A NICE SIZE SUV

CAR SITS AT RIGHT HEIGHT ...NICE MEDIAN OF NOT TOO HIGH. THERE IS PLENTY SPACE. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH FOR AN SUV AND VERY QUICK WITH RESPONSIVENESS. IT SOUNDS GOOD AS THE EXHAUST CAN BE CHANGED. VERY QUIET CABIN .

Big mistake poor service

Had several q5s and was convinced by dealer to upgrade to the sq5. Big mistake. Car can?t handle speeds over 55mph. Starts to shake and hum. Terrible clunking sounds in cold weather. Horrible braking even in moderate conditions. Audi and dealership no help and frankly disconcertned with issues although they acknowledge the problem. I was a 15 year Audi owner. They lost me and everyone I know because of this.

BEST CAR EVER DROVE

Beautiful car with all the features anyone could ever want. SQ5 has diamond stitched leather seats as an upgrade option, well worth the few extra dollars. Interior design is plush and beautiful. Fun car to drive or ride in.

A real Sleeper. This car grows on you

This car is luxurious in its fit and finish. Rides like a dream. The driving dynamics are all German performance. I Love this car. Call it understated elegance.

Second S Model and love it .

Hated thr Jaguar F Pce and the Porche Macan S is over priced when you add in what the SQ5 has to offer. SQ5 drove better in my opinion.

Wow, what a blast to drive.

I love this Audi. I've had high performance cars in the past but they didn't have the room I needed. So I moved up to a mid sized SUV that thinks it's a sports car. The drove the Mercedes GLC43 and the BMW X3 M40i but they didn't check all my boxes. Nice to be sure, but the Audi proved the most fun to drive.

I LOVE my SQ5

I absolutely love it! I'm a "big" car girl, I never thought I would love a smaller car, but this by far is my favorite! I test drove all of the competitors, Porsche, Range Rover, Land Rover... and by far the performance, look and overall performance can't be beat!
