Before you sign for the Q5

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 45 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

What the specs mean

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. 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 9.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 28 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $14.42 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Space, size and seats

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

Drive it on your own roads

If the Q5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. 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.

Which one to look for

Compare the Progressiv with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
