2018 AudiSQ5 Premium Plus For Sale

I've owned my 2015 SQ5 for 10 months. Found it on the lot of a Porsche dealer who took it in trade, it was a year old with 10K miles on the odometer so still under the full warranty. Great power and responsive handling, fit & finish is excellent. The only issue I have is that mine has the 21" wheels so all season tires aren't available. None of the tire manufacturers make a tire with a good tread wear rating so tires won't last longer than about 15K miles. I've owned a 5 series BMW and leased a couple of E class Mercedes-Benz, this vehicle is head and shoulders better than any of them.

I would say this has been a great car for me! Yes I modified it a little by lowering it, putting wider wheels & tires on it. Maintenance wise it has been excellent. I feel safe & secure in the car. All wheel drive is excellent in all conditions. As my family grows I find it to be a bit small especially with my active lifestyle. I put a rack on top & that solved a lot of issues. I am actually in the market for a new car larger is the only reason I might be changing out. I am definitely attached to this car. I feel as one with it as an extension of who I am. One reviewer stated there are not all season tire options for the 21" wheel option. That is absolutely not true. I have Continentals & I love them. Peace & Love!

The starting price of the SQ5 in the low $50's can get your attention when compared to like SUV's i.e. BMW X5 4.4, Mercedes ML 350 AMG, Porsche Macan S and Range Rover Sport SVR. Multiple tests from engineers has the performance figures varied and the under-rated stats from Audi has the 0-60MPH at 5.1s; in Launch-Mode I've had mine @ 4.672s But this heavy Tessie runs out of "oomph" above the ceiling of 90MPH where its competitor w/ bigger displacement and more torque push past this at 100mph. It takes roughly $30k++ more to beat out the everyday practicality of the SQ5 with the quicker Ute's like the X5M or Porsche Macan Turbo I've had my SQ5 {SQUID as we call it @ home)over 3 years now and have been very happy with it. Only normal maintenance like oil changes, 1 set of rear brake pads and a couple sets of rubber. The optional 21" wheels are an expensive luxury to have, as I have replaced 10 tires in ownership so far. Only one warranty issue from a overheated fuel pump (Las Vegas temps are tough in summer) Overall I am very fond of this vehicle. It replaced on '08 Audi S6 5.2 V-10. Comfort was just as nice in the seating, HVAC, and visibility. It is easier to get in than the S6 and is actually quicker to 60MPH! I only miss the growling V-10's grunt and strong pull over 75 and beyond 125mph - which has no purpose when getting a gallon of milk or loaf of bread. The Q5 is overdue for the refresh of exterior and interior; more importantly the technology. It should take on the newest of smartphone capabilities, navigation, driver assistance(s). It would be great to see an RSQ5 in United States!
