Audi SQ5 SUV TDI quattro tiptronic

2024 Audi SQ5 TDI quattro tiptronic.

The 2024 Audi SQ5 combines the practicality of a premium SUV with the purposeful character of Audi Sport engineering. Finished in Daytona Gray Pearlescent, this used example is powered by a six-cylinder diesel engine with turbocharging, EPC and 48V Mild Hybrid technology. Its 251 kW output and 700 Nm of torque are paired with an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, creating a specification that is equally suited to relaxed touring and confident progress on demanding roads.

With 20,473 km recorded, the SQ5 presents a relatively lightly used foundation for its next owner. The diesel powertrain is complemented by a 70-litre fuel tank, while the mild-hybrid system incorporates start-stop functionality with energy recuperation. Performance is substantial, with a stated 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. Adaptive sport suspension with damping control is fitted to help balance the vehicle's sporting intent with the composure expected of a refined, long-distance SUV.

The quattro system uses a self-locking centre differential, providing the traction-focused layout that is central to the SQ5's identity. Exterior details reinforce its performance-oriented presentation, including S model bumpers, a roof spoiler, black exterior styling elements, gloss-black mirror housings, black roof rails and 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a five-V-spoke offset design. Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals add a distinctive lighting signature, while the panoramic glass sunroof and darkened privacy glass give the cabin a more open yet secluded atmosphere.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Fine Nappa leather upholstery with contrasting stitching in a diamond pattern. Front sports seats are heated, electrically adjustable and include memory functionality for the driver, with four-way lumbar support adding further adjustment. A black cloth headlining, gloss-black accent surfaces, illuminated S emblem door sill trims and colour interior lighting contribute to the focused, contemporary ambience. The electrically adjustable steering column and sport leather steering wheel with multifunction controls and shift paddles complete a driver-oriented layout.

The SQ5's equipment is designed to make everyday driving more comfortable and less demanding. A head-up display projects key information into the driver's field of view, while the 360-degree camera system assists with close manoeuvring. Adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go and a distance indicator supports smoother highway travel, complemented by Audi active lane assist, Audi pre sense city and Audi pre sense rear. Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, Audi smartphone interface, Audi phone box light and an Audi connect emergency call and service system provide a broad range of connectivity functions.

Practical details include an electric rear tailgate, beverage holders, a storage package, rear USB charging interfaces and a collapsible space-saver spare wheel. The 520-litre luggage compartment gives the SQ5 useful carrying capacity without compromising its performance-led character. Overall, this example brings together strong diesel performance, all-weather quattro traction, sophisticated driver assistance and a richly appointed interior in a compact premium SUV format.
