The 2017 Audi SQ5 is a high-performance iteration of the Q5 midsize luxury SUV. This second-generation model hosts a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine, delivering 354 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive is standard, aiding in superior handling. The SQ5 comes in two trims - Premium Plus and Prestige. Both are laden with high-end features, such as leather upholstery, heated front seats, the Audi MMI interface, and a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. The Audi Virtual Cockpit is available as an option, introducing a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Standard safety features include front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and Audi's pre-sense basic, which prepares the vehicle for an imminent collision. The Prestige trim adds on the Audi Side Assist and the Audi Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go functionality.
