2026 Audi SQ5 review: Quick drive

The Audi SQ5 no longer offers a torquey diesel, but it's the fastest it has ever been and also offers a sharply priced launch edition.

It won't arrive Down Under until later this year, but the new Audi SQ5 is bound to be a compelling option in the fast luxury SUV segment.

Audi's diesel performance SUV favourite now offers a coupe-like body style. Does the SQ5 Sportback TDI keep to the nameplate's core values?

Diesel is dead? At Audi, it's just getting started. The SQ5 TDI is a better car than the petrol it replaces, and a reminder of how good diesel performance can be.

Audi’s performance SUV returns to its diesel origins for the first time in a generation. But is the limited-run SQ5 TDI worth a look with a new version coming next year?
