The Audi Q5 is a 5-door SUV / 5-door coupé SUV (Sportback) (2020–present) from Audi, built from 2008, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine. Christian Winkelmann (2005) drew it.

The background

The Audi Q5 is a series of compact luxury crossover SUVs produced by the German luxury car manufacturer Audi from 2008. The original first-generation (Typ 8R) model was the third member of the B8 family to be released after the Audi A5 and fourth-generation A4, all being based on the Audi MLB platform. The second generation Q5 (Typ 80A) debuted in 2018 and shares the Audi MLB Evo platform with the corresponding B9 versions of the A4 and A5.

The engineering

Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 1850 kg. It shifts through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / 6-speed ZF 6HP transmission / ZF 6HP Tiptronic / 8-speed ZF 8HP transmission / ZF 8HP Tiptronic / 7-speed Dual clutch transmission / S Tronic. The wheelbase is 2807 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Where it sits

Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Ingolstadt. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Tesla Roadster, the Nissan 370Z, the Nissan GT-R — show what else the money bought that year. Its Audi stablemates include the Audi 200 and the Audi 225.

What it costs now

The money question first: $10,000–$49,100 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,455–$7,342 a year. Insurance sits around $1,300–$2,930 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
