Used 2014 Audi Q5 for Sale

What's New in the 2014 Audi Q5?

The 2.0T engine's output is up to 220 hp this year. And all Q5 models come standard with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, while all except the entry-level 2.0T Premium are equipped with keyless entry/ignition. The 354-hp SQ5 debuts for 2014, as does the Q5 TDI turbodiesel with its 31 mpg hwy. Also, the 3.0T and TDI are eligible for an S-Line Plus package that adds performance and aesthetic enhancements. 

Which Q5 is the Best?

If you're looking for the best all-around Q5, our pick is the new TDI model thanks to its stellar combination of torque and mpg. But if you don't mind taking a hit in the fuel economy column, take the fully caffeinated SQ5 for a spin. But be forewarned, you might not want to come back.

How Much Does a 2014 Audi Q5 Cost?

The 2014 Audi Q5 is offered in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Note that the 2.0T is only available in Premium or Premium Plus trim, the Hybrid comes only as a Prestige and the other three specifications (TDI, 3.0T and SQ5) come in either Premium Plus or Prestige trim.

The 2.0T Premium ($38,195) comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, LED taillights, a sunroof, leather upholstery, power front seats with adjustable lumbar, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, wood-grain interior trim, tri-zone automatic climate control (including a separate temperature control for the back seat), Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, the Multi-Media Interface (MMI) system with a dash-mounted control knob, and a 10-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input, an SD card reader and satellite radio.

The 2.0T Premium Plus ($42,095) adds xenon headlamps with LED running lights, a panoramic sunroof, a power lift gate, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry with push-button ignition, driver memory functions and heated seats. Notably, the 3.0T Premium Plus ($45,295) and TDI Premium Plus ($47,395) have some standard features that the 2.0T doesn't, including 19-in alloy wheels and S-line styling enhancements.

The Hybrid Prestige ($52,195), 3.0T Prestige ($52,795) and TDI Prestige ($54,895) step up to adaptive xenon headlamps, manual rear sunshades, a blind spot monitoring system, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and an MMI navigation system that includes an upgraded display screen, a console-mounted control knob with a joystick-like top and an extra SD slot.

Meanwhile, the SQ5 Premium Plus ($52,795) and SQ5 Prestige ($60,295) have 20-in wheels, unique exterior styling, quad exhaust tips, upgraded brakes, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, sport seats, exclusive sport gauges, aluminum pedals and a super-cool S shift knob.

Many of the higher trims' features are available on lower trims as options. The S-Line Plus package (3.0T and TDI only) adds 20-in wheels with summer performance tires, matte black roof rails and high-gloss black exterior trim. The Prestige trim is eligible for some exclusive upgrades, including a leather-trimmed dashboard, cooled front seats, adaptive cruise control and the Drive Select system, which provides electronic adjustments for steering, transmission and throttle calibrations.

Also available is Audi connect, which employs a 3G data connection to integrate Google Maps into MMI Plus. Additional Audi connect features include Google search with voice-command functionality, mobile Wi-Fi connectivity for up to eight devices and real-time weather and travel information.

Maximum cargo space is on the small side at 57.3 cu ft. And while the 29.1 cu ft of space behind the rear seat backs sounds ample, we've found it challenging to fit a couple golf bags into this relatively narrow cargo area. At least the Q5 Hybrid's battery pack is positioned so as not to compromise what cargo space there is.
