The 2018 Audi Q5 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Audi Q5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2018 Audi Q5, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 208 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and engine. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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.
What the figures tell you
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 7-speed automatic. 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 combined figure, 9.6 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Q5
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the Q5
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Try before you buy
Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review. Drive the Q5 on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
