Audi Q5 Review

Running Costs4 out of 5

Audi's Q5 is not a cheap car to run, but given its size and performance, it's competitive compared to other vehicles in its class.

The 2.0 TFSI engine returns 33.2mpg and emits 197g/km, the 2.0 TDI a friendlier 42.1mpg and 175g/km, the 3.0 TDI 37.6mpg and 199g/km and the 3.2 FSI 30.4mpg (no CO2 data as yet). High tax bandings for the petrols, but the 2.0 TDI diesel does better.

The Q5's not cheap to buy in the first place, either, but it should hold its value well.
