Engine and Transmission

There is only one powertrain option available for the Audi SQ5 Sportback. Audi's 3.0-liter V6 TFSI mill, producing 349 hp and 369 lb-ft, powers all four wheels using the VW group's eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive. Free of any electrification, the quirky crossover doesn't fail to translate impressive straight-line performance characteristics both from a standing or rolling start. Although it only uses a single twin-scroll turbocharger, power delivery is responsive with a minimal amount of lag experienced. Despite being a partial Audi Sport model, the SQ5 Sportback doesn't match the characteristics of a performance car but rather a respectably quick crossover. The entire drivetrain has been tuned to be refined with a low amount of vibration and noise. The shifts are quick but lack any aggression, making the driving experience tame and relaxed as it blasts from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 155 mph on summer tires and 130 mph on all-seasons. It's a car that you'd be more than happy with on the open road rather than through an apex on a racetrack, making it somewhat of a polar contrast to both the X4 M40i and GLC 43.

2022 SQ5 Sportback Gas Mileage

The SQ5 Sportback's consumption is in line with other V6-powered models with EPA-rated figures of 19/24/21 mpg city/highway/combined. This is the same rating provided to the SUV body style. The BMW X4 M40i, producing more power but boasting an almost identical curb mass figure, bests this with its rating of 21/26/23 mpg. Using a twin-turbo configuration means that the GLC 43 is hamstrung in the fuel economy race as it translates to a poorer 16/24/19 mpg estimate. With its 18.5-gallon fuel tank filled to capacity with premium gasoline, the SQ5 Sportback is capable of an average of 389 miles before needing a refuel.
