RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

After moving from a B7 RS4 to a BMW M3 saloon I've decided I want something a bit bigger and the SQ5 has really caught my eye.

Audi in Bolton have one coming in any day now and I'm going for a test drive this week, if I like it they've suggested around Sept for delivery of a new one.

Has anybody seen one yet, or better still driven one?

I'm also looking at the Q5 3.0 and the X5 Xdrive40d, however both don't have the same 'kudos' as the SQ5!

I'm waiting for a call back on a test drive, will update when I've taken one out

The SQ5 doesn't have 'kudos'. It's a diesel.

they do one with the 3.0TFSI too Amar.

so MRC stage 2 about 480 hp lol.

The diesel engine is still going to be awesome, that bi turbo isnt slow, i drove a A6 with this in and my god it Flew!

Nick with the RS3 has ordered a bi turbo A6 in suzuka Amar, comes by the end of the year.

Not in the UK they don't.

great.

I reckon it ticks a lot of boxes for a family car for my wife, and what I like about it is the 5.1 seconds to 60 and 650Nm
And that's out the box!! Chip it and its gonna shift

Had one overnight last week back and thought it really good - so now have one on order!

I had a RS4 B7 for 5 years and tried the RS4 B8 for a day too but it just didn't have the same appeal as the B7. It just didn't have the same feeling of involvement.

SQ5 doesn't have the raw appeal of the RS4 B7 but it is very quick. And the acoustic tricks make the diesel sound good. It also ticks the boxes for me in terms of space, 4wd and speed!

had run in one at the weekend and was impressed deceptivy quick and very flat for a big 4x4 yes it looks like a normal Q5 apart from the tail pipes quite a Q car has the wife now thinking trading in her beloved S3
