 Progressiv before buying one.

    Before you sign for the Q5

    Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 208 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and engine. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

    The figures, translated

    It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

    The EPA rates it at 9.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. For 1,000 km, budget about $168 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Space, size and seats

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

    Best uses

    It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

    Money matters

    Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

    Narrowing it down

    Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
