If you've been searching for a 2018 Audi Q5 Premium Plus for sale in Novato, California, your search ends here. Active Auto Sales, located in Novato in Marin County, has this beautifully equipped Q5 Premium Plus with Technology Value Package ready for its next owner — and at just under 47,000 miles, it represents an outstanding value in the luxury compact SUV segment.

About This 2018 Audi Q5 Premium Plus

This 2018 Audi Q5 Premium Plus with Technology Value Package — Stock #7994 — is a four-door sport utility with all-wheel drive, making it equally at home navigating the winding roads of Marin County and cruising Highway 101 through the Bay Area. With 46,878 miles on the odometer, this Q5 sits squarely in the sweet spot for used luxury vehicle shoppers: well past the initial depreciation cliff, yet with plenty of life ahead. The Premium Plus trim is one of the most popular configurations Audi offered on the Q5 — it hits the ideal balance between luxury content and value, without climbing into fully optioned Prestige territory pricing.

The addition of the Technology Value Package elevates this vehicle further by bundling convenience and driver-assist features that buyers in this price range often have to sacrifice. This is not a stripped-down entry-level spec — this is a thoughtfully equipped luxury SUV that was well-maintained and is now available at a competitive price point in Novato.

2018 Audi Q5 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Audi's proven 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. That turbocharged punch delivers confident acceleration from a stop and effortless highway merging — something Bay Area drivers will appreciate on routes like US-101, Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, and Marin's famously hilly terrain.

Paired with Audi's 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, gear changes are lightning-fast and nearly imperceptible. The dual-clutch unit is engineered for both efficiency and performance, offering a more engaging driving feel than a traditional torque-converter automatic. Combined with Audi's legendary Quattro all-wheel drive system, this Q5 delivers sure-footed traction in wet conditions — which matters when the Marin County fog rolls in and roads get slick. Fuel economy is competitive for the segment, typically returning around 23 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

Audi Q5 Features and Interior

The Premium Plus trim brings a serious list of standard features that set it apart from the base Premium grade. Expect Audi's virtual cockpit digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen sound system upgrade path, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
 

Technology Value Package Highlights

The Technology Value Package on this Q5 adds meaningful real-world upgrades that buyers frequently seek out, including Audi's MMI Navigation Plus system, the Audi smartphone interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and enhanced driver assistance features. The interior itself reflects Audi's commitment to premium materials — soft-touch surfaces, precise panel fit, and a driver-focused cockpit layout that still feels thoroughly modern in 2024.

Audi Q5 Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Audi Q5 represented a full redesign from its predecessor — moving to the MLB Evo platform shared with the Porsche Macan and Volkswagen Tiguan — and owners have consistently praised this generation for its improved refinement, more spacious interior, and enhanced technology integration. Consumer Reports and J.D. Power both scored this generation of Q5 favorably, and it has become a trusted choice among luxury SUV buyers who want European driving character without the anxiety of owning a notoriously unreliable vehicle.

At 46,878 miles, many of the higher-cost maintenance items remain in solid condition. The 2.0T engine in this application is well-regarded for durability when serviced regularly with quality synthetic oil. Audi recommends oil changes every 10,000 miles under normal driving conditions. Prospective buyers should confirm service history, which Active Auto Sales can help facilitate. Overall, owners of this generation Q5 report a satisfying long-term ownership experience with costs that are very manageable compared to some European competitors.
