How much does the 2023 Audi Q5 cost?

Prices have softened 5.85% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,094 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Audi Q5 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Audi Q5 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 7/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its luxurious feel, advanced technology, and smooth performance, and they also like the stylish design and comfortable interior. The Q5’s standard all-wheel drive, quiet cabin, and well-rounded everyday usability fit the small luxury SUV role well.

The main trade-off is sluggish initial acceleration, and the expert review also notes that the Q5 can feel slower than expected when pulling away. Even so, the overall package works well if you want a refined, comfortable luxury SUV rather than the quickest one in the class.

36.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Audi Q5 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a reliable, dependable, and trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers especially valuing the Q5’s smooth performance and upscale feel. The expert review also describes the Q5 as solidly built, with no squeaks or creaks over rough surfaces, which reinforces the impression of durability.

The Q5’s standard all-wheel drive and calm, quiet road manners also support the sense that it’s built for steady long-term use. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about basic dependability and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained properly and hasn’t been worn down by premium-car repair costs.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing higher-mileage examples or vehicles with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the technology and driver-assistance features work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin starts with leather seating and heated front seats, while a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats are available. The 10-inch touchscreen is standard, but the materials and overall presentation are less special than they once were, so base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to feature content versus price.
• Powertrain: The Q5 is offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI form, plus a 55 TFSI plug-in hybrid with added electric-motor power and an estimated 23 miles of electric-only range. All versions use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and standard all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. Higher trims add lane-keep assist, a surround-view camera system, and traffic jam assist, while rear-seat side impact airbags are offered as an option on all trims.
• Infotainment: Every Q5 gets a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range. Audi Connect Care adds remote functions and a Wi-Fi hotspot for a limited-time subscription, and mid-range trims add a customizable digital instrument panel.
• Fuel efficiency: The 40 TFSI is estimated at 23 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The 45 TFSI is also rated at 25 mpg combined, though its city figure drops to 22 mpg. The plug-in hybrid 55 TFSI is estimated at 23 miles of electric range and 26 mpg combined once the battery is depleted.

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 gives you the core Q5 experience with standard all-wheel drive, leather seating, heated front seats, the 10.1-inch touchscreen, and the standard safety suite. It makes sense if you want the Q5’s comfort and refinement without paying for extras you may not need.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value trim because it adds a good amount of tech and safety equipment, including lane-keep assist, a surround-view camera system, traffic jam assist, and a customizable digital instrument panel. If you want the most balanced mix of features and price, this is the trim to target.
• Prestige: This is the choice for shoppers who want the most upscale equipment, including matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated parking system, and a traffic sign reader. It suits you best if you want the most advanced convenience and lighting features.

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

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Audi Q5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 36.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,094 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.85% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,006, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Audi Q5's resale value?

The current average of $30,174 sits slightly below last year's $32,049.

That softer pricing suggests the Q5 has become more approachable for used buyers, which can help keep demand healthy if you decide to sell later. A lower entry price today may also make it easier for future shoppers to justify buying your vehicle, especially if it’s well maintained and equipped with desirable features.

Because the market has already adjusted downward, your resale outcome will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Audi Q5 safe?

The 2023 Audi Q5 earns five-star ratings for overall, frontal, and side protection from NHTSA, and four-star ratings in rollover tests. It also earns an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating with Good scores in all crashworthiness tests.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard safety suite includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. Higher trims add lane-keep assist, a surround-view camera system, and traffic jam assist, while the Prestige trim adds matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated parking system, and a traffic sign reader.

The rollover result is the main caveat to keep in mind, even though the overall crash-test picture is strong. If you want the most complete driver-assistance setup, you’ll want to look beyond the base trim.

Should I buy a 2023 Audi Q5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 36.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its attractive small luxury SUV character, standard all-wheel drive, and well-rounded mix of comfort and technology.

The bottom line: If you want a used Q5 with strong owner satisfaction, solid safety credentials, and a softer price than last year, the 2023 is a sensible choice. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can also use the current market softness to shop patiently and focus on well-kept examples with the right trim and equipment.
