8. Audi SQ5 – $ 53,625 (244 Km)
The 2015 Audi SQ5 is a faster edition of what was already a popular compact SUV. The Audi SQ5 aims to take it to rivals like the BMW X3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class by offering a little extra grunt in the form of a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. Rated at 354 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque, and featuring the brand’s signature quattro all-wheel drive, the SQ5 is the spunkiest SUV to have ever been built by Audi. A seven-speed automatic transmission assists the modestly-powered vehicle in its quest to surge past 60 mph in a respectable 5.1 seconds.
