Audi SQ5 Sportback TFSI 270 kW

The 2025 Audi SQ5 Sportback combines the elevated driving position and everyday usability of a premium SUV with the lower, more purposeful profile of a Sportback. Finished in Mythos Black Metallic, this example presents a particularly cohesive specification, pairing its dark exterior with a black and Steel Grey cabin and the visual details associated with Audi's performance-focused S range.

Its 2.994-litre six-cylinder petrol engine uses turbocharging and MHEV plus technology to deliver 270 kW, or 367 HP, while producing 550 Nm of torque between 1,700 and 4,000 rpm. That output gives the SQ5 Sportback a strong performance foundation without changing its fundamental role as a practical road-going vehicle. The published 0-100 kph acceleration time is 4.5 seconds, and the seven-speed S tronic transmission is specified as automatic for smooth, rapid gear changes.

Power is distributed through quattro all-wheel drive with ultra technology. This drivetrain adds useful traction across changing road surfaces and complements the vehicle's performance character, while the S sport suspension is designed to give the chassis a more focused response. The result is a specification that places equal emphasis on confident long-distance progress and engaging control when the road becomes more demanding.

The Sportback body remains a significant part of the SQ5's appeal. Its sloping rear treatment gives the vehicle a distinctly dynamic appearance, while the raised seating position and five-door format retain the broad usability expected from the Q5 family. The panoramic glass sunroof brings additional light into the cabin, with privacy glass helping maintain a more enclosed feel for rear occupants. LED headlights plus provide a modern lighting signature and support clear illumination after dark.

Inside, the listed upholstery is a leather combination with perforation and a rhombus pattern. Front seat heating adds comfort in cooler conditions, while the optional S interior with black leather sport seats reinforces the car's performance-oriented character. Carbon mirror housings, carbon micro-twill structure inlays and the black exterior package give this vehicle a more individual visual treatment. The optional 21-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels use a 5-twin-spoke-Y design with a silk matt grey finish and gloss-turned detailing.

Technology is centred around Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, the Audi Application Store and smartphone interface. A phone compartment with inductive charging function helps keep compatible devices powered without adding cable clutter. Audi connect emergency call and service with remote and control functions are also listed among the equipment, extending the vehicle's connected services beyond the central infotainment system.

Driver assistance equipment includes lane departure warning with emergency assist and a traffic sign-based speed limiter. Convenience features include a convenience key without Safelock, a luggage-compartment convenience opening and a Storage and Luggage Compartment package. Together with the panoramic roof, heated front seats and smartphone connectivity, these features make the SQ5 Sportback well suited to regular daily use while preserving the sharper design and mechanical specification expected of an SQ model.
