Audi SQ5 is simply sensational
- ROAD TEST – AUDI SQ5
FEW would argue the toss if the letter S in Audi’s high performance models stood for Sensational.
That’s definitely the case with the German giant’s first diesel model to proudly display the badge.
It’s the new SQ5 sports utility vehicle – and a techno tour de force with serious attitude and sensible economy
Audi has already enjoyed huge success with the Q5 mid-size SUV, accounting for 44 per cent of sales attributed to the ‘big three’ German brands in this area of the market, and this high performance flagship version raises the bar – considerably.
It looks a million dollars, delivers a knockout punch on the road and in the case of the tested model featured 23 separate options which hiked the price by a princely £12,000.
In order to combine both power and economy, the SQ5 uses a 3.0-litre V6 BiTDI engine delivering a hefty 313PS of punch channelled through an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and via quattro all-wheel-drive.
The upshot is an acceleration figure of 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds and on to a governed 155mph top speed, while thermal management, Start/Stop and a regulated oil pump help the Audi return an official Combined 41.5mpg.
Audi says the best of all worlds ability is achieved with the help of two turbochargers. Combined with a sound actuator in the exhaust system the Audi snarls out an exhaust note reminiscent of a classic sports car.
With suspension 30mm lower than the standard Q5, the SQ5 also boasts 20-inch alloy wheels with black brake callipers for some extra menace to go with design touches like the platinum grille with aluminium-look double bars, the roof spoiler and quadruple tailpipes.
Inside, where there’s plenty of cabin space the fittings are finished predominantly in black as standard, though you can get a lunar silver headlining and various insert colours like black and red for the seats.
Explosive and empowering to drive with its flat-bottomed leather steering wheel and raised driving position, the SQ5 is comfortable, agile and fiery.
And when you want to fine-tune the feel there’s the Audi drive select set-up with Comfort, Dynamic, Auto and Efficiency modes accessed via the dashboard touchscreen.
Grey instrument dials with white needles and a 3D-design S badge, an S gear lever knob, S badges on the door sill trims, an engine starter button and an exclusive S design steering are all included.
Standard kit includes a 180-watt Audi sound system accessed via a Concert radio with 6.5-inch colour monitor and MMI operating logic, plus Bluetooth, cruise control, three-zone climate control, light and rain sensors and acoustic rear parking sensors.
