Is the 2021 Audi Q5 a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The 2021 Q5 stands out because Audi added a plug-in hybrid variant to its top-selling vehicle, giving you an electrified option within a mainstream luxury SUV. It is also positioned as a polished, well-equipped choice with a classy interior, strong fit and finish, and a modern cabin layout.

Is the 2021 Audi Q5 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Q5 is described as a refined package with few major weak spots, and the plug-in hybrid setup adds a more advanced drivetrain without abandoning the model’s core luxury-SUV character. Its electrified powertrain is presented as innovative, and the vehicle’s overall quality and efficiency are part of its appeal. The plug-in hybrid also brings the benefit of battery-powered driving for short trips and commuting.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the added complexity of the plug-in hybrid system can make condition and maintenance history more important to verify before you buy.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Audi Q5?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The plug-in hybrid wears some S-Line trim pieces and enhancements, and it looks even better with standard 19-inch wheels or optional 20-inch wheels.
• Powertrain: The Q5 PHEV pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor and a 14.1-kWh battery, producing 362 hp and 373 lb-ft of torque. It can drive on battery power only for up to 31 kilometres depending on state of charge, and it delivers 4.7 litres-equivalent per 100 kilometres combined or 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres combined in gasoline-only mode.
• Safety package: Audi Pre Sense front, Audi Side Assist with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go and traffic congestion assist, traffic-sign recognition, Audi active lane assist, and hands-on detection are available. The safety equipment also includes six airbags, low-speed collision assist, a rearview camera, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
• Infotainment: You get Audi’s MMI 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus HD instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and OTA capability is not mentioned.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid is rated at 4.7 litres-equivalent per 100 kilometres combined, and 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres combined in gasoline-only mode.

Which 2021 Audi Q5 trim should I buy?

The 2021 Audi Q5 is offered in 2 trim levels: Progressiv and Technik.

Here's the short version:

• Progressiv: This is the trim to focus on if you want the plug-in hybrid Q5 at the lower entry point. It gives you the core electrified powertrain, the upscale cabin presentation, and the main technology and efficiency advantages that define this model year.
• Technik: Choose this if you want the more fully equipped version and are willing to pay more for it. It suits you best if you want the highest-spec Q5 PHEV experience and are prioritising equipment over price.

The safety package includes Audi Pre Sense front, Audi Side Assist with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go and traffic congestion assist, traffic-sign recognition, Audi active lane assist, and hands-on detection.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Audi Q5?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 210 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.85% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $27,243 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Audi Q5's resale value?

The current average of $27,388 CAD sits slightly below last year's $30,722 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the Q5 more attractive to used buyers today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment level than on broad market momentum alone. If you buy well now, you may have a better chance of limiting depreciation pressure later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Audi Q5 safe?

The 2021 Q5 PHEV hasn’t been rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) yet, but the 2020 Q5 (gasoline-only) received top “good” ratings in every category except headlights, where it received a “marginal” rating. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the 2021 Audi Q5 gasoline model five stars but has not yet rated the PHEV.

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

Safety features include six airbags, an anti-lock braking system with brake assist, low-speed collision assist, power child safety locks in the rear doors, electronic stability control with off-road mode, electronic vehicle immobilization, anti-theft alarm, interior motion sensor, LED daytime running lights and LED taillights, LATCH connectors on outboard rear seats, a rearview camera, and a tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Available driver-assistance features include Audi Pre Sense front, Audi Side Assist with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go and traffic congestion assist, traffic-sign recognition, Audi active lane assist, and hands-on detection to ensure you’re actively driving while using these additional systems.

Should I buy a 2021 Audi Q5 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Audi added a plug-in hybrid variant to its top-selling vehicle, giving this year a distinct electrified appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the Q5 with the added appeal of a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the 2021 model is the one to target. If you are more price-sensitive and mainly want the core luxury-SUV experience, a nearby model year may still make sense depending on the listing you find.
