2020 Audi SQ5
3.0T quattro Premium Plus AWD

$28,439
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!

For used buyers, that points to lower perceived ownership risk, but you should still focus on maintenance history and overall condition to avoid surprises after purchase.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Audi SQ5?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the history report carefully and prioritize any signs of prior damage, inconsistent maintenance, or incomplete service records. A thorough inspection should focus on overall condition, since the best example is the one that shows clear care over time.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Audi SQ5?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 269 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.97% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $29,646, 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 $29,836 sits slightly below last year's $33,891.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point if you plan to keep the vehicle for a while. For a future seller, the softer pricing means resale value may depend more heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained.
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:
- 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.97% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current pricing, decent inventory, and positive owner feedback, the 2021 is the primary year to target. If you're especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years to see whether a lower asking price outweighs the 2021's stronger market balance.
