2025 Audi Q5

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Q5.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2025 Audi Q5, equipped with an automatic (AM‑S7) transmission, enters its latest model year with 37 total owner complaints documented, most frequently relating to the electrical system and forward‑collision‑avoidance functions, and it carries a single recall. These complaints represent a continuation of a reliability narrative that has evolved over the model’s history from 2008 through 2026. The data show a pronounced decline, with the 2018 model year recording the peak of 197 complaints and the 2026 model year dropping to just one complaint. Consequently, the 2025 Q5 is positioned at the low end of its complaint trajectory, suggesting improved reliability relative to earlier years.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Audi Q5 sits in the middle of a decade‑long trend that began with a low complaint count in 2008 and peaked at 197 complaints in 2018, followed by a steady decline through 2025. Complaints fell from 197 in 2018 to 37 in 2025, while recalls remained relatively low—only one recall in 2025 versus 4–6 recalls in the surrounding years. Investigations have been absent throughout, and the single crash complaint in 2025 is lower than the average of 1–2 in preceding years. Electrical system and forward‑collision‑avoidance issues dominate the 2025 complaint list, yet the overall complaint volume is the lowest since 2012. Given the markedly reduced complaint and recall figures, 2025 appears to be a more reliable year than the peak years, making it a strong candidate for purchase.
