What's New in the 2022 Audi SQ5?
Along with the Q5, the SQ5 stays pretty much the same for 2020, with re-shuffled packaging being the only real change of note. Automatic high beams are now standard, and a new Convenience Plus package adds wireless phone charging and front and rear parking sensors. The Driver Assistance package is now available on the Premium Plus trim. See the Audi SQ5 models for sale near you
Which SQ5 is the Best?
The SQ5 is a good option for anyone with a good chunk of change to spend on a fast SUV, but not wanting to shell out the extra coin for a Porsche Macan. The Premium Plus trim is the sweet spot for the SQ5 given that it offers good equipment at a relatively reasonable price. But most buyers will likely be tempted to stretch another few grand and get the Prestige with its extra features like a heads-up display and 360-degree camera system. If you like the look of the optional 21-in wheels, at least test drive that setup before taking the plunge, because they will affect ride quality. Find an Audi SQ5 for sale
