Audi has just released the first images with the new SQ5 Sportback TDI. The coupe SUV is equipped, as its name suggests, with a V6 diesel engine.

One week ago, the Ingolstadt manufacturer released the first images and information about the new SQ5 TDI, the performance version of the Q5, equipped with a V6 diesel engine. Now it's time to get acquainted with the Sportback version.

 

 

And it, equipped with the same 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine that develops 341 hp and 700 Nm of torque, enough to sprint up to 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h.

The standard package includes an automatic transmission but also a quattro all-wheel drive system. To be more environmentally friendly, the engine is accompanied by a mild-hybrid system.

 

That means low emissions but also more than decent fuel consumption for a 341-horsepower SUV. Audi declares an average consumption of 7.0 liters / 100 km.

If you've seen what the new Audi SQ5 TDI looks like then it's easy to imagine the Sportback version. The big difference is the plunged roof, specific to coupe-looking SUVs.

The launch is scheduled for the first half of next year and the assembly of the new SQ5 Sportback TDI will be handled by Audi plants in Mexico and China.
