Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2019 Audi SQ5 in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Identify petrol 3.0 TFSI vs diesel 3.0 TDI — NZ-new supply includes both on later years. Check coolant level and look around the water pump for dried coolant on TFSI cars. Scan for pending engine, DPF and air-suspension codes. Confirm quattro and transmission fluid have been changed on a sensible interval, not 'lifetime'. Test all MMI functions, camera and digital instruments. Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2019 Audi SQ5 a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2019 SQ5 is second-generation FY, the car Audi NZ launched with the 3.0 TFSI V6 rather than the old TDI. It is quieter, plusher and still properly quick, with quattro and an eight-speed auto as standard.
