Audi SQ5 SUV TDI quattro tiptronic

2024 Audi SQ5 TDI quattro tiptronic.

This 2024 Audi SQ5 brings together the raised driving position and everyday practicality of a premium SUV with the focused character of Audi’s S performance range. Its six-cylinder diesel engine produces 251 kW and 700 Nm, while the 48V mild-hybrid system supports efficient operation. The combination is matched to an eight-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, giving the SQ5 a confident, composed foundation for varied road conditions.

The SQ5’s performance credentials are reflected in its 5.1-second 0–100 km/h acceleration figure, but the vehicle’s appeal is not limited to outright pace. Adaptive sport suspension with damping control is designed to provide a more controlled response, while the self-locking centre differential forms part of the quattro system. Together, these features give the SUV a purposeful character without compromising its practical five-door format.

Inside, the cabin combines sporting intent with a high level of comfort. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features contrasting diamond-pattern stitching, complemented by front sports seats, heating and four-way lumbar support. The driver’s seat includes electric adjustment with memory functionality, and the electrically adjustable steering column helps create a more tailored driving position. Black headlining, gloss-black accents, matt-brushed aluminium inlays and illuminated S-emblem door sills add visual distinction without overwhelming the cabin.

Long-distance usability is supported by a strong selection of convenience and technology equipment. A panoramic glass sunroof brings additional light into the cabin, while privacy glass helps create a more secluded rear compartment. The electric rear tailgate and convenience key simplify access to the luggage area, and the 520-litre luggage compartment provides useful carrying capacity for regular errands or longer trips. Rear passengers also have USB charging access and beverage holders.

The technology specification is similarly well considered. Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, Audi smartphone interface and an Audi phone box light support connected driving, while the Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System provides a more engaging audio environment. A head-up display presents key information within the driver’s line of sight, and the 360-degree camera system assists with manoeuvring in confined spaces. Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go and a distance indicator adds convenience in changing traffic conditions.

Safety and driver assistance equipment includes Audi active lane assist, Audi pre sense city, Audi pre sense rear and a multifunction camera. Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals improve the vehicle’s lighting capability, while the Euro 6e diesel engine and 70-litre fuel tank support its touring-oriented specification. Exterior details including 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels, aluminium-look mirror housings, aluminium roof rails, S model bumpers and a roof spoiler complete the SQ5’s distinctive presentation.
