Audi SQ5

The Audi SQ5 is the performance version of the Audi Q5 compact luxury crossover SUV. The SQ5 TDI, which went on sale in the first quarter of 2013, was the first Audi S model to use a diesel engine: a twin-turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 developing 313 PS and 650 newton metres, with an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, reaching 62 mph in 5.1 seconds. A petrol SQ5 3.0 TFSI quattro rated at 354 PS joined it in the same generation. The later North American SQ5 uses a 3.0 litre direct-injected V6 with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, and a Sportback body was added to the Q5 and SQ5 range in January 2021.
