What's New for 2025?
Redesigned for 2025, the new SQ5 largely carries over the outgoing model's turbo V6 engine, although it gets modest boosts of 13 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque. The driving character changes somewhat, however, due to the seven-speed automated manual transmission, which replaces the previous generation's eight-speed conventional auto.

Like the regular four-cylinder Q5, the next-generation 2025 Audi SQ5 retains its predecessor's engine, in this case a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6.
