The fake quad tips made me want to claw my eyes out.
But if they had put real pipes then what would the sq7 had to offer!? 😂
Dumb question but why is it so hard to implement real quad exhaust pipes? is it because of emissions regulations? Surely all you have to do is get a double/single exhaust pipe and split it into 4 I don't get why manufacturers make fake ones
@@sams4mmmm because money. Having a bumper cut out is cheaper than adding metal/complexity to the exhaust end.
@@AllenSAshley money? First they charge you for unlocking a higher top speed and now they charge you for a sat nav how much more money could they want? No wonder Benz and bmw are rising above audi
I'll help you, then we can do my eyes😂

Car reviewers: climate controls should be physical buttons, it’s easier to hit when driving
Audi: Say no more
Reviewers: This car is missing the dual screens for climate controls
i hate screen controlled HVAC. Audi has come with a good middle ground imo.
Audi in Tyrese Gibson's voice: "What more do you want from me?"
Car reviewers are the worst group of people car manufacturers should listen to. They always complained about Lexus' trackpad but after Lexus adopted a touch screen infotainment, they're still complaining. Real customers are the people manufacturers should focus on
This car is unanimously endorsed by doctors and dentists 😂
Can confirm, I’m a doctor... of pharmacy... and I have an SQ5
Comment was already written on straight pipes video from a few weeks ago. Comment plagiarism
Hey bro that’s my comment, you literally copy/pasted it from the straightpipes video...it’s okay you can have it. 👍
@@MostlyAutomotive48 shut up
@@Smileydudekxy Where are u from, parcero?
These fake exhausts look extra lame in cold climate.
yup
💯
omg Ive reached a knew level of cringe... didn't think it was possible
All kidding aside, for Audi to place fake quad exhausts on this vehicle showcases just how lame the brand has become. Why invite this kind of criticism?
Yeah.
The fake exhaust tips are the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. The person at Audi who approved this should be fired.
I have an SQ5 with real exhaust tips and the only thing I’m jealous about with these are that they never turn black from romping on it
@@michieff Well anyone who will care enough to look at the tips will surely notice exhaust only coming out from under (not from, but UNDER) one set of them. People who truly don't care/notice that sort of thing wouldn't care if it just had one real tip. Not saying what you said is wrong, because that must be the mindset they have, but it's such a flawed one.
Hot pipes is an option for 2021 installed at the port or dealer
You can option on a real one
the interior isn’t very special or nice looking to me
The exhaust part was actually quite funny, wasn’t expecting that. They just glued 4 cylinders on the rear bumper 😂
It makes me sigh in annoyance, really. They would look good if they were real, but they're not.
@@adelaideautowashes you can get it with a real exhaust. but it's a $1900 option
This is so awful
@@PhilipMark84 jeez my mums 2016 sq5 has real quad exhausts which I was surprised they were real from the videos
@@PhilipMark84 what option?
I think the car looks really good imo, excellent high quality interior and great engine sound. Yes slower than a GLC43 or X3M but then again it’s 10-20k cheaper . Most people in the comment section complaining about an exhaust pipe that’s FULLY OPTIONAL. Get real, all these ‘enthusiasts’ who probably drive Camrys and Outbacks lol
I’m a big fan of Audi in general, but for 60 grand I’d expect more than fake vents, a fake grill, fake exhausts, no nav and the screen that’s just stuck on like an afterthought. I wouldn’t call it trash exactly but it ain’t good either. It’s no match for similar Mercedes and BMW’s
@@Ssshrugs Have you ever given a shit in real life about any exhaust? and looked closely at any exhaust in the public? 100% no one does that. You guys are completely ignorant and complaining about the wrong shit.,
You mean x3 m40i right?
@@Ssshrugs Doesn't the screen retract into the dash?
The fake pipes is, to me, just sad really.
Yeah don't buy an Audi.
it's a deal breaker. Really sad indeed.
They dared put an S on that???
you can spec it with real exhaust, most people don’t know that
@@-matt what’s the up charge on that? Seems silly to badge that as Sport and deck it out in fake vents 🤦♂️
Holy shit. The guy who approved the fake quad exhaust should lose his head.
You’ll have to tighten it for him
Not really, these things are done because cars are really expensive to produce because of the taxes on carbon emissions along with the regulations that make engine development so expensive, and trim aesthetics are far cheaper than cuadruple exhaust tips
The SQ5 (and many other bigger cars) are Diesels in Europe. A lot of customers complained about the exhaust tips getting really dirty over a short time (and not easy to clean), so they mostly avoid visible exhaust tips. My guess is they didn't bother to manufacture a completly new rear bumper + exhaust just for the NA market.
@@comeberza But at least don't fake them, leave the area without anything
I had a 2015 sq5 with "real" exhaust. The tips ended up pitted and black (bought the car used). However, even people who were meticulous with them still had similar issues. Personally I would rather have the fake tips on this than real ones. No maintenance.

Fake exhaust tips are basically the same as "Turbo" stickers.
Hey Doug, have you noticed the second set of tail lights are the "rear fog lights". They are incandescent bulbs so they don't freeze over and become invisible. Very handy for being seen in snow storms.
The designers of Doug's hair style have apparently taken cues from...a 6 year old waking from a nap😂

I think you’re in the Wrong comment section
Stick of truth 😂
I have been watching a lot of 2021 Audi Q5 review videos from other reviewers, and Doug was the only one to my knowledge that said clearly that the Q5 does not come with Navigation. Navigation is an option period. Thanks for being so clear Doug!
It used to be a $2.6k option for Navigation package, now it is a monthly subscription.
@@ilyakopyl No its not.....the navigation in every manufacturer is a package for standard duration of 3-4 yrs then its an annual subscription to the manufacturer for it.
Those "pipes" are one of the worst automotive head-fakes I've seen in a while…almost a deal-breaker for this ride.
Audi: Let's give customers "less" fake-looking exhausts. It had me fooled this time compared to the last one which looked totally fake.
The fake exhaust is to thwart suicide attempts. Audi knows it’s customers and their iq
@@macbook802 just like mercedes huh?
Yeah it has some depth to the 'fake' exhaust which can easily be mistaken for real holes if not observed carefully.
Why fake exhaust, why!?! This is a really stupid trend along with the fake intakes.
ჩუბინაშვილის
The one on the s63 is also fake just let you know
Fake grill fake fog lights no.navigation.
They do this to stop the build up of carbon or something on the exhaust, it usually turns the nice shiny Chrome exhaust black. Honestly the black exhaust doesn’t even look bad, looks like you blacked it out 😂
@Vq37 hr true, someone who is in the market for a regular crossover doesn’t care if the exhausts are real but this isn’t a regular crossover, it’s a S model from Audi so the buyer knows and acknowledges performance vehicles therefore wouldn’t like to have fake fittings on their “sporty” vehicle.
Is it just me that would like to see a review of that Geo Metro over yet another Audi?
Yes Me too, that Metro looks sick
And he did
The rear brake housings have new O-LED "plates" that allows users to change the way the rear lights illuminate. This is a new lighting feature that Audi is beginning to roll out in higher-end models. You should cover this as well, as i'm sure we will see it more often. Great video, as always!
This was a while ago but the new O-LED taillights are only on the Prestige model.
Well, here in Europe we get a Diesel SQ5 with horrible Fake Sound through speakers 🥲
DICTATOR MERKEL
@Teamgeist Those are diesel only now as well
I‘d rather have the Diesel Version. More Torque + less Fuel Consumption.
Angela Merkel grew up in communist East Germany.
The EU emission laws have gotten completely out of control. After the EURO 7 norm in 2025 it will be very hard for car makers to make money with combustion engine cars
How can Audi call that a real “S” model when it has a fake exhaust facade
It's the engine. It's the same as the Porsche Macan S, but Porsche put real exhaust on that vehicle of course.
So lame.
@@snakeeyes9246 I would get that car instead
you can spec the car with real exhaust, doug didn’t mention
Hot pipes is an option

Nothing screams luxury like no navigation, a big fake grille, fake fog lights, and fake quad pipes...
AND PEOPLE PAY ALL THAT MONEY
Those fake exhausts wouldn't pass through the Carwow *stick of truth* test
Depends on the stick
You can option on a real one
We just bought a 2023 Q5 TFSI 55 S-Line Hybrid and couldnt be happier. Its got a single muffler dual exaust but yeah the bumper fake is still there. 264hp 0-60 in 5 seconds. Its the first luxury suv (or car) that we have ever owned so its fun for us and still practical. Right now getting 34 mpg as well, small 43mile range for the electric though which could also be better. Overall we love it SO FAR....i say that cause we literally just bought it and havent driven it as much as we need to yet. And it came in at 60k and change
I drove the 2019 model for a week as a rental car, and frankly, I struggle to find any real upgrades over the outgoing version: the styling is about the same, the interior looks almost identical, no change in terms of power, and very little new tech. Not a very compelling argument to "upgrade" to the 2021 model if you ask me.
also you can get a low mileage fully loaded 2018 version for 40k, so yeah def no reason to buy this new one
When I saw the fake exhaust I said "I'm out"

The fake exhaust is the equivalent of adding racing stripes to "make the car faster"
Yeah but racing strips look cool even if they're on something slow
or putting a turbo badge on a car without a turbo...
@@ybergik I want to say that I haven't done this.....
I've done this
@@adamthompson4072 yea stripes make car more appeal but fake exhaust just why....... Stripes is just cosmetic while exhaust is an "engine part" not cosmetic whatsoever the original comment here is kinda off that what I mean
Red brakes are part of a Sport Package with air suspension and other mechanical enhancements. The black exterior features are part of the Black Optic package. It's an aluminum finish normally. The 21" wheels are an option above and beyond the standard 20" setup.
The tires get inflated at the factory to handle four adults and their stuff. They ride better when the pressure is dropped down for lighter use. It's in the manual. The 20 inch option rides great BTW.
I’m usually a fan of Audi design. Not impressed with the lack of functional design. They could’ve flared the wheel arches but they didn’t, could’ve installed dual exhaust but didn’t and then could’ve put on a full grill, but didn’t. It’s not an S Q5...it’s more like a Q5 with a cheap aftermarket S-line package slapped on
Totally agree. This is for people who think paprika is spicy
I can’t fathom why anyone would get the SQ5 over the RSQ3. Maybe size, but the RSQ3 is undoubtedly better in every single department other than practicality.
@@MrHu58 It's the haldex system though not the torsion system. I wouldn't want a SUV but that's basically the reason I have pretty much no desired for an RS3 over something like an S4.
@@sheldoncoffelt1891 however that Haldex system isnt bad so Im not sure where the hate comes from. I'm glad the RS3 is what it is. 400hp with a cheap price tag compare to a CLA45s that's close to a C63 price tag.
@@NBASFAN it's not permanent AWD with a rear bias so I'm not saying it's trash but it's generic.
USA: "compact" SUV
Rest of the world: huge and almost too big for cities

@Nick Fanatic not quite. In some parts of Africa you'd find a lot of US spec models. I live in Nigeria and I drive a 2003 Lexus GX 470.
Mmmm, so original! This comment is only posted 30 times on every video with a smaller/mid-size SUV. "I can't believe an American is classifying cars the way Americans do while producing content for an American website with a majority American fanbase!" "Shocking!" "It's the size of the Twin Towers!" Go watch some Euro content if you want Euro classifications. Oh, and maybe go look at a map of Siberia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and central Asia. "It's almost too big for cities!"
So is the Audi Q7 basically a European Chevy suburban?

It's really funny to see a car on this price :
Without navigation
Fake exhaust
Fake grill
Old interior design
Yeah, value of 6 was generous.
It has the new interior 10.5 touchscreen. The old was smaller it just doesn’t have dual screens which are reserved for the Q7 and Q8.
Wow! Doug, whenever I want to see a car reviewed by the best reviewer.... you. I always find it. Thanks for making the best car reviews!

Woof! After 3 Audi's (11' A4, 14' A4 and a 17' S3) I am happy I went with my X3 M40i over the SQ5. BEAST! Although, I do think Audi interiors are a bit nicer. The SQ5 really just lacked the raw power I was looking for.

Wtf, I was literally searching whether Doug ever made an RSQ5 or SQ5 video less than an hour ago, and now here it is 🤯
There is no RSQ5
Wtf for RSQ5? 😂 You probably ☕️
Wow. It's like the engineers didn't talk to each other until the very end. The body designer was working off plans from 6 years ago "whatdoyamean the wheels don't fit?" and the interior guy was all "cut, paste, done".
The lower set of lights in the rear are also functional as backup, if a regular rear light is broken.
Saw one shortly, that had one rear light on the tailgate working and the other side had the lower one working.
I think people at Audi were drunk when they approved the fake exhausts...literally
Doug, the windshield wiper adjustment is for the sensitivity of the rain sensing wipers not the intermittent adjustment you would see in traditional cars. My VW Atlas had rain sensing wipers and the adjustment was the same, you just set it once and let it do its thing.
Cars&Bids never get old...its always new website
Features which just aren’t specced in the specific car reviewed but are available to configure (like in this case missing navigation and cooled seats) shouldn’t influence the score (which I think they obviously do because he specifically mentioned them).
Noticed this a few times and I think it would be just fair taking this into account.
Could not agree more. If Doug can’t find a loaded example of the car, he sure as heck shouldn’t be docking points because it doesn’t have some options ticked. 🤷♂️
I asked my Audi dealer about the SQ5’s fake exhaust pipes, he acted like it was no big deal, but I made a big stink about it, was able to get an extra 2k for my trade in, it is a fun car to drive!!

@TableRocked sorry mate is my phone, i will correct that. Not easy to drive and text
I like the old fake exhaust. It was different and had a clean look. Love the hip flares and wave lines across the door panels.
I just turned in my leased white 2017 SQ5 last week . . . the last year of the previous generation. Really enjoyed that vehicle and almost bought it. I passed on getting the new one. The fake exhausts, the cheaper interior plastics, the loss of the amazing flat bottom steering wheel, the loss of the beautiful gray gauges, no more interior SQ5 badging . . . even the diamond stitch leather felt cheaper. Sure the tech is newer but its not all better. But most importantly, the previous supercharged motor felt sportier and more fun, ready to go at any time, even if it wasn't actually faster than the new turbo motor. The last generation felt special . . . the new one feels like just another Q5. So long Audi.
Anxiously awaiting the review on that Geo Metro convertible.
I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but you look just like a geo metro convertible driver.

Great vid
Take your SQ5 to have them do the Stage 1 tune. Totally worth it!
Does it include a cutback system my goodness
Really?
Audis are so underrated and understated. Some of the best luxury cars around.
Agreed
Except they're just like Apple phones. A lot of shiny features to hide cheap hardware.
No not really. They aren’t the fastest nor are they the best looking. They aren’t reliable really at all, and most of their cars are rebranded VW’s.
S and RS cars yes. The 2.0t/55 trim are generic. No different then the competition.
Understated? How are they understated? They have more fake exhausts, vents and edgy corners than hondas.
Doesn't have the dual screens? That's a plus to me. I have the 2017 Allroad which has the same climate controls and they are perfect. You can easily make changes without looking at them, huge plus.

This exhaust trend is just atrocious and why of all manufactures are the "performance/luxury" brands the worst offenders?? You'd expect that after dropping $50-60k on a high performance variant of a luxury sports car, youd have a real one?
Because GDI cars create a ton of gross soot around the exhaust outlets if a true exhaust is used.
@@nathanyoung8284 atleast dont put those "quad exhaust" for dumb reason
The one you tested was missing some key features. The air suspension comes with the sport differential, which is a big change in the handling. Some of the drivers assist features were missing (there are additional sensors that go in the grill) so I don't think this one had the full automated cruise control. There is a Audi provided option to turn the fake exhaust in to real exhaust, It's about $1200 from Audi. They should have included that from the factory, with all of the hate that they are getting for that.
This car has the s sport package (red calipers), and also has the adaptive cruise and 360 camera (standard on premium + and prestige models for 2021). If you’re going to comment please know what you’re talking about.
You can control an airflow in the back by opening/closing rear deflector. Not using the buttons with fancy screen, but you can.
My dad has the 2011 audi q5 but not higher trim and it has some really good tech for its time
