I just had my Volvo XC60 AWD totalled by an impaired driver in Florida. There are no AWD Volvos here for replacement. Question: Is the "excessive oil consumption" issue a legitimate reason to avoid a 2012 to 2015 Audi Q5? Thank you in advance.

Every car has an issue or two. Consumption should have been rectified

First ( and last Audi) I have owned - Q5 TDI 2023- had to top up oil twice now and only down 5800 miles.
First car in last 10 car's over 20 years I have had to add oil between services

Tdi using oil? It was only the petrol model that had that problem. Yours may be one subject to the recall. (Metal fragments in the oil filter). Even so, get it checked.

Really, have had 3 Q5 tdi’s never had excessive oil issues what so ever

I have had Audi's of all flavours for over 40 years. I have always had to put between 0.5L and 0.75L engine oil in the first 1000 miles. After then no extra oil was required between services. This does assume that you run in the new car correctly.

Then I would be unhappy and looking for a garage that could fix the problem. A top end rebuild, valve guides, stem seals, rebore, new pistons and rings should cure. That is unless it is something really simple like excess crankcase pressure cause by crankcase pressure breather system being blocked.
