When a luxury city SUV is equipped with a manic heart that can speed up your hormone secretion, it is foreseeable that it will become a two-faced cadre: it can drive leisurely on the highway like a drizzle, and it can also make those opponents who provoke it bow down with thunderous momentum. This calm switch between static and dynamic is the top personality pursued by countless men, and it is also the secret to deal with the fetters of family and career. As for how to embody it, in addition to cultivating your own internal strength, a car that can carry your character is also essential. Fortunately, German automobile manufacturers have prepared solutions for you, and Audi SQ5 is one of them.
The upgraded SQ5 didn't borrow 4.0T from big brother SQ7? V8 engine, but continue to practice internal strength on the existing basis. It is equipped with 3.0T? The V6 turbocharged engine, like the old one, has a maximum output of 354 HP and a peak torque of 500 Nm. However, due to the gear ratio of the 8-speed automatic transmission and the recalibration of TCU program, the vehicle's 100-kilometer acceleration jumped forward by 0.4 seconds.
SQ5 gives people the same driving experience as a hatchback. Excellent suspension support and excellent tire grip make it fearless when facing corners. The powerful quattro full-time four-wheel drive system calculates the power to be distributed by each wheel in obscurity behind the scenes, and you just sit in the cockpit and roughly step on the accelerator and tease it with the shift paddle. Even at high altitude, SQ5 will not appear obvious reaction lag, especially when switching to sports+dynamic mode, each foot can bring an accelerated impact from fist to meat, which does not give friends in the car a good look at all.
In addition to power and chassis, there is also a steering system that can stabilize your driving confidence. Fast and accurate is the best summary of it. Although to some extent, the four 2 1 inch big feet on SQ5 will have a negative effect on the control. But what about MLB after all? With the assistance of Evo platform, and the adjustment experience gained from Porsche Macan and Cayenne to Bentley Tim Yue and Lamborghini Urus, these problems are no longer problems, and it is right to give favorable comments.
SQ5 is also competent if it is measured by the standard of household SUV. Just like Q5, a precise chassis can smooth out small vibrations on most roads, and big bumps will be transmitted to you in the form of oil. In addition, the most impressive thing is its excellent NVH performance. With the help of sound insulation glass and active noise reduction system, in comfortable mode, the passengers in the car are like wearing noise reduction headphones, and they can be undisturbed whether it is windy or rainy outside the car.
Of course, there are also shortcomings, which can be regarded as a "stubborn disease" of the Volkswagen Group. The automatic start-stop system on SQ5 is eager to turn off the engine before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, which leads to the loss of power of the steering wheel, and the resulting jitter and noise also damage the quality of the whole vehicle. But this also allows the majority of Volkswagen car owners to develop a "good habit" of closing the automatic start and stop when they get on the bus.
Interior and Outdoor Decoration Review
The modified SQ5 follows the path number on A4/A5 to upgrade the interior: the screen is upgraded to 10. 1 inch, which supports touch. The system has built-in MIB 3 wireless CarPlay and Android? Automatic (overseas version). In addition, the response of the whole system is faster and the operation is more convenient.
Around the experience, there is also a full LCD dashboard with amazing visual effects. Unlike ordinary Q5, SQ5? UI style is more combative and more immersive; 19 speaker's top B&O sound can also produce a * * * sound that is with your soul. For example, the power interface that users care about, the wireless charging board of mobile phones and other configurations, SQ5 has also taken into account for you.
Coming to the back row, there is not much problem with the comfort and space of the vehicle seat itself. If only the filler could be softer. The overall atmosphere is also pleasant. Almost all hard plastics are cleverly hidden, and high-quality Napa leather and Alcantara suede materials can be seen everywhere. Coupled with the simple washing lines in the car, the atmosphere is both sporty and modern.
In terms of appearance, SQ5' s sense of exquisiteness and sportiness has undergone a qualitative change. Add more RS elements to it, so that Q5 won't be cut any more. A large area of blackened honeycomb grille allows you to feel its powerful gas field at first sight. The redesigned front and rear light groups have richer details and greatly improved recognition.
The probes all over the car body also show that SQ5 has more driver assistance systems, such as lane departure warning, adaptive low beam, automatic parking and so on. The lane keeping and full-speed adaptive cruise system can only be realized by option.
Written at the end: Excellent power and precise chassis, SQ5 is fully worthy of the $53,995. However, the basic configuration level is not high, and if you want to get a better experience, the price will naturally rise. Even so, the SQ5 is still worth buying for a simple reason: it is the model with the best balance between sportiness and comfort in this class, which can not only release the hormones that the driver has nowhere to put, but also make the mother-in-law or wife sitting in the back feel the value brought by an SUV.
