The 2023 Audi Q5 Technik for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2023 Audi Q5 Technik; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is what to know about the 2023 Audi Q5 Technik before buying one.

Before you sign for the Q5

NHTSA has 50 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and unknown or other. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

The figures, translated

Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid; drive: all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

At 9.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $14.42 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the Q5 makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Size and space

Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the Q5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting.
