Third generation run alongside Jaguar and Porsche. As an all rounder it is the better of three, easier for a normal driver to extract equal if not better performance than the GTS, and will leave unsuspecting Turbo drivers red faced. Then when needed it turns back into a relaxing comfort car, perfect for everything from school runs to day trips. Interior is so much more classier than the in your face Jaguar which has a whiff of old man about it. Now the small niggles, Audi does not like to listen to customers but it does like to penny pinch wherever it can. Such a shame that the engineers create quality only for the new counters to dilute the product. Fairly easy to see where this last round of penny pinching mindless cuts have been implemented.

Very reliable. Fun to drive. Comfortable. My complaints: Safety feature which auto brakes when it senses danger is overly sensitive. Jerks car to a halt in nonthreatening situations. Brakes grind-Audi says that’s normal. I would get the BMW X5 next for a change.

UPDATE1: Over the past year I drove the Audi on two separate trips (Quebec and New England), and loved the drive. No issues over 10k miles. Zero regrets on the wheel/ tire change from 21” to 20”. Also added a Stage1 Unitronic tune. Amazing performance enhancement to an already quick vehicle. Bought this CPO Audi used about 6 months ago as a replacement for a 2010 MDX with over 200k mi. It is an extra vehicle to support a 196k mi BMW daily driver. It is also our four-wheel drive transportation for winter driving. It is an amazing vehicle all around (performance, comfort, style, gas mileage - between 25 and 28 on trips). The only gripe I have is the overly intrusive safety system that will break the car automatically when you are trying to take a "left turn" at a busy intersection. Although it can be turned off (must go into the menu on each start up) it's not convenient. I also swapped out the 21" high performance summer tires (defeats the purpose of winter use) with 20" all season tires. With the air suspension 'buttoned down", you do not give up any performance attributes.

I honestly don't know how Edmunds or C/D recommend Audi... I've owned a number of German, Japanese, and American-made luxury cars, and after reading Edmunds and C/D reviewers - I thought to give an Audi a try... So, last week I went and leased a brand-new 2022 SQ5 (~61K sticker). This was my first and last ever Audi or Porsche-made vehicle... My 22 SQ5 came with Premium trim with a Convenience package. So, I want to share my experience... In terms of overall ride quality and power, SQ5 is definitely better than Q5, on par with BMW X3 or JCW Mini, and better than Lexus. Overall, SQ5 reminds me of a slightly taller JCW Mini Clubman (about 5-7K cheaper), with crappier electronics, useless cup holders, and horrible customer service. 1. Do not install or register myAudi app/website, both are less useful than my 2018 MyFord app. The app registration requires a visit to a dealer, and once that is out way, one will need to make a few more trips to add any additional user (oh, and user-specific settings like seat position or station presets are not saved) -- so what the point? Actually, it is a known issue and Audi has no ETA on resolution... 2. Also, what Audi does not tell you, is that Premium trim does not come with ConnectPrime ($365/yr) or ConnectPlus ($499/yr), and owner cannot buy these packages. However, you will have the privilege to buy "functions on demand" ConnectPlus + Nav for a "small fee" of $900/yr. In comparison, MB or BMW, Audi's closest competitors, do come fully connected with easy-to-use and functional apps or websites... 3. Good luck to calling Audi of America -- as a very important customer, one will has a privellage to wait for over 90 minutes on hold listening to elevator music, and pray that system or operator won't drop you. Again, comparing Audi to MB, BMW or Mini - never on hold more than 10 min, even during the hights of the COVID... So, IMHO - instead of "Truth in Engineering", maybe Audi should adopt - "Lie in Advertising" or "Another German Auto"...
