The 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv for buyers

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. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2023 Audi Q5 Progressiv is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Q5

NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. 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. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

Engine and fuel

The engine 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.

It is rated at 9.3 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 28 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $14.42, and a 300 km weekend about $43.26. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Best uses

It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Practical details

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Try before you buy

A week with the Q5 answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q5 answers the big questions.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.42 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting.
