Audi SQ5 Performance Overview
Audi’s SQ5 performance profile spans 2014 to 2025 in 7 verified tests, all from production vehicles, and tracks the model’s development from the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 8R era to the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 FY generation. In early Typ 8R form, output held at 354 hp, and the quickest recorded result came from the 2015 V6T Premium Plus at 4.4 seconds to 60 mph, backed by a 13.1-second quarter-mile at 104.2 mph. The 2014 V6T Premium Plus opened the record with a 5.2-second 0-60 run before that sharper 2015 result reset the pace.
With the shift to the FY generation for 2018, the SQ5 moved from supercharging to the EA839 turbocharged V6, with tested output ranging from 349 to 354 hp. Early FY results were slower, including the 2018 V6T Premium Plus at 5.3 seconds and the 2018 V6T Prestige at 5.1 seconds to 60 mph, before later examples narrowed the gap. The current-generation benchmark is the 2021 Prestige at 4.7 seconds, while a 2024 Prestige S recorded 4.9 seconds. Across the full sample, the SQ5 remains a gasoline-only performance SUV with a 0-60 range of 4.4 to 5.3 seconds and an average quarter-mile of 13.53 seconds at 102.4 mph.
