Already in the summer of last year, Audi revealed the most powerful version of the SUV Q5 , which received the traditional letter S. The catch was that there was only a diesel engine under the hood. Now the petrol SQ5 is also coming, but the European won't get it …
The SQ5 with a gasoline engine will be exclusively available in the following countries only: USA, Canada, Chile, South Africa, China, Russia, South Korea, Singapore, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Ukraine. And what do customers get here?
Above all , the design is almost identical to the diesel version . The front mask, mirror covers, sill extensions and rear diffuser are new. In addition, the SQ5 also has two exclusive colors – Estoril Blue and Panther Black and 20-inch wheels. The interior got a sportier steering wheel, leather seats and aluminum decor.
However, the main novelty is hidden under the hood! Here, the turbocharged six-cylinder 3.0 TFSI with an output of 354 hp and a maximum torque of 470 Nm in the range of 4000 – 4500 rpm beats. The sprint to 100 km/h takes place in 5.3 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h. The consumption of the car is not tragic at all – 8.5 l/100 km in the combined cycle is not the worst, as are the emissions of 199 g of CO2 per kilometer traveled.
In addition to the six-cylinder engine, the SQ5 will also offer an 8-speed automatic transmission in conjunction with a sporty chassis lowered by 30 mm and permanent Quattro all-wheel drive .
The world premiere will take place in a few days in Detroit , and of course the Americans will be the first to get their hands on the car, in the summer of this year.
