Product Overview

Audi SQ5 (Typ 8R) is a compact crossover in production from 2013 to 2017. It was available with a range of V6 engines that displaced 3.0 liters. ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is AWD.
Interestingly, the SQ5 comes with either diesel or petrol engines, depending on the market. The Europeans get the more robust TDIs, while the rest of the world get the supercharged petrol engine (falsely marketed as TFSI) instead.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Audi SQ5 is hardly the "offroader" that Audi would like you to think.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi SQ5 I comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
