Drive a SQ5
The Audi SQ5 is the sportier, performance-focused version of the Audi Q5, powered by a turbo V6 and quattro all-wheel drive. You keep compact-SUV practicality — you just get there faster. It's a top pick when you're browsing Audi rental in Canada for an SUV with real punch.
On Turo, you book your SQ5 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Guests can find SQ5s in cities across Canada, so search your city to see what's available for your dates.

Turbo V6 power on demand
The SQ5's turbocharged 3.0L V6 makes 362 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, so power shows up the moment you ask for it. Audi tucks a twin-scroll turbo inside the V, which keeps throttle response quick and direct. Merging onto the highway or passing on a two-lane road takes a light press of your right foot — no long wait for the boost.
Quattro all-wheel drive, every season
Audi's quattro all-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, giving the SQ5 steady grip when the weather turns. A seven-speed automatic transmission handles the shifts, so you get smooth, quick gear changes on your commute or a scenic weekend drive.
That pairing helps the SQ5 feel composed and confident through Canadian winters, on snowy city streets and slushy highways alike. It's just as welcome in spring rain and on crisp fall mornings. Whatever the forecast says, you can enjoy the V6 with grip that matches its power — the SQ5 earns its keep in every season.
A cockpit built around you
The Audi virtual cockpit swaps traditional gauges for a digital display right behind the steering wheel. You can keep your speed, navigation, and other key details in your line of sight. That's a real help when you're driving somewhere new and want fewer glances away from the road.
The head-up display adds another layer, projecting essential information onto the windshield so your eyes stay forward. It's a smart setup for an SUV this quick — you'll know your speed at a glance when the V6 tempts you. Together, these screens keep you informed, focused, and firmly in the driver's seat.
Stand out with a SQ5
The SQ5 shines on trips where you want performance without giving up space. Book one for a weekend getaway to cottage country, a business trip, or a performance SUV test drive before you buy. Comparing options? Browse more luxury SUV rentals on Turo.
Top SQ5 features
Sporty S design
These three features make the SQ5 easy to pick out and easy to live with.
The SQ5 looks the part before you even start it. Its distinctive Singleframe grille gives it a bold face, and aluminum-optic mirror housings add a crisp accent that hints at the V6 underneath. It's a design that reads sporty without shouting about it.
You can also find the SQ5 in two body styles: the classic SUV shape or the coupe-like Sportback. The Sportback trades the upright profile for a sleeker look, while the SUV keeps a more traditional stance. Availability varies by listing, so check the photos and details before you book if you have a preference.
Room for real life
Performance doesn't mean giving up practicality. The SQ5 seats five and offers 27.6 cu ft of cargo space in the SUV body style. Luggage, groceries, and weekend bags all have a place to go.
That makes it an easy choice for a family visit, a weekend with friends, or an airport run with suitcases in tow. Everyone gets a real seat, and nobody has to hold a bag on their lap. You get the comfort and flexibility of a compact SUV with the pace of a sport model — a mix that suits busy weekdays and long weekends alike.
Towing ability
The SQ5 can tow up to 4,400 lbs, so it pulls more than you might expect from its compact footprint. That capability gives you options when your plans involve more than what fits in the cargo area.
Use it to haul a small trailer for a move across town or bring extra gear along for a lake weekend. Before you plan to tow, check the listing for towing equipment and any guidelines from the local vehicle owner. That way, you'll know the SQ5 you book is ready for the job. Strong torque helps here too — the V6 keeps its composure with a load behind it.

Top tips and things to know before renting a SQ5
Get to know your SQ5
The biggest difference between the SQ5 and an Audi Q5 rental is what's under the hood. The Q5 uses a 268 hp turbo four, while the SQ5 brings a 362 hp turbo V6. That gap shows on the road, too — the Q5 runs more than a second slower in acceleration.
If you need room for a bigger group, the three-row Audi Q7 adds a third row of seating. If you'd rather drive a sedan, an Audi A4 sedan rental gives you Audi refinement in a lower, classic shape.
SQ5 driving tips
Plan for premium fuel — the SQ5 runs on it, as Turo listings note. It's quick off the line, so keep an eye on posted speed limits, especially in town.
Set up the virtual cockpit before you pull away so navigation and speed stay in view. If you want to add another driver, make the change in the Turo app.
How much does it cost to rent a SQ5?
The cost to rent an SQ5 on Turo depends on location, season, and trip length. Prices vary by listing, so compare a few options for your dates. Discounts are often available for longer trips — if you need an SUV for weeks or months, explore long-term car rental on Turo.
