Thinking of buying the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv?

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2021 Audi Q5 Progressiv, read what the figures say and how to try one first.

What to check on the Q5

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 74 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid is what moves it, with 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 sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

A combined rating of 8.8 L/100 km works out to about 26 litres per 300 km. It can cover about 644 km on electricity before switching to gas. A 300 km weekend costs about $40.92 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Q5 makes sense

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Practical details

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. The length is 4.68 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the Q5 on your commute before you commit to it.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 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.
