About This Vehicle
The 2021 Audi SQ5 Prestige is the top-trim version of Audi’s sporty SQ5 SUV — a vehicle that blends performance, luxury, and everyday utility. Under the hood sits a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine producing 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, giving the SQ5 a 0–60 mph time around 4.7 seconds. Edmunds+2Zero Sixty Times+2 Compared with the regular Q5, the SQ5 is more muscular and performance-oriented: its adaptive suspension, sport-tuned brakes, and all-wheel drivetrain give it sharper handling and a more planted feel — yet it remains usable as a daily driver or family SUV.

Inside and out, the Prestige trim aims for refinement and comfort without compromising on tech or style. Standard features include a high-end 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, navigation, a head-up display, heated rear seats, and upgraded lighting (matrix-style LEDs and OLED taillights).

CarMax+2MotorTrend+2 All told, the 2021 SQ5 Prestige is a compelling package if you want an SUV that balances sporty performance with luxury-class comfort and practicality.
