The Audi Q5 may not have a long lifespan, experts predict it will typically last between 150,000 to 200,000 miles. To extend the life of your vehicle even further, consider changing your filters. Over time, your car's oil filter and air filter can become clogged, so it's essential to replace them regularly. While these filter swaps are typically included in routine car maintenance, they are relatively straightforward tasks, especially changing an air filter. You may want to attempt it yourself and save some money in the process. Additionally, you can also prolong the life of the air filter by cleaning it.
2010 Audi Q5 SE diesel, now has over 340,000 miles and running great. Replaced the clutch once, a couple of timing belts, and had some other minor costs over time. This car is truly top-notch. Looking forward to hitting 400k miles next!
What? Audi cars are known to last a lifetime.
The Audi Q5 isn't built to go the distance, as experts predict it will likely reach the end of its road around 150,000 to 200,000 miles.
I have driven 200,000 miles in my 2009 Q5 without experiencing any problems.
In 2011, I bought an Audi Q5 with 63,000 miles on it. However, after 12 years, the car started having issues and needed $13,000 worth of repairs, which I couldn't afford.
I had to get my engine rebuilt at 156,000 kilometers because of issues with the piston rings. The repairs cost me $7000 for a 2010 2.0TFSI.
In 2014, a 2.0-liter Audi Q5 with 91,000 miles had $6,500 worth of repairs done to fix coolant and oil leaks.
In 2016, the 2.0 engine of my Q5 requires replacement of 2 piston rings or potentially the entire engine, costing around $9,000. I am currently undecided whether to proceed with the repairs or opt for a trade-in instead.
In 2014, the car had 86,000 miles on it. Since the warranty expired, $10,000 has been spent on repairs.
