What to check on the Q5

Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. 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.

The numbers in plain words

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. 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.

It is rated at 8.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 644 km before the gas engine takes over. In money, 1,000 km costs about $136.40 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. With a length of 4.68 m, it counts as mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

When the Q5 makes sense

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

What it costs to run

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
