  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Generally considered reliable, but some owners have reported issues with the supercharger or oil consumption. Regular maintenance is key.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    As a performance-oriented luxury SUV, maintenance costs can be higher than average, especially for specialized parts or repairs.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The MMI infotainment system is functional but feels dated compared to newer systems. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not standard, which is a drawback.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The ride is firm but well-controlled, striking a good balance between sportiness and daily drivability. Seats are supportive, and the cabin is relatively quiet.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 3.0L supercharged V6 provides ample power and a satisfying growl. Handling is surprisingly agile for an SUV, with quattro all-wheel drive offering excellent grip.

2016 Audi SQ5: A Potent and Practical Performance SUV

The 2016 Audi SQ5 stands as a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of sporty performance, upscale luxury, and everyday practicality in the compact luxury SUV segment. Building upon the already capable Q5 platform, the SQ5 injects a significant dose of power and athleticism, making it a more engaging and exhilarating drive without sacrificing its core usability.

Highlights

  • Engine & Performance: At the heart of the 2016 SQ5 lies a potent 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine. This powerhouse delivers a robust 354 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque, a substantial upgrade over its standard Q5 counterpart. Mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system, the SQ5 offers brisk acceleration and confident handling in various driving conditions. The supercharger provides immediate throttle response and a satisfying surge of power.

  • Safety Features: The 2016 SQ5 comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to protect occupants and aid the driver:

    • Advanced Airbag System: Includes front, front-side, and side-curtain airbags for all occupants, offering multi-directional protection in the event of a collision.
    • Electronic Stability Control (ESC): This system helps prevent skids and loss of control by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power when it detects a deviation from the intended path.
    • Traction Control System (TCS): Works in conjunction with ESC to prevent wheel spin during acceleration, ensuring optimal grip.
    • Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.
    • Available Driver Assistance Systems: Depending on the specific package, the SQ5 could be optioned with features like:
      • Audi side assist: A blind-spot monitoring system that uses radar sensors to detect vehicles in the driver's blind spots and alerts them with a visual indicator in the side mirrors.
      • Audi pre sense rear: Prepares the vehicle for an impending rear-end collision by pretensioning seatbelts and closing windows.
      • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically braking and accelerating as needed.
      • Parking System plus with rearview camera: Aids in low-speed maneuvering and parking by providing audible warnings and a visual display of the area behind the vehicle.
  • Trims: For the 2016 model year, the Audi SQ5 was primarily offered in a single, well-equipped trim level, reflecting its position as the performance-oriented variant of the Q5 lineup. However, there were often optional packages and individual features that allowed for further customization and enhancement of the vehicle's capabilities and luxury appointments.

  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Sport-Tuned Suspension: The SQ5 features a firmer, sport-tuned suspension system that enhances handling and reduces body roll during spirited driving.
    • Distinctive Exterior Styling: The SQ5 boasts a more aggressive and sporty appearance compared to the standard Q5, with unique front and rear fascias, quad exhaust outlets, aluminum-optic exterior mirrors, and larger wheels.
    • Premium Interior: The cabin exudes Audi's signature upscale feel with high-quality materials, comfortable and supportive sport seats, and a driver-focused cockpit.
    • MMI Infotainment System: Audi's Multi Media Interface (MMI) provides intuitive control over infotainment, navigation, and vehicle settings.

What to Expect

Owning a 2016 Audi SQ5 typically means experiencing a potent and refined driving machine. The supercharged V6 engine delivers exhilarating acceleration and a satisfying exhaust note, while the quattro all-wheel-drive system provides excellent stability and grip. The ride quality, while firmer than the standard Q5, generally remains compliant enough for daily commuting and longer journeys.

Maintenance: As a luxury performance vehicle, the SQ5 will likely have higher maintenance costs than a mainstream SUV. Regular oil changes, fluid checks, and filter replacements are essential. Adhering to Audi's recommended service schedule is crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of the supercharged engine and complex drivetrain. Expect to budget for premium fluids and potentially more specialized parts as the vehicle ages.

Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2016 SQ5 are generally expected to be higher than for a non-performance SUV due to its higher horsepower, advanced technology, and premium brand positioning. Factors like your driving record, age, location, and the specific insurance provider will influence the final cost.

Potential Considerations

  • Ride Firmness: While the sport-tuned suspension enhances handling, it can result in a firmer ride compared to the standard Q5. Drivers who prioritize ultimate comfort over sportiness might find it a bit stiff, especially over rougher road surfaces.
  • Cargo Space: While still a practical compact SUV, the sloping roofline and sporty design of the SQ5 can slightly compromise cargo volume and rear headroom compared to more conventionally shaped SUVs.
  • Fuel Economy: The powerful supercharged V6, while offering impressive performance, is not the most fuel-efficient engine in its class. Expect to see lower MPG figures compared to its less powerful Q5 siblings or some turbocharged four-cylinder competitors.
  • Infotainment System (for some): While Audi's MMI is generally well-regarded, some users might find its interface less intuitive than more modern, touchscreen-centric systems found in newer vehicles. However, for the 2016 model year, it was considered quite advanced.

Overall Summary

The 2016 Audi SQ5 successfully merges potent performance with upscale luxury and everyday usability. Its supercharged V6 engine, quattro all-wheel-drive, and sport-tuned chassis create an engaging driving experience that belies its SUV practicality. While the ride can be firm and fuel economy is not its strongest suit, the SQ5 remains a highly desirable option for those seeking a sophisticated and dynamic compact SUV that offers a thrilling driving experience without compromising on quality or comfort. It's a vehicle that appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate performance without sacrificing the practicality needed for daily life.
