The sloping roofline and redesigned tail of the Q5 Sportback come with a €2,500 ($2,600) premium over the standard Q5

In the top SQ5 Sportback, the SUV uses a mild-hybrid 3.0-litre V6 TFSI petrol engine instead of a diesel unit. This unit is tuned to produce 362 hp of power and 550 Nm of peak torque. This power is transferred to the Quattro AWD using a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The 2025 Audi Q5 Sportback and its sportier sibling, the SQ5 Sportback, are set to go on sale in Europe in early 2025. We're still waiting for Audi to release specs and pricing for the U.S. models, but we expect those details to be announced in the coming months, with the Sportback variants reaching dealers sometime next year.
