2013 Audi SQ5 TFSI

Back in July, Audi announced the 2013 SQ5 TDI, which is the first S model in Audi’s history to bear a diesel engine. That’s all well and good, but what if you really want the new SQ5, but are not a big diesel fan? Well, then you will have to wait for the petrol version to debut. According to an electronic parts catalog, the SQ5 will also be offered with a V-6 gasoline engine, starting in May of 2013.

The catalog reveals that the SQ5 will receive a new supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine that will deliver a total of 354 horsepower — a significant increase over the current diesel version’s 313 ponies. The new gasoline engine will be mated to the company’s new eight-speed Tiptronic transmission and the obligatory Quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system.

We don’t expect to see big changes on the exterior of the vehicle, so it will most likely get the same platinum gray single-frame grille with galvanized double bars in an aluminum finish, modified bumpers, and a roof spoiler.

More details will follow shortly, so stay tuned!
