Overview
The Audi SQ5 is a compact luxury crossover that does battle with the BMW X3 M40i, Jaguar F-Pace P380, Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, Porsche Macan S, and Volvo XC60 T6. Last redesigned in 2018, it gets some comprehensive updates for the 2021 model year.
The 2021 Audi SQ5 gets the latest evolution of Audi’s exterior design language. That encompasses a larger main grille with a distinctive honeycomb texture, resculpted front and rear bumpers, new expressive headlights and taillights, and redesigned wheel options. Inside, changes aren’t quite as drastic, but you’ll find new infotainment and instrument panel interfaces.
The sole powertrain in the SQ5 is Audi’s turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, making 349 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It’s backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). To spice things up, Audi also throws in standard adaptive dampers and performance brakes. All of this culminates in a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds—an improvement of 0.4 seconds from the 2020 SQ5—and a tow rating of 4,400 pounds.
As before, the SQ5 comes in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels. The base Premium trim gets you 20-inch wheels, LED exterior lights, leather/Dinamica seats, and a new 10.1-inch infotainment system. Newly standard for 2021 is a power tilt-telescoping steering column. Premium Plus models add keyless access and start, driver’s memory, auto-dimming and folding exterior mirrors, satellite radio, a hands-free liftgate, heated steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, and a panoramic sunroof. Finally, the Prestige comes with matrix-design LED headlights, headlight washers, OLED taillights, heated rear seats, navigation, a heads-up display with traffic sign recognition, and a 3D Bang & Olufsen sound system. A Black Optic Package with black exterior trim, adaptive air suspension, a sport rear differential, cooled front seats, rear-window sunshades, Nappa leather with diamond stitching, and dynamic steering are extra-cost options.
On the safety front, the SQ5 is no slouch. It comes standard with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking front and rear, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a (federally-mandated) rearview camera. Optional features include adaptive cruise control with traffic-jam assist, a top-view camera system, and rear side airbags. The related Audi Q5 scored perfect marks for crash safety from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2020.
The 2021 Audi SQ5 is a passionate, performance-oriented crossover with improved styling, performance, and features.

Sporty, nimble, quiet and perfect size for us. New suspension handles irregularities in road surface and isolates shocks. Steering is phenomenal, as are brakes. Could not be happier with my selection of SQ5!

Is the 2021 Audi SQ5 reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, that means your biggest ownership risk is less about broad sentiment and more about finding a well-kept example with clean records and consistent maintenance.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Audi SQ5?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the history report carefully and confirm that the vehicle’s background matches the listing. Put inspection priority on signs of prior damage, uneven wear, and any condition issues that could affect long-term ownership. Focus on the specific example in front of you, since clean inventory is strong but not universal.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Audi SQ5?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.
- Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 264 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.05% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 83.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $29,650.72, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Audi SQ5's resale value?
The current average of $30,693 sits slightly below last year's $34,121.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can matter if you plan to sell later. A lower entry price today may help you buy more efficiently, but it can also mean resale expectations should stay realistic if the market remains soft. Strong condition and clean history will matter more when it comes time to attract buyers.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Audi SQ5 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.05% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the better choice if you want a model year with softer pricing, decent deal availability, and strong owner satisfaction. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on whichever one gives you the best combination of condition, history, and asking price.
