Audi Q5 2017

FROM
$17,600

The 2017 Audi Q5 range of configurations is currently priced from $14,999.

Our most recent review of the 2017 Audi Q5 resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: Like just about every SUV in the Australian market, Audi’s Q5 is up against some hot competition, including Range Rover’s new sleek and slick Velar. But it’s popular for a reason, with heaps of standard equipment for the money, a punchy drivetrain, and excellent dynamics. A full-house suite of safety equipment is the icing on the cake.

Audi Q5 2017 FAQs

My 2017 Audi Q5 is jerking when changing gears

While this version of the Audi Q5 uses a wet-clutch version of the dual-clutch transmission, failures and problems are not unknown. Generally, any shuddering or jerking in a DSG transmission suggest either worn clutch packs or a problem with the electronics that control the gearbox.

But it’s important to make sure that this is not an engine problem contributing to the jerking behaviour, so an electronic scan of the driveline is in order. This should help narrow down the potential causes and make diagnosis more accurate and repairs cheaper. The gearbox can be scanned, too, to check the operation of the clutch packs.
