How does the Audi SQ5 feel during overtaking?

No, the modern Audi SQ5 is not available with a manual transmission; for the 2026 model year, it has transitioned from the previous 8-speed Tiptronic to a lightning-fast 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission for even sharper gear changes. For buyers considering the Audi SQ5, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
