Great video. I have a 22 SQ5 in quantum grey with the black optics and black badges. Love it!! One of the best cars I’ve ever had. Thanks for showing us!
@@andylee-sue9711 funny, I’ve been wondering that since like 2017. If they were here I’d have at least one as well. No one is able to give any reasons why
Great video. Why in the world ventilated front seats aren’t standard is beyond me. Trying to find an SQ5 with the “warm weather package” was ludicrously hard. (I ended up with an SQ8 but I really, really preferred the smaller size of the SQ5.) Definitely subscribed. My next purchase may be a new S5 cabriolet with the “prestige” trim but right now they are very rare.
Thank you! I have always wondered why they don’t put the ventilation with the fine nappa seats. I don’t get it. Congrats on the SQ8!! And on your future S5 cabriolet!
I also love that color combo as well, since I haven't been able to get my hands on one because of the car shortage should I just wait for the 2023 model sq5 that I have seen videos on, thanks again for your great videos
@@emilytheaudinerd a 2022 sq5, but I believe the 2023 model will have a different interior, in the 2022 model the screen is on top of the dash it seems like a after thought
@@emilytheaudinerd unfortunately that feature is for non-US spec from what I have found. We only get the Q format and it does not change when you change driving modes like Audi shows in some of their promo videos. If you find out differently please let me know.
Great video! I final decided and ordered a 23 SQ5. So you know of any changes that it may have? I optioned the ventilated seats and dynamic steering column…I’m surprised most people don’t option that
Hi Emily,Great overall presentation,Am getting my SQ5 quantum grey with Magna red here in Toronto next month,i got dynamic package,can you tell whats the benefit of Limited Slip differntial,Thanks
Does the sq5 in sportback have roof racks? In one of the q5 sportback videos that was something that was missing. Wondering what is the case for the sq5 sportback version.
Hello, Does this version you are reviewing (without sport air suspension) have the ability to adjust ride suspension comfort 🤔 I built one and I see standard adaptive suspension and wandered what this achieves. I called my dealers and they contradict each other. Thanks
Hey Emily! I ordered a SQ8 last October and finally got assigned a VIN number by my dealership this week, any idea what the wait time will be from here in your experience?
I wanted to love it but minus that virtual cockpit the inside is so dated. The infotainment not being integrated into the dash is a big turn off for me. I hope you guys are letting the people at Audi know. I know a few people that said the same. Beautiful car though.
@@emilytheaudinerd thanks so much. Q3 is way to small as well as the engine. Don't like EV's prefer growl and screams from my engine. Q7 and 8 are too big.
Very nice! I have always wondered why they don't have an RSQ5 option. It would sell like crazy! But there are rumors some new things will be coming in the not too distant future
Too bad the Germans don't offer rear view mirror cameras. Something all SUV need since cargo (or a taller passenger) can completely block the view out the rear window. Not sure why the resist this usable feature.
Interesting point. I have not had much time in a car with a digital mirror but the one I did I do feel it was quite distracting and bright at night. Maybe that will come in the future!

Great car. Love it. If I didn’t have my ‘17 Macan S, I’d totally get this. Well done Audi, and this is such a good presentation. You are awesome!
Thank you! 👍
My wife picked up the quantum grey SQ5 yesterday with the S performance package, blackout package, real exhaust and the hot magma red interior
Congrats!!
Great walkaround Emily! I currently have an S5..looking at the SQ5...you sold me!!!
Thank you! What year is your S5? What build do you want for your SQ5? :)
@@emilytheaudinerd 2016..59k miles. not sure about the build yet...probably Premium..must have B&O sound!
@@charlesf4428 very cool!!! I agree, BnO is a must!
I can't imagine being left wanting with that car, especially given the real exhaust tip option. What a beauty.
It truly is incredible!
Thank you very much for this beautiful presentation...
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for your videos!! I purchased the Q8 because of your review😊
Thank you for watching!! Congrats on your Q8!!
Awesome review Emily! I love all the detail you cover in the interior with the controls. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video! I have the Q5 and was looking at this SQ one.
Thank you! What year is the Q5 you have now?
@@emilytheaudinerd 2022 Premium Plus.

What a lovely presentation. Thanks a lot. ( subscribed )
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for subscribing!
I love my 2022 SQ5 which is Daytona Grey Pearl with the Black Optic Package! I hate the fake exhaust tips though!
I'm glad to hear you love yours! you can have the real exhaust installed at the dealer!
@@emilytheaudinerd Do you happen to know what the cost of the real exhaust would be?
@@andylee-sue9711 I know that from the port it’s $1,400. So I’d assume installed at the dealer, somewhere in the $2,000-$2,500 range.

Currently driving 2011 Q5 2.0 TDI. Wish I get this beauty.
WOW!! I love the TDIs! Glad they are still loved! Someday this SQ5 could be in your garage!
Lacking wireless CarPlay is a deal breaker for me. Great information, thx.
Wait!! IT HAS wireless car play!! :)

If you can find a 2022, id scoop it up. MSRPs will go up again for 2023.

I have a 22 SQ5 Prestige and you mentioned you can change the tail light patter between three. How do you do this?
Great question. I haven’t had the chance to play with one myself. It should be in the vehicle settings under lighting and exterior lighting.

When are y’all expecting allocations for the 2023 S7?
I would guess sometime after July 1st

Thank you! No option changes for 2023
What’s up with the silver roof racks even with the black optics package? What have people done? I got quotes for $400 dollars to get them wrapped
Great question! I have never had someone ask this, everyone I know of just used the silver ones and then took them off when not in use

Hello! Thanks for watching! Congrats on your SQ5! The benefit is that it will push you through the corners eliminating under steer!
Great thanks👍
Does the sq5 in sportback have roof racks? In one of the q5 sportback videos that was something that was missing. Wondering what is the case for the sq5 sportback version.
Great question! All versions of the Q5 sportback do not have the roof racks. They did away with them to make the sloping coupe like roof.
Hello,
Does this version you are reviewing (without sport air suspension) have the ability to adjust ride suspension comfort 🤔
I built one and I see standard adaptive suspension and wandered what this achieves. I called my dealers and they contradict each other.
Thanks
Hello! It can adjust the suspension, however it will not be nearly as noticeable or soft in comfort as it would be if you had the air suspension.
@@emilytheaudinerd Plus with sport pkg it get red calipers and slick wheel options.
Thanks for your time 🙏
@@ccfunkster yes it does! Thanks for watching!
Hello, Do 3 rear windows come tinted dark?
On SUVs, yes they will.
I'm waiting for the 2023 inventory hopefully year end, maybe they'll make some changes that were minor dislikes here.
Hey Emily! I ordered a SQ8 last October and finally got assigned a VIN number by my dealership this week, any idea what the wait time will be from here in your experience?
Hello! It all depends on what status your car is in. I’d assume anywhere between 2-4 months :)
@@emilytheaudinerd thanks for the reply!

That is why Audi offers many different options! Try the Q3, Q4, Q7, Q8 or e-tron and it is integrated!
@@emilytheaudinerd thanks so much. Q3 is way to small as well as the engine. Don't like EV's prefer growl and screams from my engine. Q7 and 8 are too big.
This is a serious contender. Macan and Lexus NX other Topguns.
That high school chick is an awesome salesman 👨💼. 👍. But slow down! 🐢
The SQ5 is better than most out there. Great comparisons. I’ve been with Audi for 4 years! I do my best to slow down, just too excited 😆
@@emilytheaudinerd 😂 You rock girl!
Compare it to the Lexus NX!
I have a 2018 fully loaded great car. But it needs to be advanced. Audi is lagging, they need a twin turbo or v8 option.
Very nice! I have always wondered why they don't have an RSQ5 option. It would sell like crazy! But there are rumors some new things will be coming in the not too distant future
Do you work for Audi?
I work for an Audi Dealership in Minnesota as a sales consultant!

20 mpg? Dreadful! Something is screaming hybrid!
This is the sport model, they do have the Q5e hybrid that gets much better mileage!
