Passenger & boot space
How it copes with people and clutter
The SQ5 is just as roomy inside as the regular Audi Q5. That means there’s no shortage of head and leg room up front. For storage you get a large glovebox, a pair of cupholders, door cubbies large enough to each store a bottle, and a large centre cubby with a padded lid that doubles as an armrest.
In the back, there’s enough width for three adults to sit side by side, although anyone in the middle is forced to straddle a large tunnel that runs along the centre of the floor. The entry-level SQ5 has a moulding for the rear interior light that pinches some head room, but top-spec Vorsprung has a panoramic glass roof instead. The outer rear seats are much more accommodating if there are just two passengers in the back, offering loads of head room and a decent amount of knee room, even for those long in the leg.
