This was such a successful car despite high maintenance costs (Poor people that buy luxury cars then complain are silly). I see Audi Q5 everywhere on the roads in my country, they are sturdy, powerful, comfortable, very fuel-efficient for its weight power/age, and have excellent handling, superior to X3.

I hv same car...its very good...8 years and 180000 kms....some things to look out for....timing belt needs to be complusorily replaced after 80 to 90 thousand kms...after 150000 kms clutch,mounts,etc...need to be replaced......good review...
Great review...bought mine after owning 3 other models and love staying with the Audi Brand - second to none. I do have the oil consumption issue and am looking into resolving.
Thanks for watching. Some oil consumption is normal for the VW group TFSI engines. But it is better to get it checked. In severe cases, carbon build-up cleaning and piston ring replacement may be necessary.
Hey Tom... Besides the piston rings you might want to check out your turbo as well... I just purchased a 2012 q5 and the owner said he had to top off the oil every once in a while before getting a whole brand new turbo.
Best of luck with your purchase. I hope the tips I shared on what to look for were useful. Just a tip: the newer the year the better it’s for reliability.
@@AccentOnCars thank you 🙏🏻 and definitely it was a helpful video. I’ve been searching on RUclips for a review on this car and finally I found this video which explained everything and satisfied me.
This is a good video. This car performs better than I expected in corners. Also feels a lot more torquey than I expected. Not just classy but a lot of fun to drive.
Thanks for watching! Just like with many German cars in terms of safety features they are ahead of the curve. Although used Q5 may not have all the features of the 2020 model, they have more passive safety elements than some new Japanese/Korean/US cars. In terms of reliability, try finding 2013 and newer within your budget. Also, make sure you get it pre-purchase inspected and have solid maintenance history. But you should not expect them to be as reliable as Camry, for example. That goes for all German cars.
Going to buy a 2011 Q5 with 98k miles for 14.800 what did you think about that? No accidents but it has 2 open recalls already fixed. Let me know what you think, thanks.
My recommendation is to get a good pre-purchase inspection. It’s worth the money. Ask the owner how much oil he needs to add between oil changes. You want to make sure the motor issues I talked about in the video aren’t present. Also be prepared to spend money on issues as they come up. We can’t expect Japanese reliability from these cars.
Great review!! I'm thinking to buy a Q5 2010 with 33k miles by $15k USD. Would worth giving a shot? I never have had a premium car before, just saw it and loved how comfortable it feels driving it, but I'm a bit concern about maintenance costs. Not scary though.
That’s a low mileage for 2010. If the car had been maintained properly it shouldn’t be too bad. Maintenance is key. Parts might get pricey. But unless the car has been totally ignored and beat up it shouldn’t cost you an arm and leg. I talked about what to look for when buying one in the video. V6 engine is more recommended.
Love the review. I'm currently looking at one. I had a 2011 VW Jetta TDI and hit a deer with it. Beside the quality of these vehicles. I believe all or most of them are undercoated at the factory. A big plus here in Indiana when they use salt on the roads.
Just bought this recently and I found a leak in the front passenger seat (floor) I couldn’t find where it came from. Only happen when there is a storm 😭. Other than that everything is perfect!!!!
Hi ! I just bought this Audi. Don't like my rims at all ! Also have a brend new Michellin and new breaks, new water pump, battery 🔋 Wish me a good luck 🙂🙃
Nice. I talked about common issues in the video. I’d say change oil frequently, not every 10k miles like it says on the bottle :-) Also, sometimes 2012 model may develop timing chain noise. If that happens (hopefully not) have someone look into it asap.
@@AccentOnCars I had a4 before, TFSI engines has a problem with burning an oil. One more question... When I connect my Samsung via bloototh I can make a calls, but, how I can listen a music ( you tube let's say)?
I live in the Dominican Republic. Lots of Audies coming from the US mostly 100k-150k and that scares me a lot because of the mileage. And then there are the local Audies mostly between 35k-60k mileage. Of course you can determine the US version some what with the carfax you can see where it is driven how many owners and so on. But mostly the cars bought here in the dealer they are taken care of maintenance wise. I am lookin for one that has lowish mileage and somewhat new. I guess this puts me for a 2015-2016 maybe 2017 model. But should I look also a 2013-2014 model with a very low mileage? Does it really matter so much the age? I am really scared from the high mileage I asked for one and the dealer told me 240k miles I said no thank you and it was overpriced (24000 us or something) Remember down here we dont put much miles on the cars because of huge traffic. My 2018 tucson that I have for 3 years only 15k miles made.
Labor rate should be affordable in DR, isn’t it? If you find a good car that checks off all the major issues, then go for it. Whether 2014 vs 2017 depends on how much newer technology you want vs price.
im thinking of buying a 2011 q5 2.0 105k miles, between 8-9k. carfax report says it was maintained regularly throught the years. thinks its a good deal?
This particular car has non-standard rims which may affect the ride quality. These cars run very smooth, but not as soft as RX350. If you’re looking for more comfortable ride, then rx350 is the winner. But if you value sportier handling and faster acceleration then Q5 wins.

Hi :) does anyone know anything about the q5 Hybrid petrol/electric 2.0, 2012, 211hp? Thinking to buy one but I heard that the fuel consumption is 12-15l per 100km. And the car jitters a lot when switching from electric to petrol mode and vice versa ? Any thoughts on that one?

I think DSG might be problematic especially at that kilometrage. Depending on where you live servicing it can be cheap or expensive. But you can get it all checked out. You can drive and see how it shifts. I think I’d get any car checked out really well before buying.
@@AccentOnCars Sounds good Do you think 184.000Km is still an acceptable mileage ? Car is not taking oil and got an engine revision at the Audi dealer @121.000KM Runs smooth

I found one with 86,000 miles. V6. They’re wanting $14k for it which doesn’t sound bad but I’m thinking things start taking a shit once it hits 100k
Get it checked out. V6 engines are stronger than i4 TFSI. But German cars require more maintenance.
