Audi Q5 i: A Decade of S-Line Excellence & Fuel Economy Questions
This S-Line Audi Q5 has logged 120,000 km over ten years of ownership. The S-Line package offers a great visual appeal and comfortable seats with the signature logo. However, the fuel consumption on the highway, exceeding 8 liters/100km at speeds up to 130 km/h, isn't ideal. I'm unsure where the reviews claiming low fuel economy with its permanent all-wheel drive come from. Previously, I owned a Q5 with 140 HP but without the S-Line package, which had over 200,000 km. The difference in handling, suspension, and acceleration is noticeable.
Pros:
Striking S-Line visual design, Comfortable S-Line branded seats, Noticeably improved handling and acceleration compared to a non-S-Line model
Cons:
Higher than ideal highway fuel consumption above 8L/100km, Discrepancy with reported low fuel economy

Q5 i: A Reliable and Enjoyable SUV
A great car, my unit has been very reliable. I previously read about 3.0 TDI engine issues, but in almost 2 years, I've experienced none. I change oil and filters every 10,000 km and automatic transmission oil every 50-60,000 km, which likely prevents issues. The gearbox shifts smoothly and quickly. The engine map is around 300hp and has been trouble-free since the start. It's a successful car, and I'm a satisfied owner. It's a bit stiff but more comfortable than the A4 B8.
Pros:
Very reliable, Smooth and fast gearbox, Comfortable for an SUV, Good engine performance
Cons:
Slightly stiff ride

Problem: Brake Caliper
Perfect size, smooth and powerful engine, quality interior. Absurd oil consumption after 100,000 km, very exposed bodywork. S Tronic 7 gearbox replaced at 20,000 km (sudden failure, a 'clunk' when shifting to 7th at 100 km/h then everything stopped...). Monstrous oil consumption since I passed 100,000 km, no oil consumption before that. Brake discs replaced at 107,000.
