Audi SQ5 Models

The Audi SQ5 is the performance variant of Audi’s compact luxury crossover SUV, first introduced in 2013 as part of the Q5 lineup. Built on the MLB platform shared with other Audi and Volkswagen Group models, the SQ5 blends everyday usability with S-line performance. Its styling is subtly aggressive, featuring unique bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and S badging.

Across generations, the SQ5 has offered a range of potent powertrains. The first-gen model was equipped with a supercharged 3.0L V6 producing 354 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque. This was followed by a turbocharged 3.0L V6 in the second generation with similar power but improved efficiency and response. Audi also introduced mild hybrid technology in newer versions to aid low-end torque and fuel savings. All SQ5s come with Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.

Signature features that separate the SQ5 from its Q5 sibling and other compact SUVs include:

• Standard quattro AWD system with rear-biased torque distribution.
• Available adaptive air suspension with dynamic ride control.
• S-specific Virtual Cockpit with performance display modes.
• Brushed aluminum interior trim and diamond-stitched leather sport seats.
• Dual-pane acoustic front windows.
• Advanced MMI infotainment system with haptic feedback rotary controller.
