I had no choice. Had to take my end of year 2023 SQ5 with air suspension. I would have been down with the Premium Plus but Prestige was fine. I got $11k off MSRP but the dealer threw some of that savings back into their profit taking bullsh*t. I cool with it. This is the most expensive, powerful car I have ever owned.
it all comes down to personal preference. I used to have a sedan vehicle (a 2007 Mercedes E350) and made a switch to a SUV ( 2017 Hyundai Tucson at that time, and now I have a 2023 Palisade). Now I can't imagine myself owning a sedan again. Yes, you may get better performance out of a sedan but the comfort the SUV provides is better. So I may be biased when I say this but I would go SUV all day long. Hope this helps
In this parking lot I didn't have much choice actually. It's very tight and the way the cars are parked around, when filming, even with a little sun, it makes it very hard to properly expose the video, especially the interior. I film with a variable ND filter of course but the variation and difference in light (sun vs clouds) just makes it very hard to stay consistent and show the interior black detail of the car. I'm getting though to pay more attention to these things so I appreciate your feedback
Man that bumper/grill looks cheap. Reminds me of one of those pop-out plastic models I used to snap apart and assemble as a kid. I'm not too keen on the wheels either. Btw, any times somebody says, "you get used to it." it translate to a poor design. In addition, the tail lights being positioned on the lift-gate means a second pair will need to be added to the body to pass U.S. DOT regulations. Another design flaw. I was also very disappoint that Audi still locates the shifter on the center console, taking up valuable storage space. Most manufactures have move beyond that old-fashion design. The infotainment display is also relatively tiny. When compared to other cars in its class and below. On the bright side, I do so love the very luxurious seats that are sporty yet maintain a separate head rests, plus physical buttons, the black package, and the dual LED in the cargo. Its also a good thing that it has a true spare even though its a spacesaver) which is much better than the trend to delete it in lieu of a fix-a-flat
It definitely would be nice if it had the air suspension, but I'm not sure about the sport differential because it is an SUV afterall, and not a sports car so they're going for more "comfort" than performance. Thanks for your input though!
Do all the 2024 SQ5’s regardless of the package come with real exhaust?
Very nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
no one makes better factory rims than Audi and BMW. I myself, is eyeballing the. Q5 Sportback
Doesn’t need air suspension I love SQ5 it’s on my list of vehicles to get 🤷🏾♂️
It's definitely a very nice SUV!

It’s a nice feature. Especially if leasing
Should I get an SQ5 or an S4. Always owned S4’s never an suv

Tip: don’t film facing the sun, it makes it difficult to see you and the interior of 5he car…otherwise great job, nice car. Thank you

So many good points made! You definitely know more about this industry than i do so i just wanted to say thank you for your opinions. Very well said
How big a screen do you need? Cars are already rolling computers. I can do without a craptastic sea of plastic.
Not fully loaded, miss the air suspension and the sports diff

Not necessary dude
Fake exhaust 👎🏿
This one actually had the optional quad exhaust which is real.
