Audi brings in its first diesel powered S model, the SQ5
Posted on 
Audi's popular SUV makes history as the Bi-turbo diesel engine with 313PS creates a new breed of 'S' model
As is typical for an S model, the interior is finished predominantly in black, but the headlining is optionally available in lunar silver. The power-adjustable sport seats are leather-upholstered as standard, complementing brushed aluminium inlays. Inlay options include Carbon Atlas, Piano finish and the new Aluminum/Beaufort wood black trim panels.
The 3.0-litre BiTDI engine powering the new SQ5 TDI produces a brawny 313PS and 650 Nm of torque between 1,450 and 2,800 rpm. Channeled through an eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and via quattro all-wheel-drive it is good for a 0-100 km/h time of just 5.1 seconds and a governed 248 kmph top speed, and sounds every inch an ‘S’ model as it punches at the horizon thanks to a specially developed sound actuator in the exhaust system which enriches the exhaust note.
Considering the number of diesels sold here in India, the SQ5 promises the perfect blend of fun, practicality and economy making it an ideal vehicle to bring to our shores. Audi, are you listening?
