My Audi sq5 is very reliable and sporty. Very fun to drive with lots of power.
Rattling noise coming from the trunk liner. I had to use double sided tape to fix it. The performance is great and the comfort is great also. The computer diagnostic is kind of slow especially when it comes to engine oil level. The Bluetooth connection is slow to connect when you first get in the vehicle.

Best car I have ever owned.
One of the best cars I have ever owned. Decent gas mileage as long as long as you keep it in comfort mode. Dynamic mode opens up a whole new experience to driving with great performance and steering capabilities like no other SUV. Filled with immense luxury because well it's Audi. Style and looks fit the part perfect car for those looking for practicality, luxury, safety, and performance all at a very well cost. Some might say it's an expensive car but I can say that for what you get in the long wrong it is an absolute steal.

The car is very sleek, modern, and nice and the inside is very spacious.
All together my car is the best. It is very sleek, clean, modern, and nice. It has amazing gas mileage and it goes from zero to sixty is 3 seconds. I have had this car for around 2 years and it has yet to cause me any problems. Filling up the whole entire gas tank is cheap which is always nice. The inside is very spacious and everything in the vehicle is easily accessible and I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a new one. It is a good investment and one hundred percent worth the price.

Great family car with lots of power.
My sq5 is a very reliable vehicle. I have 46000 miles on it and have never had a single problem. We have a family of four and we have plenty of room for weekend getaways. Gets good fuel economy with plenty of get up and go. It is very well appointed with all the safety features you expect.

2017 Audi sq5: a review from an Audi lover.
I love driving my 2017 Audi sq5. I bought it pre-owned with about 30,000 miles on it. Drive smoothly, does not make me car sick. I have dealt with issues such as tire pressure and having tires replaced within the first three months of having the car. Other than that, I love the panorama sunroof, the music system, and how I can lock my car with just a touch. Easy and fun to drive! I highly recommend.

My car is super clean and sweet.
Well sometimes I have problems with it flooding. It has trouble starting at times or rolling down the window to. It gets you where you need to go through. Traveling back and forth is never a hassle. It runs really well on gas. A full tank last about 3-4 days if you are only making like 10 mi trips.

Sporty luxury is the key to Audi.
I love the 3.5 liter supercharged engine, the comfortable seats, and the all wheel drive. But the radio problems are a pain! Audi is okay to deal with, but the maintenance is expensive and unneeded. I like gge crossover though, sitting higher up is nice.

Company doesn’t offer support
I have had this vehicle for 3 years now, while I like the car the engine light has been on and off (mostly on) for all of that time. I have had it in for service more times than I can count and they try to find a solution but haven’t been able to. Audi customer care has been contacted with no solution given other than ending my lease. I don’t have a lease, I own the vehicle, that’s how much they care about their customers, after supplying all kinds of info they requested they had no idea I owned the car. Thanks Audi, never again will I purchase a vehicle from you, and this wasn’t my first. No faith in this company.
