Used Audi Q5 (Mk1, 2008-2016) review - What do owners think?

Audi has performed well overall in our Driver Power survey, and owners seem to rate the Q5 very highly

Despite making its debut in 2008, the Q5 has remained popular with owners who have heaped praise on their cars. Although some have complained about high running costs in our 2018 Driver Power used car satisfaction survey, almost all placed the Audi in the top-10 results for interior design, practicality, ride/handling and connectivity.

Reliability

In the same 2018 poll, the Q5 took ninth place overall, with fit and finish being rated very highly. And while reliability wasn’t as strong, it still finished ahead of similarly upmarket rivals in this category.
