Who buys a used Audi Q5?

The Q5 is Audi’s large premium SUV and a favourite with caravan owners: comfortable, with quattro four-wheel drive and a high towing capacity. The second generation (2017–2024) was popular as a plug-in hybrid (50 and 55 TFSI e) in lease fleets thanks to the low company-car tax at the time. That means a large supply of young, well-equipped examples.

Price depends on engine, mileage, options and tow bar. With the plug-in, buyers ask about electric range and the charging cable; since 2026 a heavy plug-in like the Q5 pays full road tax, which puts some buyers off. Euro 6 diesels remain popular with caravan owners. A Q5 with a retractable tow bar and air suspension draws extra buyers. Ideally sell a Q5 with a tow bar in spring.

FAQ about the Audi Q5

Is a Q5 plug-in still attractive now road tax has gone up?

For buyers who charge at home, yes. The Q5 TFSI e is powerful and frugal when charged daily. Full road tax on its high weight has been a substantial cost since 2026, though. Calculate it with the road tax tool.

How much can an Audi Q5 tow?

It varies by engine; diesels and powerful petrols usually tow around 2,000 kg or more, plug-ins less. Look up the exact figure in the RDW data with the plate check.

Is it better to sell a Q5 to a dealer?

It depends on your time. Private usually nets more, but buyers of expensive cars often want an inspection and negotiate hard. An auction quickly brings several bids from dealers and private buyers.
