A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is what to know about the 2020 Audi Q5 Progressiv before buying one.

Before you sign for the Q5

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 25 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, unknown or other and engine.

The numbers in plain words

It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

At 9.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. Driving 300 km costs roughly $50.91 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the Q5

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length. At 4.66 m long, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Who it is for

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

A longer test drive

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Q5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
