The figures, translated

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

The combined figure, 9.5 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $166.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Practical details

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.72 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Q5 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Q5 for a week and see how it fits your life.

Narrowing it down

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
