The figures, translated
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Plan on about 38 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 12.6 L/100 km. That works out to about $22.05 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who the SQ5 suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Space and size
As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
Rent first, buy later: a week with the SQ5 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $220.50 at our price setting.
