2025 Audi SQ5 Sportback FY UK Version

• The 2025 Audi SQ5 Sportback features a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine producing 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. 

• Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system and S-specific adaptive damping suspension enhance handling and ride comfort 

• The interior boasts fine Nappa leather seating surfaces, an MMI® touch display, and available Bang & Olufsen® sound system.

Sleek Outside, No Drama

From most angles, the 2025 Audi SQ5 Sportback looks like it hasn’t changed much — and that’s probably intentional. The sloping roofline is still the main event. That coupe-like taper keeps things athletic without getting overly flashy.

Audi’s Singleframe grille dominates the front, flanked by crisp LED headlamps. In the back, OLED taillights give it a sharp nighttime signature. Optional 21-inch wheels fill the arches well and make it look planted, not forced.

This is Audi staying in its lane: modern, confident, but not chasing every trend.

Powertrain That Still Hits

The mechanicals? Still solid. Under the hood sits a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 putting out 349 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. That’s good for a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds, which is right where it needs to be for this segment.

The SQ5 Sportback sticks with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. It’s not a track animal — it’s more of a balanced performer. Smooth on the highway, quick when needed, and composed through corners thanks to the S-tuned suspension with adaptive damping.

This is a crossover that does “fast” without making a big scene about it.

Audi Interior Hits All the Right Notes

Inside, it’s the usual Audi playbook — clean lines, good materials, and intuitive tech. The Nappa leather seats with diamond stitching feel properly premium, and there’s a nice blend of tactile buttons and digital controls.

A 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen runs the show up front, alongside the fully digital Audi virtual cockpit. There’s wireless Apple CarPlay, and for those willing to spend more, a Bang & Olufsen sound system that’s crisp without being over-processed.

Even rear passengers aren’t left out — heated seats and a panoramic sunroof bring a touch of luxury to all rows.

Where It Stands

In the performance-luxury crossover space, the SQ5 Sportback slots in just under the X4 M40i and AMG GLC 43 Coupe in terms of flash, but holds its own in execution. Audi’s always leaned a little understated — this one’s no different.

It’s not trying to dominate headlines. It’s just good at what it does: quick, stylish, well-made. For buyers who want performance in a slick SUV silhouette without the noise of full-on “M” or “AMG” badging, the 2025 SQ5 Sportback is still very much in play.
