What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Audi Q5?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the specific car you’re considering has a clean maintenance record. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a luxury SUV like this, since you’ll want to confirm that the drivetrain, electronics, and cabin features are all working as intended. Focus on overall condition, because premium features and comfort are a big part of the Q5’s value proposition.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Premium trim includes leather seating, heated front seats, and a 10-inch touchscreen, while the Premium Plus adds more tech and safety equipment. The Prestige trim brings the most upscale equipment, including matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated parking system, and a traffic sign reader.
• Powertrain: The Q5 is offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI forms, plus a 55 TFSI plug-in hybrid with 362 hp and 23 miles of electric-only range. All versions use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and standard Quattro all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. Premium Plus adds lane-keep assist, a surround-view camera system, and traffic jam assist, while Prestige adds matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated parking system, and a traffic sign reader.

Which 2023 Audi Q5 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Audi Q5 is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the entry point, and it already gives you leather seating, heated front seats, standard all-wheel drive, and the core safety and tech features most shoppers expect. It makes sense if you want the Q5 experience at the lowest price, but it leaves some desirable upgrades on the table.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value choice for most buyers because it adds a good amount of tech and safety equipment without pushing the price as high as the top trim. If you want the most balanced mix of features and value, this is the one to target.
• Prestige: This trim is for you if you want the most upscale Q5 experience, with matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated parking system, and a traffic sign reader. It suits luxury-oriented shoppers who are willing to pay more for the richest feature set.

Rear-seat side impact airbags are offered as an option on all trims.
