Recalls and complaints

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Engine and fuel

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 7-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Expect about 29 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.5 L/100 km combined rating. Every 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

What the Q5 is like

Drive it on your own roads

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. 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, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.63 in fuel. 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.

Picking a year and a trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the Technik with the other trims of the same year before you decide.
