The New Audi SQ5 TDI meets the diverse needs of an SUV in everyday life while also delivering the dynamic driving performance of a sports car. It is equipped with a 3.0ℓ V6 diesel direct injection turbocharger (TDI) engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, producing a maximum output of 347 horsepower and a peak torque of 71.4 kg·m.

The exterior design differentiates itself from the base model with SQ5 badges on the front grille and rear. The single frame grille, side air intakes, window moldings, and front and rear bumpers feature a black package that emphasizes the sharp impression unique to the S model.
