Specs, explained

The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, 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 helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

The EPA rates it at 8.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 26 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 644 km before the gas engine takes over. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.64, and a 300 km weekend about $40.92.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

The Q5 in everyday use

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. At 4.68 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Renting this car

We have none on the site right now. Send a request for this exact car and we look for one for your dates. A request for your dates gets you an offer from a person. Similar cars are listed below if you need one now.

From your dates to the handover

To get started, send a request for the car and dates. You are not charged for it. We reply with an offer for the car and the dates, priced in full. An offer is valid for 24 hours, and you pay only when you approve it.

A car's page shows the deposit and the kilometres included each day. Rent for a day, a week or up to 365 days in one booking. Leave at least 2 hours between your request and the pickup.

The rules, briefly

You must be 18 or older and hold a valid Ontario G2 or G licence. Under 26? You can rent, with a daily young driver fee shown on the car's page. We need to see the card and the licence of the person renting.

For damage to the car itself, have your own policy (OPCF 27), a credit card with rental car coverage, or add the CarmaCars Protection Plan. The deposit is taken shortly before pickup, and the balance comes back after the return. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.
