  • When the first Audi SQ5 showed up in 2014, it quickly become the SUV of choice for the family man who refused to give up driving fun when you were forced into a more practical SUV. The latest version replaces its old Supercharged V6 for a new turbo V6, gains a long list of new tech features, all while delivering the typical Audi refinement and quality you've come to expect from the brand. However, the SQ5 is no longer the only choice on the market and competitors from BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Porsche are looking to dethrone the SQ5 from its throne.

      RickReviews, that's a valid point. But I still believe they should have chosen a different design queue instead of something that ostensibly mimics exhaust tips.
