## Highlights

- 349bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged V6, 500Nm

## Is the Audi SQ5 big enough for a family?

For four adults, or two adults and three children, comfortably. The rear bench slides fore and aft, so you can trade legroom for boot space, and the load area is a useful square shape. It is a mid-size SUV rather than a large one, which makes it far easier to park.

## How quick is the SQ5?

62mph in 5.1 seconds, from a 349bhp turbocharged V6 with 500Nm. Top speed is limited to 155mph. It is no RS Q8, but it is quicker than most things on a motorway slip road and it does the job without the fuel bill or the deposit of a V8 SUV.

## What does it cost to hire an SQ5?

A refundable deposit near £2,500 and a matching insurance excess are typical, with 12,000 miles a year included and about £1.50 a mile beyond. All terms go in writing before anything is agreed.

## SQ5 or SQ7?

Seats and size. The SQ7 has seven seats and a 500bhp V8; the SQ5 has five seats, 349bhp and a body around 40cm shorter. If the trip needs a third row, take the SQ7. If it does not, the SQ5 costs less to hire, uses less fuel and fits in more car parks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the SQ5 petrol or diesel?

The car we source is the petrol V6, making 349bhp with a mild-hybrid system. A diesel SQ5 was sold earlier in the model's life; if that is specifically what you want, tell us and we will check what is available.

### Does the SQ5 tow?

It is rated to tow, but towing is not permitted on a hire without written agreement and the correct insurance in place. Ask before booking and we will tell you what can be arranged.

### How old do I need to be to hire an SQ5?

Partners typically ask for drivers aged 25 or over with at least five years on a full licence and no more than six penalty points. Criteria are confirmed for the specific car before you commit.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
