What's new
The latest model year of the Audi SQ5 remains mostly the same as the 2020-year version, only making a few small changes. Updates come to the infotainment system (adding wireless smartphone charging) and an exterior design refresh. The Audi SQ5 is a full carryover, otherwise.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
With the Audi SQ5, you will come across a twin-turbo V6 engine that churns out 349 horsepower. The engine features a mated eight-speed automatic transmission that offers smooth shifts. Sufficient power is provided by the engine in any driving situation, hence making this SUV more captivating.
In rugged areas, this vehicle ensures comfort and a smooth ride because of its off-road-oriented features, such as adequate ground clearance and the firm suspension that soaks up the ruggedness of the surface. Its unique braking system also doesn't disappoint with its sufficient stopping power, hence resulting in a self-assured ride, especially when traveling to JBLM.
Additionally, the handling feels well-composed on winding roads and around turns thanks to its crisp steering wheel that makes it maneuver easily even in crowded places like the urban centers.
Its fuel efficiency ratings are estimated to be 24 mpg on the highway and 18 miles per gallon in the city. Those are good ratings considering that the Audi SQ5 comes standard with the all-wheel-drive system. When properly equipped, it records a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,400 pounds.
