The SQ5 Edition One is a special launch variant in the new-generation Q5 line-up.

It sits second from the top to the full-fat SQ5, as a more lean spec at a more appealing price-point.

Starting from $106,400, the SQ5 ups the ante bringing the six-cylinder 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 drivetrain back. This time it is paired to the same MHEV+ system which adds an additional 18kW/230Nm in the gearbox, and it drives all four-wheels via a seven-speed auto transmission.

Power is 270kW/550Nm allowing a 0-100km/h sprint time in 4.5 seconds. Thanks to its mild-hybrid assist, it consumes 7.6L/100km of premium unleaded fuel.

Standard kit includes 20-inch black metallic alloys, a black exterior highlight pack, red brake callipers, S-Sport suspension and privacy glass in the rear.

This is on top of the standard items which include matrix LED headlights, an 11.9-inch digital dash, and a 14.5-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, online connectivity with built-in navigation, an eight-speaker sound system, leather interior trim with brushed aluminium inlays, a wireless phone charger, 360-degree parking camera, power adjust and heated front seats, tri-zone climate, as well as keyless entry and push-start ignition.

The boot in all Q5 variants is 520 litres with the second row up or 1473 with them down, although none feature a spare wheel with only a repair kit under the floor.

The Q5 range is covered by a five-year and unlimited kilometre warranty, while servicing is most affordable when five years are purchased up front at $3560 ($712 per year) for V6 variants. Servicing is required once every 12 months or 15,000km.

Despite studying ancient history and law at university, it makes sense Tom ended up writing about cars, as he spent the majority of his waking hours finding ways to drive as many as possible. His fascination with automobiles was also accompanied by an affinity for technology growing up, and he is just as comfortable tinkering with gadgets as he is behind the wheel. His time at CarsGuide has given him a nose for industry news and developments at the forefront of car technology.
