No spare and no run flats.

What i love:seeing the motor shut off when going down the hills-even at 70mph. Electric only until I press down too hard. I've got two cars-- a hybrid + a regular Q5. What I don't like: No one bothered to tell me that it has no spare tire--even the sales lady missed this. In fairness--if I get a flat--I'm not gonna tackle trying to fix it myself anymore at my age---but come on guys!! Don't count on any below the floor storage space. With the sports package the seats are wonderful. Gas mileage is good for a car this size.....but at the price that's not so much as issue. Almost got the BMW X3 diesel--but this thing blows the BMW away with it's power-- with about the same gas mileage.

So far this Q5 is awesome. Great ride, good performance and reasonable gas mileage. All round it handles like a car, has the storage for gear and groceries and the comfort of my living room.

Great Vehicle/Bad Engine

Vehicle is great and performance is good. Problem is, the diesel engine went bad with just over 100k miles. Replacing engine is incredibly expensive. About as much as the car is worth! Thought the diesel engine would last a long time with good maintenance, but I was wrong.

Was worried that the 2.0T would be a little underpowered but that has not been the case. No issues keeping up with traffic! Select sport mode and it’s like a little rocket. Quiet, smooth and extremely comfortable even on the 750 mile trip to Chicago in December. No regrets about buying this Audi

2014 Q5 TDI Owner Long-term Report

At 38,000-miles and just over 3-years of ownership, the Q5 TDI still impresses! It's a pleasure to drive, comfortable, handles extremely well and love the torque produced by the TDI engine. The diesel mileage is impressive for a car of this size. Still getting 30mpg overall and on the interstate mileage is in the mid-30s. Audi will not be getting this car back - this is a keeper! 08/13/2017 Update: Completed a 3,400-mile road-trip this past June. A lot of interstate driving and driving through Colorado mountains. Car performed flawlessly! The car is comfortable and powerful and was maxed-out load wise for part of the trip. Carried luggage for 4-people! Absolutely no mechanical issues. Interstate mpg with cruise at 78-mph returned 34-mpg. As I said before, Audi will not be getting this car back - this is a keeper! 02/14/1018 Update: No issues. Finally got the "diesel fix" recall notice from Audi. Don't really want to make the fix but will do it and take their generous monetary compensation. After fix, expect a 1mpg reduction in fuel economy. Original pads and rotors lasted to 55K service! 08/14/2018 Update: Just had the TDI emission fix applied and have not observed any noticeable difference in operation. Fuel mpg impact of fix is yet to be determined. 08/14/2019 Update: No issues with the TDI fix. MPG remains the same (over 600-mile highway-range on a full tank). Interior holding up very well. exterior showing some dings and dents (my fault). Have no plans to sell the car. 02/14/2020 Update: No issues with car. TDI fix has had little or no impact on performance or mpg. Per "Fuelly," which has been used to track mpg since ownership, fuel (diesel) cost per mile is $0.09.
