Auto loans: the 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv before buying one.

What to check on the Q5

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The figures, translated

The powertrain here 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.

The EPA rates it at 9.3 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 28 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $14.42 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

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

When the Q5 makes sense

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Try before you buy

Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
