The 3.0 TFSI petrol in the SQ5 is designed for premium 95 RON fuel. Official combined figures sit near 34 mpg with CO2 around 189 g/km depending on wheel size. The 70-litre tank gives a useful range for motorway use. Real-world economy will vary with load and driving style but the quattro system and start-stop help keep consumption in check.
Servicing follows the on-board indicator, with a maximum interval of 19,000 miles or two years. The vehicle carries a three-year/60,000-mile warranty plus three-year paint and 12-year rust perforation cover. Regular dealer visits keep the LongLife oil and filters correct for this generation.
Safety is strong. The 2017 Euro NCAP test awarded five stars with high adult and child scores. Standard kit covers Pre-sense City emergency braking that works on cars and pedestrians, full ESC suite, front/side/curtain airbags, ISOFIX points, tyre-pressure monitoring and a pop-up bonnet for pedestrian protection. Hill-descent control aids steeper slopes.
Living with the car means checking the service indicator and keeping the quattro system and tiptronic gearbox maintained. The galvanised body and solid build help longevity. Optional packs add extra comfort items but the core safety and climate equipment is already generous on SQ5 and higher Q5 grades.
