- Pricing:
- Both the SQ5 TDI and SQ5 TFSI are priced at $119,084, benefiting from recent reductions due to changes in Australia’s Luxury Car Tax (LCT) thresholds.
- Model Variants:
- The updated SQ5 lineup will include both SUV and Sportback body styles, with the addition of a Dynamic Black package for those seeking a stealthier aesthetic.
- Performance and Efficiency:
- While fuel consumption figures have yet to be confirmed for the 2025 models, the last reported consumption for the SQ5 TFSI was approximately 8.7L/100km on a combined cycle.
The reintroduction of the petrol SQ5 TFSI is a welcome move for Audi fans in Australia, providing a powerful alternative to the diesel variant. With competitive pricing and impressive performance specifications, the new model is set to attract both existing fans and new customers.
As Audi prepares for the launch of its next-generation Q5 and SQ5 in late 2025, the return of the petrol variant offers enthusiasts an exciting option that combines performance with luxury.
