Summary
With 988 currently listed for sale and an average price of $11,467, 34.2% of 2016 Audi Q5s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Audi Q5 4.7 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2016 Audi Q5 stands out as a luxury SUV that emphasizes refinement, quality, and everyday usefulness more than flash. It has a roomy, beautifully built interior and a real feeling of solidity and smoothness, which helps explain why it has long appealed to buyers who want a premium vehicle that feels substantial on the road. Standard all-wheel drive and a well-equipped cabin reinforce that upscale character, while the model’s practicality makes it easy to live with.
For 2016, the Q5 was part of the first generation and came with a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 engine after the earlier 3.2-liter V6 had been replaced. The trim structure was straightforward, with Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige versions, and even the entry-level model included features such as interior wood inlays, electrically adjustable front seats, sliding rear seats, leather upholstery, LED taillights, and three-zone climate control. Higher trims added conveniences like a power tailgate, heated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and satellite navigation, while the SQ5 sat apart as the performance-oriented choice with sport suspension and quad exhaust outlets.
The main tradeoff is that the Q5 is not the most adventurous choice in its class. Its styling is conservative, and reliability concerns have included excessive oil consumption and failing timing chains on some first-generation models, with panoramic sunroof and suspension issues also noted. Even so, the 2016 Audi Q5 remains appealing because it delivers the polished feel, strong standard equipment, and upscale interior that many luxury SUV shoppers value most.

This car has it all. Immaculate attention to detail. Drivability. Easy access and parking. Amazing performance. And ultra reliability combined with the efficiency of a TDI engine make it one of (if not #1) the ultimate road going vehicles you can buy.

I ended up purchasing a 2017 Q5 and absolutely LOVE it! I compared it to a BMW X3, which was also a beautiful vehicle but for my business I need a slightly larger vehicle and the Audi Q5 is perfect. Plus I actually like the features more and the style. It drives like a dream!

Is the 2016 Audi Q5 a good car?
Yes — the 2016 Audi Q5 earns a 4.7/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its smooth driving experience, superb interior quality, and impressive performance. You also see recurring positives around spaciousness and premium features, which fit well if you want a luxury SUV that emphasizes refinement, quality, and everyday usefulness. With 34.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful shopping opportunity in the market.
Is the 2016 Audi Q5 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback highlights a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise for the Q5’s smoothness, premium build quality, and overall comfort. That said, used buyers should still pay close attention to maintenance history and condition, since long-term ownership risk can rise quickly if prior care was inconsistent.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Audi Q5?
At 61.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can confirm accident records, title status, and service history before you get too far into the process. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially for signs of wear in the suspension, sunroof area, and engine-related maintenance. Focus on overall condition and documentation, because a well-kept example is likely to be a better long-term buy than one that simply looks clean in photos.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Audi Q5?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.
- Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 973 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.62% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 61.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,398, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 Audi Q5's resale value?
The current average of $11,462 sits slightly below last year's $12,824.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the Q5 easier to buy now but also means future resale gains may be limited if depreciation continues at a similar pace. For you as a seller, a well-kept example with strong documentation should still stand out, especially because buyers in this segment tend to value condition and premium feel. The model’s broad appeal as a refined, practical luxury SUV helps support demand, even in a softer pricing environment.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 Audi Q5 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 61.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.62% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest balance of price, owner satisfaction, and available inventory, the 2016 is the primary path to consider. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price alone.
