Full Review

The 2015 Audi SQ5 is a luxury crossover that belongs to the Q lineup. The S part of the name means that this car comes with a powerful engine. Like the rest of the vehicles in this lineup, the SQ5 delivers a stylish appearance and fantastic performance, with responsive acceleration and good handling. There are few crossovers that look so good, while also being extremely fun to drive.

When it comes to exterior design, the 2015 SQ5 is as much an Audi as you would expect – from a huge, trapezoidal grille to well-balanced rear with twin tailpipes. In other words, it's an elegant and beautiful car that looks just as good as the automaker's sedans and coupes. In terms of features, you get standard LEDs in the taillights and mirrors as well as optional LED running lights in the headlights, both of which add a contemporary touch to the vehicle. The Audi SQ5 has 7.9 inches of ground clearance, which means that it rides like an SUV, with enough prowess to handle snow and dirt. Fortunately, it's also low enough for you not to be frustrated by long climbs during day-to-day driving.

On the inside, the SQ5  is great, but we would argue that it's not on the same level as cars like the A4. That being said, it's still as stylish, spacious and comfortable as you would expect an Audi to be. There's a very big emphasis on technology this time around, which translates into lots of buttons and features. Leather is standard, but the classy wood grain is not – though we still highly recommend it. The three-zone climate control is standard as well and happens to be accompanied by Audi's MMI infotainment system. The latter has grown to be much more user-friendly, while delivering sharper graphics. Sadly, there are so many knobs and dials around the shift lever that you'd swear that this is a private jet. All the seats are roomy, including the rear ones, which fold in a flexible 40/20/40 arrangement to allow for more cargo room.

Under the hood, the SQ5 has a 3.0-litre supercharged six-cylinder that produces 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. It takes only 5.1 seconds for it to accelerate to 97 km/h, while its top speed is 250 km/h. Like the rest of the Q engines, the six-cylinder is connected to an all-wheel-drive system and eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. It also benefits from sports-tuned suspension.

Overall, the 2015 Audi SQ5 is one of the best crossovers around. It's powerful, good-looking and spacious, which means that the only thing that might get in your way of enjoying it is its high price – which is well beyond the $50,000 mark. However, if you have the cash, then definitely give it a look.

Interiors and Special Features:

Nobody does interiors like Audi, but you could argue that the 2015 Audi SQ5 family isn't quite up to the standard as cars like the A4, for example. That said, it's still elegant and comfortable. With an emphasis on technology and, by default, a bevy of buttons, the SQ5 comes standard with leather even on base models, and the 3-zone climate control will keep everyone comfortable. The knobs and dials surrounding the shift lever would look at home in a private jet, and the optional wood grain feels classy. The SQ5's roomy rear seats fold in a flexible 40/20/40 arrangement.

Safety features:

The SQ5 is at least blessed with good visibility. It has large side mirrors, and the rear seats don't obstruct too much of the view to the back, which translates into good outward visibility even without the high-tech solutions.

The SQ5 has all the usual standard airbags and stability control, to which it adds optional rear side airbags and standard all-wheel drive. Bluetooth is finally standard on all models, and blind-spot monitors are now an option on almost every version where they're not standard. However, the SQ5 still makes a rearview camera an option--and it's bundled in an expensive package only offered on Premium Plus models and higher trim levels.
