Why We Drove It: The Audi Q5 called a “Top Safety Pick” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the NHTSA says the Q5 receives 5-star crash-test ratings for frontal- and side-impact collisions, in combination with a 4-star rollover rating.
Initial Quality – Though the Audi Q5 is a 2009 model, it came to market too late in the year to be included in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study (IQS).
Performance and Design – Though the Audi Q5 is a 2009 model, it came to market too late in the year to be included in the most recent J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study (APEAL).
Predicted Reliability – The Audi Q5 is too new to have been included in the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which measures owner satisfaction with the reliability of a vehicle after three years of ownership. Based on the historical performance of other Audi models in our initial quality and dependability studies, the Q5 receives 3 out of 5 Power Circle Ratings for predicted reliability.
Fuel Economy – The 2009 Audi Q5 is equipped with a 3.2-liter V-6 driving all four wheels through a six-speed sequential automatic with manual gear selection. According to the EPA, the Q5 is rated to return 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, operating on premium unleaded fuel. Our review vehicle averaged 18.7 mpg in mixed driving. Combined with the Q5’s standard 19.8-gallon fuel tank, this actual fuel economy figure results in an approximate 365-mile range between fill-ups.
Safety – According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the 2009 Audi Q5 receives 5-star crash-test ratings for the driver and front passenger in a frontal impact, 5-star crash-test ratings for front and rear seat occupants in the side-impact test, and a 4-star rollover rating.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) calls the 2009 Audi Q5 a “Top Safety Pick,” because it received a “Good” rating in the frontal offset crash test, a “Good” rating in the side impact crash test, and a “Good” rating for rear impact protection.
Environment – According to the EPA, the 2009 Audi Q5 consumes 17.1 barrels of petroleum annually with a carbon footprint rating of 9.2 tons of air pollution per year. The Q5’s EPA air pollution scores were not published at the time this review was written.
