If anything, the Audi SQ5 Sportback looks far too conservative to be considered a performance car. Audi Sport-influenced highlights include the S line bumper up front and a unique rear bumper fixture housing a set of faux-quad exhaust pipes. The most definitive feature is its silhouette which employs a sharper C-pillar that replaces the SUV's hatch with a liftback, replete with a slim roof spoiler. 20-inch 10-spoke star design wheels finished in platinum are standard fitment but for $1,000, you can upsize this to a set of 21-inch five-arm-polygon design painted in silver. All trims get a panoramic sunroof as standard. While both Premium and Premium Plus models retain similar exterior features, the Prestige gets Matrix-design LED headlights, and OLED taillights with animation.
At 184.6 inches long, 65.4 inches tall, and 84.2 inches wide with a wheelbase of 111 inches, the SQ5 Sportback falls under the compact luxury SUV segment. These dimensions make it marginally smaller than the BMW X4 M40i and the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe. Oddly, the SQ5 Sportback weighs more than the SUV counterpart with a curb mass figure of 4,321 pounds, 33 lbs more than the standard model.
