Should I buy a used Audi SQ5 now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2024 model is at −12.86% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −7.99%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 35.1% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 37%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $46,217. The Audi SQ5 offers a sporty, premium driving character with a comfortable cabin and strong everyday usability.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: Audi equips the SQ5 with a sweetheart of a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. It produces 362 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque on premium fuel. The official EPA fuel economy rating is 22 mpg combined.
- Tech: Audi Digital Stage includes an 11.9-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus digital instrumentation display and a 14.5-inch OLED touchscreen for the Multimedia Interface (MMI) infotainment system, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Safety: Choose the Premium Plus trim, and Audi adds its Adaptive Cruise Assist technology, which pairs the adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist for highway use. The Premium Plus also adds a surround-view camera system, which helps to make parking easier.
- Starting price: Audi offers the 2025 SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels, priced from $66,095 to $74,295, with a $1,295 destination charge.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Love this car. Very nice upgrade from Q3 with the same German engineering.

I think this is an overall excellent vehicle. Even with higher mileage, it is stylish and reliable, and has all the German engineering one could ask for. Not to mention comfort. And power.

Overview
About the Audi SQ5
The SQ5 is a sportier version of the Audi Q5, the German automaker’s compact crossover SUV. It adds a more powerful engine, unique suspension, and other performance elements while maintaining the practical aspects of the Q5.
What are the advantages of the Audi SQ5?
- Multiple body styles
- Powerful engine
- Standard all-wheel drive
What is the best Audi SQ5 model year?
The SQ5 was introduced for the 2014 model year. A second-generation version arrived for 2018 and was heavily updated for 2021. That update included the addition of a Sportback body style in addition to the standard SUV body style.
What are the disadvantages of the Audi SQ5?
- Cramped back seat (Sportback)

Comparison: Is the Audi SQ5 better than the Genesis GV70?
The Genesis GV70 is the Korean luxury brand’s rival to the Q5, but while the two models overlap in price, Genesis doesn’t offer a sportier version to compete directly with the SQ5. The Audi will leave the Genesis in the dust on a twisty road, but the GV70 has a more upscale cabin and more options for buyers not purely interested in performance.
Is the Audi SQ5 a reliable car?
J.D. Power hasn’t published customer satisfaction scores for the SQ5 recently. The Q5 on which its based received a reliability score of 75 points (out of a possible 100) for the 2023 model year, but didn’t crack the top five in its category for customer satisfaction.
Is the Audi SQ5 worth the cost?
The SQ5 makes sense for crossover owners who want a bit more performance. It’s more exciting to drive than the standard Q5, but is otherwise just another crossover. So if you just want a nice, practical car, the cheaper Q5 is the better option.
