Highlights of the track-inspired SQ5 include its available front sport seats trimmed in Fine Nappa leather with a diamond stitching pattern. It also stands out with its Carbon Atlas dash inlays that add to its race-inspired look. When it comes to the Q5, drivers have their choice of a variety of eye-catching materials and amenities including natural wood inlays and brushed aluminum accents. Since they are built on an identical platform, both share identical interior measurements including 54 cubic inches of total cargo capacity and generous amounts of head and legroom across both rows of seating. Both also are available with a massive power panoramic sunroof, the award-winning Audi virtual cockpit, and both heating and ventilation functions for the front seats. In general, those searching for a race-inspired cockpit will feel right at home inside the SQ5 while others in search of a more contemporary look will appreciate the Q5 range.
