What you must know before buying the Audi Q5

Kimberly Smith, Automotive Editor -September 08, 2018

2018 Audi Q5 features new standard tech; 2019s can be reserved
Lease: From $439 per month for 36 months
Finance: From 4.99% APR for 66 months + $1,500
Bonus cash: Unadvertised discounts + $1,000 loyalty

Take it for a spin:

Dealer supplies of new 2018 Q5s have improved, so you should have little trouble finding one to test drive.

The lineup now features the Summer of Audi Tech Value Package which represents a $1,300 savings compared to adding the included options separately. Pricing on these models starts a little higher than any remaining inventory that doesn’t include the Tech Value Package as standard. Dealers may still carry both in stock; if so, look for “Technology Value Package” listed on the window sticker to know which is which.

The current offers listed below are available nationally and end on October 1, 2018.

Heads up: Dealers are now taking orders for the 2019 Q7. Pricing starts at $43,945 MSRP for the 2019 2.0T Premium, compared to $42,475 MSRP (before discounts) for the 2018. Note that the incentives featured below are for 2018 models only.

This month's lease deals:

Promotional lease rates start as low as $439 per month for 36 months with $3,894 due at signing (previously $459 per month for 36 months with $4,369 due at signing) for the 2018 2.0T Premium with the new Tech Value Package (10,000 miles per year). With an effective monthly cost of $547, this is still a poor value considering the vehicle's MSRP.

Finance bonus:

Promotional financing rates for 2018 models start at 4.99% APR for up to 66 months.

Promotional rates are up by 0.5% APR and reflect a general increase in consumer financing costs nationwide. To make up for that, Audi is offering a $1,500 finance bonus.

Extra credit:

Not wanting to finance? There’s still room to save, as dealers are being incentivized by the manufacturer to sell their remaining 2018 inventories, which means you can get up to $1,500 off a 2018 if you negotiate well this month. These discounts aren’t being advertised, and because dealers aren't obligated to pass along the savings, it’ll be up to you to get the deal you deserve. Note that these discounts cannot be combined with this month’s promotional finance rates or finance bonus.

In addition, current Audi owners and lessees can get $1,000 off a new 2018 when that vehicle is financed or leased through Audi Financial Services. No trade-in is required.

Model Preview

In 2018, the Audi Q5 entered its second generation, ushering in a brand-new look that gave it a sharper, sportier appearance and some extra power. With everything still so fresh on this luxury crossover, we don’t expect to see any big changes on the 2019 Q5.

As a carryover model, we anticipate zero changes to the new-for-2018 appearance of the Audi Q5. It will retain its sharp and somewhat sporty exterior looks, which were drawn from the larger Q7, while the interior will remain comfortable, upscale, and chock-full with features.

Speaking of features, we also expect the standard features to remain the same on the 2019 Q5. If our expectations are accurate, the base Premium trim will come with tons of desirable features, including 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, automatic xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, leather upholstery, tri-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more.

Also expected to remain the same is its powertrain, which in 2018 includes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks out 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The standard transmission will remain a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, while standard Quattro all-wheel drive will also remain.

The 2018 Q5 was an IIHS Top Safety Pick, thanks to its “Good” results in all five crash tests and “Superior” rating in the front-crash avoidance test. What keeps it from being a Top Safety Pick+ is its “Marginal” rating in the headlight test. Unlike many vehicles, its Top Safety Pick status is valid with the Q5’s standard equipment, as automatic emergency braking is included at no added cost. Because there are no changes in store for the 2019 Q5, we expect these ratings to remain the same, unless the IIHS shakes up its testing processes.

Pricing and Release Date

The 2019 Audi Q5 is expected to begin production in late August. We estimate a release date this fall.

Listing exact pricing is also a bit premature at this point, but we don’t expect this carryover crossover to make any huge price jumps. This means it’ll likely remain close to the 2018 Q5’s price range, which is between $42,475 and $51,775 (destination fees included).

Competitors include the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, and the Jaguar F-Pace.
