With some of Mercedes and BMW’s recent designs, I’ve been appreciating Audi’s evolutionary and conservative exterior aesthetic more and more lately. Excellent color palettes on many of their models, too, and love that this example still has the aluminum accents instead of a black optic package.

Always cool to see our wheels out in the wild!

I have a 22 SQ5 and it's a great car to live with. The performance is fantastic but it's also very comfortable to take on trips. It's very dynamic in that it can be a calm and comfortable cruiser in comfort mode with almost imperceptible shifts between gears but will give you hard kicks in the rear when in dynamic mode.

I love the fact that it's a prestige!! Thanks Tedward.

That green could well be one of the greatest colors I've ever seen. Wish my X3M was painted in it!!

I have never seen an Audi in a color like this in real life they're always grey or black or white

Had one as a service loaner in the same color. Beautiful color. That aside, a Macan S feels significantly different, especially the steering. Worth the premium if that matters.

Maybe s4 b8.5 with manual transmission next ???😬😬
Great video as always

I got to drive one of these, an earlier one with the same 3.0L supercharged V6 & DCT from the S4 and some APR goodies, and man, was that thing an absolute riot. The noises that the supercharger produced made Hellcats sound quiet. This thing would definitely be at the top of my list if I was in the SUV market.

We needed the stick of truth to confirm the fake exhaust tips

Absolutely GORGEOUS color and wheels, the chrome too. I love this

I was so sad to miss out on this one when it was on Cars n Bids last week

Got my wife … well I am SQ5 2018 and LOVE IT. love the cold starts in the morning… and in fully dynamic mode and sport it zips. Corners well and cruises smooth at HWY speeds. A little cramped for myself with two car seats in the back but usually the forward facing one behind me is fine. It’s dark silver with the Red Leather interior and carbon fiber it sweet. Also great in the winter in CO. We got ours in 2023 March with 30k miles on it I think ish for 35k. It’s the Premium Plus one owner.

my coworker drives one of these its really nice!

I live in SoCal and had a pair of Bosch wiper blades last 5 years on my MK7 GTI. The same exact blades only lasted a year before they turned to plastic on my Acura TL. There’s something to that little wiper movement that VAG products do.

I have a 2016 Sq5 Plus TDi in the UK, Its done 1000, 000 miles its looked after, its re-mapped to 400BHP and it is fantastic. There is no daily like it. I have had it for 5 yrs and cannot see what I would replace it with oh and 40 mpg . Gold dust.

Air suspension, AWD, lots of electronics, lots of complexity and out of warranty. What a dream 😄

[ronj]

Have a 2019 sq5 gray with red interior such an awesome car. Unfortunately a little too small with 2 kids now BUT keeping it for my fun car while the wife drives around the Jeep grand Cherokee L we got last week.
Let the mods begin 😊

You shoulda showed the ultra-squat mode by pushing the cargo load button in the hatch area 🤠
