New Audi SQ5 Quattro Overview | Should You Buy One In 2023?

Meet the new Audi SQ5 Quattro!

The Audi SQ5 TDI does what few thought was either advisable or possible, namely packing a 341PS diesel powerplant into a mid-sized SUV. Do you really need that much power? Not really. Would you like it though? You bet. It's not cheap but it does bring a welcome shot of sparkle to the Q5 line up.

Yes, it's an SUV. But it's an SUV unlike any you've probably ever experienced before. The key reason why lies beneath the bonnet. Tucked under here is a twin turbo V6 TDI diesel powerplant endowing this mid-sized 4x4 with phenomenal punch. In 2018, this second generation SQ5 was first launched in 3.0-litre TFSI 354PS petrol form, but in 2019, that engine was then replaced by the Electrically Powered Compressor-boosted 3.0-litre TDI mild hybrid diesel unit from the S4, here putting out 341PS. That's created a very credible performance flagship for the Q5 range.

With the SQ5, you have all of the practical aspects of a normal Q5. That means it'll quite happily do the family duties, commute in comfort, put in a performance at IKEA and be low key enough for you to happily park on the street without a worry. Yet somehow, this model still retains the ability to keep up with a Porsche Cayman sports car. Quite an all-rounder then.
