Audi's S range expands with SQ5 TDI plus - AutoExpress

The original SQ5 was Audi's first performance SUV, and it was also the first S model with diesel power. The SQ5 TDI plus builds on this formula, with an extra 27bhp and an extra 50Nm of torque from its 3. 0-litre V6 bi-turbo diesel engine, bringing the figures to 335bhp and a colossal 700Nm of torque. The SQ5 TDI plus benefits from Audi's rally heritage with the quattro four-wheel-drive system. For the first time though the car benefits from a sports differential on the rear axle, keeping power evenly distributed between the car's 21-inch wheels. Despite all these sporting figures, the SQ5 TDI plus still offers impressive economy. While you're unlikely to see these figures when making use of the car's performance, a quoted 42. 8mpg is pretty good for a car with this much grunt under the bonnet, while CO2 emissions of 174g/km means road tax will cost £225 per year.
