2017 Audi SQ5 0-60 time

According to Edmunds, the Audi SQ5 can get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in what feels like a heartbeat—5 seconds flat, to be exact. The SQ5 does the quarter mile in 13.6 seconds, and reaches 100 miles per hour in 13 seconds.
The 2017 SQ5 pulls off those numbers with a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that boasts 354 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. That is one hot German sausage.

Which Audi SQ5 engine is the fastest?

With the 2017 Audi SQ5, the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with 354 horsepower was the sole engine option for both the Premium Plus and the
Prestige
trim.
That being said, no other luxury car in its class—not the
Mercedes-Benz GLK Class
, the
CL-Class
, or the Jaguar XJ—could outrun the SQ5. The
BMW 7 Series
could pull even with it—but not ahead. So why mess with a good thing?

Can it beat the competition?

Can it? Or should you have asked “...by how much”? Because yes—the 2017 Audi SQ5 can indeed beat the competition. Only the Bavarians and their BMW 7 Series could match the SQ5’s 0 to 60 times.
Here’s how the rest of the Audi SQ5’s class stacks up in terms of 0 to 60 times:
Now of course, if you want the fastest luxury vehicle circa 2017, it's gonna cost you. Granted, it won’t set you back $54,000+, the MSRP when the SQ5 first rolled off the line. But a 2017 SQ5 in good condition won’t be cheap. It will cost anywhere between $34,000 to $38,000 on the used car market, depending on its condition and the mileage on its chassis.
