As you might expect from looking at them side by side in a parking lot, the Audi Q5 and the Audi SQ5 are two versions of the same small luxury crossover SUV. The SQ5 offers more power and some extra performance along with a few added luxury touches to help it feel a bit more premium.
Pros Impressively comfortable ride for a sport-tuned SUV Generous space for passengers Luxurious but restrained interior design Nimble handling
Cons Lack of touchscreen functionality limits smartphone integration usefulness
Thankfully, the Audi SQ5 is a lot more comfortable than most of them. Its standard adaptive suspension will let you choose between sporty or more comfortable settings, but the optional adaptive air suspension irons out bumps better than any other sporty SUV. It’ll also lower the car’s ride height at speed to make it more stable and you can raise it by 45mm if you fancy a spot of light off-roading.
Pros Very fast Great build quality Spacious interior
Cons Expensive options Diesel engine only Pricey compared to alternatives
The SQ5 displays great balance between driving dynamics and comfort, proving its worth in a competitive class.
Pros Numerous standard interior features, well-balanced ride, surprisingly fuel efficient.
Cons Passenger volume and cargo space is lacking, bland exterior design, falls short to its rivals in terms of performance.
The 2020 Cadillac XT6 takes a more family-friendly tack to the three-row crossover than the big Escalade.
Pros Evolved styling Standard automatic emergency braking Available all-wheel drive Smart Sport suspension tuning Supple, supportive seats
Cons Small third row Too far from Escalade in looks? Lacks SuperCruise, at least for now
The XT6 is an all-new model.Part of the first XT6 generation introduced for 2020.The 2020 Cadillac XT6 comes with front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 9-speed shiftable automatic.
Pros Delivers both good power and ride comfort Many active safety features are standard equipment Third row is roomy enough for most adults
Cons Minimal cargo space behind third row Driving experience feels disconnected
Looking to get into the three-row crossover game with something more nimble than the full-size Escalade, Cadillac has launched the XT6. Based on the same underpinnings as the GMC Acadia and the smaller Cadillac XT5, the mid-size XT6 is spacious and family-friendly. It has many of Cadillac's unique styling cues, including a front end that is inspired by the Cadillac Escala concept, along with upscale trim and different lighting elements.
