Which 2021 SQ5 Sportback trim does Edmunds recommend?

The midlevel Premium Plus is our pick for its elevated interior and swath of safety technologies you can't get in the base version. It comes standard with the Convenience package, which includes a heated steering wheel and other helpful features, plus softer surfaces throughout the cabin.
