I named mine Danica

My wife and I nicknamed out 2016 Q5 “Danica”, because like its namesake, Danica Patrick, it is tough as nails and fast as hell, but it always looks beautiful and classy. Many things about our Q5 TDI are surprising - mostly good and a few not so good. It has great acceleration and sports sedan-like handling, unbelievable efficiency for its size, and top-of-the line build quality. It also has surprising poor technology for the model year, and unusable voice recognition. The over sized outside mirrors give a panoramic view rearward, but create a very large blind spot that can be disconcerting, to say the least. Overall I’d say it was the best vehicle in its class in 2016, the last model year that the Diesel engine was offered. The 3.0 liter diesel is perfectly suited to this car, and it’s a pity that engine had to be scrapped in subsequent years. UPDATE: I own a 2016 Q5 TDI after my first 2014 model was totaled in a flood. I was pleased and delighted to find a replacement. Where do I begin? The turbo diesel is simply the best possible engine for this SUV, by far. It is extremely quick, and combined with the sports car like suspension it’s a bona fide sporting rival to the 2017 Audi S3 that I also own - but with much more room and utility. The one drawback - as others have mentioned - is the surprising lack of technology in a car of this generation, at this price point. I literally have to plug a phone charger into the cigarette lighter to charge a phone. That’s ridiculous. But that omission pales in comparison to the car’s merits: high quality interior, top notch construction, remarkable fuel efficiency, and sports sedan-like handling. This vehicle has it all. My Audi dealer sends repeated offers to buy this car back from me in exchange for a newer model, but since the diesel is irreplaceable, and it’s the best engine ever offered in the Q5, I will never trade it for a newer Q5.
I miss my 2008 Highlander over this 2017 Audi

I am not one to care much about technology but this cars technology is really bad! There is no USB port and no AUX port!! The back up camera is awful and beeps to let you know that something is in front of you when you are backing up! It does not have any motion detectors letting you know that someone is coming, like my husbands ford does. The controls for temperature and audio are awkwardly placed requiring you to look away to change fan, temperature, etc. The blind spot sensors have been faulty sometimes. The sunroof is cool but there is no way to cover it completely and now we are having a baby and the sun will shine through it so I will have to black it out. -and the gas mileage isn’t even that great. The legroom in the back is not great, hard to fit 5 adults even though it’s a “midsize” SUV. The only thing I like is the quality of the interior finishes.

Beautiful paperweight for the first four weeks I owned it. Timing shaft tensioner failed, then second time in it was the camshaft that failed. Audi refused buyback saying basically "too bad."

VW was successful in killing the diesel cars in the U.S. For many reasons, it was a shame since a frugal, low revving, torquey (is there such a word?) engine is ideal for the type of driving we do. Having owned a convertible Beetle TDI and a Mercedes ML 350 Bluetec, I wanted to get a slightly used diesel that would last me several years (or for the rest of my life - I am 75 years old). The Q5 was an ideal choice, and while I have only driven 2200 miles the first month of ownership, I think it will do fine. Update after 9000 miles - I continue to enjoy the advantages of a powerful diesel engine with excellent fuel consumption and reliability. Update after 17500 miles - COVID-19 really slowed down my travels. The Q5 continues to perform extremely well - no problems whatsoever. I have changed the oil once - that's about it. I am approaching the next required service at 65000 miles which includes a wide range of services and which will be quite expensive. I continue to feel that the car is worth it, though. Update at 60000 miles: still no problems. I have changed the oil, oil, air, cabin and fuel filters (the latter was a difficult job) and the car continues to perform flawlessly. I love the torque between 2000-3000 rpm. 76000 flawless miles as of Oct 2022, the only problem is the looming diesel fuel shortage which has already pushed the price so high that one of the diesel's advantages - fuel efficiency - is less appealing. When my Mercedes 550 S Cabrio gets 27 miles on 4 dollar gas and the Audi 32 miles on 5 dollar fuel, it is becoming a toss up. But the little grocery getter is still a blast to drive!

Had my Q5 (2.0 T Premium Plus package) for 17 months now. I am still really enjoying it and I still love the panoramic sun roof! It is such a good looking car -- inside and out. It is a pleasure to drive. Remains a perfect fit for me. It is not a gas guzzler but does require premium gas which is a bit costly. It is sporty and in the "S" gear has lots of pep. My only complaints are 1.) no USD outlets to charge phone (I recently used a 2018 A5 as a loaner and 2 USD outlets were in the center console - very nice - wish I had that); 2.) the front side mirrors are huge and create dangerous blind spots to things like bikes and pedestrians approaching from the side. Otherwise PERFECT!
