Audi Q5 TDI Premium Plus, Scuba Blue/Chestnut interior with ash inlays. Car had to be ordered and delivery took 82 days which felt like an eternity. The engine response is very good, but like the articles there is a very slight lag. It has no affect on any real world merge or passing situation IÂve encountered. The first 350 miles have been about 100 miles in town and 250 miles on an Interstate Highway road trip (70 mph). The in town mileage was around 24 mpg and overall for the 350 miles it was 31.4 mpg. Uses auto-shutdown but the start-up is very fast so there is no issue about keeping people waiting behind you. This function can be turned off from the dash.

I bought my used 2014 Q5 TDI with 28K miles. I have since driven an additional 250000 miles. I have replaced brakes once (upgraded rotors non-OEM) and upper control arms once (non-OEM). Fabulous performance from the engine and the entire vehicle. People do not believe I have over 280,000 miles on it as good as it looks - my wife's 2016 SQ5 has a better driver's seat, but body is no better,,,,WONDERFUL car

I have the TDI. Incredibly reliable. Safe and my favorite car ever. This is a drive it to the end car. I will do my penance with an electric car when it will go 400 miles on a charge.

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.

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.
