Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system comes standard, distributing power intelligently between all four wheels for confident handling in wet Pacific Northwest conditions — whether you're commuting through Kent, navigating the curves of the I-5 corridor, or heading into the mountains for a weekend trip.

Audi Q5 Premium Plus Features and Interior

The Premium Plus trim level is where the Q5 really earns its luxury credentials. Expect features like a panoramic sunroof, Audi's MMI navigation plus infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, heated and power-adjustable front seats, a power liftgate, and Audi's virtual cockpit digital instrument cluster. The cabin is well-appointed with refined materials throughout — soft-touch surfaces, precise fit and finish, and an interior layout that remains genuinely pleasant on long drives. Rear passengers enjoy generous legroom for a compact SUV, making this a practical everyday family vehicle as well.

Audi Q5 Reliability and Ownership

What Owners Say About the 2018 Q5

The second-generation Q5 — which debuted for the 2018 model year as a complete redesign — addressed many of the reliability concerns that dogged its predecessor. Owners consistently praise the smooth ride quality, strong powertrain, and the long-term durability of the drivetrain. The 2.0T engine has an excellent track record across multiple Audi and Volkswagen Group models. As with any European luxury vehicle, staying current on scheduled maintenance — particularly oil changes using the correct spec oil and attention to mechatronic components in the dual-clutch transmission — goes a long way toward trouble-free ownership. At under 100,000 miles, this Q5 is in the sweet spot where it still has significant useful life ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2018 Audi Q5 a good buy?

Yes — the 2018 Q5 was a ground-up redesign that brought significant improvements in interior quality, technology, and driving dynamics. It consistently earns high marks from automotive reviewers and long-term owners alike, making it one of the stronger used luxury SUV values on the market today.

How many miles is too many on a used Audi Q5?

For well-maintained examples, the Q5's 2.0T engine and quattro drivetrain are capable of reaching 150,000 to 200,000 miles. At 97,598 miles, this vehicle still has a great deal of life remaining — especially if service records are available and maintenance has been kept current.

What does the Audi Q5 Premium Plus trim include?

The Premium Plus trim adds significantly over the base Premium, typically including a panoramic sunroof, navigation, a premium audio system, heated front seats, power liftgate, and Audi's virtual cockpit. It represents the sweet spot in the Q5 lineup — most of the desirable features without the full cost of the Prestige tier.

Is the 2018 Audi Q5 good in rain and snow?

Absolutely. Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system is one of the most respected AWD systems in the industry. For Pacific Northwest buyers dealing with wet roads, rain, and occasional mountain snow, the Q5 handles these conditions with genuine confidence and composure.

Is a 2018 Audi Q5 expensive to maintain?

Maintenance costs are higher than a comparable domestic SUV, but not unreasonable for the segment. Using a trusted independent Audi specialist rather than the dealership for routine service can significantly reduce ongoing ownership costs.
