The Audi SQ5 3.0L V6 TFSI is a masterclass in aggressive refinement. It is not merely an SUV with a larger engine; it is a precision-engineered performance vehicle that has been "right-sized" for the modern executive. It bridges the gap between the raw, visceral energy of a track car and the composed, high-tech sanctuary of a luxury cruiser.

​The SQ5 is defined by its relentless 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine, a unit that breathes with a sonorous growl and delivers a massive 362–367 horsepower. By placing the twin-scroll turbocharger inside the "V" of the engine, Audi has virtually eliminated turbo lag. This results in a staggering 550 Nm of torque available from just 1,700 rpm, propelling you from 0 to 100 km/h in a lightning-fast 4.5 seconds. The latest 48V mild-hybrid technology does more than just power your idle stop system; it provides an electric boost of up to 18 kW and 230 Nm under heavy load, ensuring that the power delivery is always immediate and muscular, regardless of your gear or speed.

​This SUV defies the laws of physics through Audi’s legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system, which has been specifically tuned for the SQ5's performance envelope. The system can send the majority of its torque to the rear wheels, giving you the sharp turn-in and "pushed" feel of a sports coupe, while the standard Sport Adaptive Air Suspension constantly adjusts the vehicle's height and damping. It can lower the body for high-speed stability or raise it to glide over road imperfections with ease. The 7-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission offers gear changes in milliseconds, providing a seamless flow of power that keeps the engine in its "sweet spot" at all times.

​Step inside, and you are met with what Audi calls the "Digital Stage" , a revolutionary cockpit layout that places every control at your fingertips: The dashboard is dominated by a panoramic curved display consisting of an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit for the driver and a massive 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen. For the first time, an optional 10.9-inch passenger display allows your co-pilot to manage navigation or stream media without distracting the driver. The cabin is draped in Fine Nappa leather with diamond-stitched S-Sport seats that feature heating, ventilation. This is a space designed for "marathon" drives, supported by Acoustic Glazing that keeps the cabin as quiet as a recording studio. The 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System utilizes 685 watts to create a vertical dimension of sound, making you feel as though you are sitting in the center of a live orchestra.

​The SQ5 is a technological fortress, utilizing a sophisticated array of sensors that act as a 360-degree digital shield: Using forward-facing 4K cameras and radar, the Pre-Sense system can anticipate hazards before you see them, preparing the car for impact or initiating emergency braking with millisecond precision. The Matrix LED headlights and Digital OLED taillights do more than just illuminate the road; they can project warning symbols to other drivers and feature customizable light signatures that welcome you as you approach the vehicle. With features like Adaptive Cruise Assist plus and Park Assist Plus, the SQ5 can take over steering, braking, and accelerating in stop-and-go traffic or autonomously guide itself into the tightest parking spots using a high-definition 3D surround-view camera.

​The SQ5 is for those who refuse to settle. It offers a generous 520-liter boot and a 2,400 kg towing capacity, proving that a car can be a practical family hauler on Saturday and a spine-tingling performance machine on Sunday. It is the pinnacle of the Q5 range, a vehicle that doesn't just meet expectations but shatters them.
