How much does the 2023 Audi Q5 cost?

Prices have softened 17.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 396 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable 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. They also like the stylish design and comfortable interior, while the quiet cabin and refined overall character reinforce its premium appeal. The main trade-off is that some owners are mindful of premium fuel costs.

From an expert perspective, the Q5’s sluggish initial acceleration is the biggest drawback, and the Sportback body style can be a pricier way to get the same basic package. Even so, the overview points to a small luxury SUV that balances sporty character with everyday comfort, which makes it a strong fit if you want refinement without giving up usability.

With 33.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still enough market flexibility to find a competitive example.

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

User feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers highlighting the Q5’s smooth performance and premium feel over time. The expert notes also describe sturdy build quality and a solid, well-finished cabin that feels appropriately German.

The Q5’s long-term ownership risk for used buyers is more about running costs than obvious durability concerns, so you should pay close attention to maintenance history and operating expenses.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The entry trim gives you leather seating, heated front seats, a 10-inch touchscreen, and standard all-wheel drive, while higher trims add more convenience and luxury features. The mid-range trim is the best-value choice because it adds a good amount of tech and safety equipment without pushing the price too far.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 201 horsepower, a stronger 261-hp version, or a plug-in hybrid with 362 hp and 37 kilometres of electric-only range. All versions use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and standard Quattro all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: The standard 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 top trim adds matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated park assist system, and a traffic sign reader.
• Infotainment: Every Q5 gets a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and smartphone app connectivity. Mid-range trims add Audi’s virtual cockpit, and higher trims can include a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The 40 TFSI is rated at 10.2 L/100 km in the city, 8.2 L/100 km on the highway, and 9.3 L/100 km combined. The 45 TFSI is rated at 10.6 L/100 km city, 8.2 highway, and 9.5 combined. The plug-in hybrid is estimated to return 37 kilometres of electric range, and once depleted it is rated at 9.0 L/100 km combined.

Which 2023 Audi Q5 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Audi Q5 is offered in 3 trim levels: Komfort, Progressiv, Technik.

Here's the short version:

• Komfort: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Q5 experience with standard all-wheel drive, leather seating, heated front seats, and the 10.1-inch touchscreen. It makes sense if you want the Q5’s comfort and refinement at the lowest starting point, but it leaves out some of the extra tech and driver-assistance upgrades found higher up.
• Progressiv: This is the best-value trim because it adds a good amount of tech and safety equipment for the money. You get features such as lane-keep assist, a surround-view camera system, traffic jam assist, and Audi’s virtual cockpit, making it the sweet spot for most used buyers.
• Technik: This is the most luxurious choice, adding matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated park assist system, a traffic sign reader, and available premium audio. It suits you best if you want the most fully equipped Q5 and are willing to pay for it.

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 is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 396 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.17% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,443 CAD, 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 $34,443 CAD sits slightly below last year's $41,581 CAD.

That softer pricing can work in your favour if you buy now, because you may be entering the market after a meaningful correction. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect resale values to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice rather than assuming the market will rebound quickly. Well-equipped examples with strong appeal should hold up better than plain or poorly maintained ones.

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 a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

Every Q5 comes with 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 top trim adds matrix-design LED headlights, a head-up display, a semi-automated park assist system, and a traffic sign reader.

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:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.17% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its attractive, upscale design, standard all-wheel drive, and the available Sportback body style that adds a coupe-like look without the usual space penalty.

The bottom line: The 2023 is a smart pick if you want a refined, well-liked Q5 and you can find one priced near the current average or below. If you are especially price-sensitive, the softer market makes this a good year to shop carefully and focus on the best-equipped example you can afford rather than stretching for a newer model.
