The 2021 Audi Q5 Komfort: before you buy

No 2021 Audi Q5 Komfort is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2021 Audi Q5 Komfort before buying one.

A buyer's checks

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

The numbers in plain words

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid and all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Plan on about 26 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 8.8 L/100 km. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. At our price setting, it costs about $13.64 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Q5

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What the Q5 is like

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. Length: 4.68 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Try before you buy

A test week in the Q5 tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q5 answers the big questions.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Compare the Komfort with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.64 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.40 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
