While you’ll find plenty to love behind the wheel of the latest Q5, it wasn’t designed with enthusiast approval in mind. On the other hand, the 2018 Audi SQ5 was. Packing the same TSFI V6 as the S4 and S5, it sprints to sixty in 5.1 seconds, with its 369 lb-ft of torque kicking in at 1,370 rpm up to 4,500 similarly. Rounded out by the interior space and appointments of the Q5 line, it’s a great blend of luxury, performance, and practicality.

As an S-line model, the SQ5 also comes with a sportier take on all of the Q5’s equipment. The standard Quattro AWD system offers a precise redistribution of torque between wheels to retain traction. When you have the S Sport Package equipped, a rear differential can route torque to any given wheel, while adaptive suspension lets you modulate ride height by 3.9 inches. Standard Drive Select also includes the ability to tailor suspension tunings, while prioritizing comfort for longer trips. For family friendly features, 60.1 cu-ft of cargo space, seating for five, and a panoramic moon roof round out the goods.
