FAST FACTS
"Skip the Q5 Sportback if you want to be sensible, because the regular Q5 is cheaper and slightly more capacious inside. You might consider it, though, if you like the styling and don't mind paying more for the pleasure. The Q5 Sportback inarguably delivers smooth acceleration and a sense of craftsmanship, but it's not an SUV coupe that stands out for being significantly more desirable than its mainstream sibling."—Ranked #3 out of 4 Compact Luxury SUV Coupes
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Audi Q5 Sportback that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The next-generation 2025 Audi Q5 Sportback 2.0T is broadly similar to its predecessor. On the powertrain front, you get the same pairing of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. The biggest change is the dashboard, which now hosts significantly more screen acreage than before.
Like the regular four-cylinder Q5 Sportback, the next-generation 2025 Audi SQ5 Sportback retains its predecessor's engine, in this case a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. The most obvious difference is that the 2025 SQ5 Sportback utilizes Audi's seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual, replacing the eight-speed conventional automatic used by the previous-generation SQ5 Sportback.
