2026 Audi SQ5 Premium Plus

The 2026 Audi SQ5 is the performance-oriented version of the compact Q5 SUV, slotting above the standard model with more power and sportier tuning. Its rivals include the BMW X3 M40i, Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, and Porsche Macan S. The SQ5 accelerates with authority and its quattro system delivers grip that makes it feel planted through corners. Inside, the SQ5 offers a premium cabin with supportive sport seats, a large touchscreen, and generous cargo space for a compact SUV. The Premium Plus adds the adaptive cruise assist, surround-view camera, and Bang & Olufsen sound system that the base trim leaves out. Its 3.0L V6 makes 362 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, routed through a seven-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that delivers confident traction in any weather. The adaptive air suspension lets you soften the ride for highway cruising or lower the car for a sportier stance at the touch of a button.
