Used 2019 Audi SQ5 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2019 Audi SQ5 is a high-performance compact SUV that comes in three trims. The Premium model is very well-equipped for a base model, with tons of luxury and convenience features in addition to a handful of safety systems. The midtier Premium Plus model adds a few tech upgrades, while the top-trim Prestige doubles down on creature comforts. Every model is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (349 horsepower, 369 pound-feet of torque) driving all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard equipment highlights on the base Premium model include 20-inch wheels with summer performance tires, adaptive dampers, LED headlights and taillights, automatic wipers, heated mirrors, a power liftgate, roof rails, push-button ignition, steering wheel-mounted shift paddles, selectable driving modes, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and 12-way power-adjustable front seats (including four-way power lumbar adjustment), 40/20/40-split rear seats, leather upholstery with simulated suede inserts, ambient lighting, Bluetooth, Audi's Connect Care remote services, a 7-inch central display with Audi's MMI infotainment system, and a 10-speaker audio system with a CD player, two USB ports, HD radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Also included are forward collision warning, low-speed automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera and hill descent control.

The Premium's available Convenience package further adds a blind-spot monitor, keyless entry, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, driver-seat memory settings and satellite radio. It also includes sensors that can detect an impending rear collision and take action to reduce injury to passengers. 

The Premium Plus model includes the contents of the Convenience package, plus a panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, simulated leather-covered armrests, Audi's Connect Prime and Plus services (with a Wi-Fi hotspot), a navigation system, an 8.3-inch central display screen, Audi's Virtual Cockpit digital instrument panel, a touchpad controller with handwriting recognition, a wireless charging pad and rear USB charge ports.

At the top of the lineup is the Prestige model. It pulls out all the stops with automatic high-beam control, extra soundproofing, a color head-up display, additional ambient lighting elements with color selection, adaptive cruise control, a premium 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, lane departure warning and mitigation, a 360-degree parking camera, and an automated parallel and perpendicular parking system.

A number of packages are available for the Premium Plus and Prestige models. The Cold Weather package adds all-weather floor mats, a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. In contrast, the Warm Weather package adds ventilated front seats, upgraded leather upholstery and rear window shades. The Black Optic package swaps out some of the SQ5's silver-colored exterior elements with black trim and adds black wheels. Finally, the S Sport package adds a sport-tuned rear differential, red-painted brake calipers, and an air suspension system with adaptive ride-height and driving modes.

All-season tires are a no-cost option throughout the model range. Other options include 21-inch wheels with summer tires, rear side airbags, diamond-stitched leather upholstery and variable-ratio steering.

Which SQ5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

There are a ton of high-tech features available on the Premium Plus and Prestige models, but most aren't must-haves. Our money is on the new base Premium model, which includes a ton of creature comforts and tech items for a reasonable price. We think the Convenience package is worth the negligible cost for the blind-spot monitor and other upgrades.
