Introducing the new Audi SQ5 Sportback
As part of an updated and improved range of Audi performance cars, the SQ5 Sportback has made its return, and it is now better than ever. Featuring striking new looks, a complete arsenal of technologies, and a hearty powertrain, it is powerful in terms of both performance and looks.
Along with its sibling, the SQ5 SUV, Audi have made an aggressive move in the performance SUV market, with the Sportback being the choice if you are after a vehicle that looks the part, while also delivering on day-to-day usability.

Design and Practicality
Smooth lines, with definition in all the right places, the SQ5 Sportback makes a proper statement as a performance-oriented SUV. In-line with Audi's latest design language, it features eye-catching elements such as large alloy wheels, black accents, and Audi Sport details to complete a completely refreshed look.
Despite being a coupé SUV, it maintains a solid level of practicality, offering plenty of space inside for all occupants. Including the optional panoramic roof as part of your chosen features will also enhance your experience further, as additional natural light bathes the cabin.
It is a versatile vehicle too, with each of the rear seats offering adjustment in terms of angle and position. 470 litres of boot space comes as standard, but up to 1,388 litres of cargo space is available, when you drop the back seats.
Technology and Safety
Technology is yet another area where the SQ5 Sportback defies expectations. Showstopping 14.5-inch and 11.9-inch displays make up what is a tech-laden dashboard, fully equipped with the likes of Audi's virtual cockpit and self-learning AI assistant systems. You are also able to tailor these interfaces to perfectly suit your style, and can even connect your vehicle to your home through Amazon Alexa.
The interior utilises what Audi call a 'softwrap' design, to ensure unrivalled levels of luxury and comfort. Further optional technologies, such as a head-up display, adaptive air suspension, and a dedicated passenger display system complete what is a properly-advanced vehicle.
In terms of safety, Audi has equipped the SQ5 Sportback with a host of driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, steering intervention, and a surround view camera to provide peace of mind when out on the road and achieve a full 5-star rating in Euro NCAP's rigorous crash tests.
Engines and Performance
At the heart of the SQ5 Sportback lies a powerful 3.0-litre petrol MHEV engine that delivers 361bhp. This level of power output allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 4.5 seconds, which is no easy feat with a car of this size.
All variants come paired with a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission, while there are also a number of readily-available driving modes to suit almost any condition. The overall driving experience is further enhanced by Audi's famed Quattro all-wheel drive system, with power being distributed to each of the four wheels for optimal traction and performance.
This is not a car that is purely about performance though, as various features such as premium heated Nappa Leather seats and air suspension make it a perfect match for more refined driving styles, too.
