• Spacious seating front and rear

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.
