This exhaust sounds GOOOOD!
WHAT exhausts!!!!! Audi are losing the plot when it comes to styling, they seem to have forgotten that the sq5 comes from a stable of unique sports cars that have subtle differences to identify this and that includes exhausts, they have scrimped and scraped on this one it is very generic to save money, the first generation sq5 is definitely the better of the two cars
@@daveallsopp320 It does sound good, but as you mentioned, it's hidden. Lame for sure. Audi claims it's cause the new generation doesn't like to clean their exhaust tips and complain to them that they get dirty
@@TenaciousTomato just plain lazy
Have watched a ton of reviews and this one was one of if not the best and most informative one's we've seen. Great job! I'm getting my Sq5 tomorrow and am soooo excited!!
Picking mine up next Thursday...can’t wait.
Can't be more agree! Great job man, helped me a lot to decide! Can't wait for Monday!
Hi buddy, you should got it for 2 years. Is it brand new when you got it? Is this the best decision you made? Do you still love it today?
I have an 18 SQ5, if anyone chooses to purchase the current models. Just make sure you get the sports package. It comes with rear diff, red calipers and air suspension which makes it sit lower than a standard SQ5.
Great review. Especially the night time review. Great concept. Look forward to more of your videos.
Many thanks. Best review I've seen on this suv.
Mr Forrest, this was a fantastic review. Very entertaining and thorough. Well done, sir.
Excellent review, the best I have seen. Nice touch with the night time view. 👍🏾
Great review. I'm considering the SQ5 and appreciate the perspective. Especially liked the night view.
solid content and driving chief, '18 SQ5 and '18 S5 coupe owner here. subscribed 🔥
Couple things: That is a full size spare that you inflate with the air compressor. For 2019 the SQ5 does have USB ports for the rear seat.
Thorough review! Love it and badass suv!
your smiling and fun while driving is convincing enough that its an extraordinary car brother :)
Great review bro!
I've never understood that either, it's a fantastic SUV, sporty, practical, all around one of my favorites.
Vcc
Fake exhausts are too much to handle 😅
@@logcabins8258 The tunability of this platform and aftermarket styling options more than make up for any other short comings.
Nice review - great job!
There is a 12 volt socket in the rear of the arm rest for the back seats, you can put a USB charger there or whatever. Also heated seats are an option for the rear.
What would your recommendations be for tweaking the setup?
thanks for this dude. super solid video!
Good review Sir
Very nice review of the SQ5, Forrest! Interactive and entertaining, especially when you hit that corner at high speed a couple of times! Loved it, and I am also a proud owner of a '18 SQ5 w/ S-sport package. Yeah, I agree with you, I feel that we are lacking some raves on how capable this car can be..., oh, and that exhaust note I am never tired of hearing when in Dynamic!
Forrest you have to build boost all the way up for max torque at start up
At least it is that way in other S/RS models
Good on by the way
Bellissimo video grazie 👍
Watching the Clouds by Lakey Inspired came on and I was like "WAYMENT I'M NOT WATCHING FORREST WHATS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!"
B HM using his new arcade song next! 🙌
I love this, and great review as usual man! But idk why Audi gives those faux quad exhaust looking trim tips on the back. Why not just have real quad exhausts showing? Especially on the SQ5.
Agree. The sound does make up for it though
@@jasonleon1976 2017 was the last rendition of "purposeful" quad exhausts. maybe the'll revert back after all the customer comments?
The SQ5 is downright awesome! Love the wheels!
how do you initiate the launch control? Tried a few times and no success
Only thing that bothers me is those wavey creases or shoulder lines (or whatever), don't like it. Wish it had more boxy look with straight shoulder lines like Q2-3-7and 8. Nice review.
FYI: Audi has been doing aluminum mirrors on "S" cars since 2000.
A lightly optioned one is "only" $54k. Not bad.
Chad Purser Not at all. I actually think it’s decently priced in base form.
I'd go Kia Sorento
@@jaredshelton4718 kia ? Lmaoo
@@tezatmezat Yeah
@@jaredshelton4718 is the kia the same price?
SQ5 or the 2020 GLC 43 AMG?
It must be set at its Dynamic Mode .
Cool review, not for nothing that it is Audi's best selling car. I got mine mid 2019 with the same 21" wheels, had them sprayed gloss black and man does it look amazing, what a difference.
Please share a pic!
@@4augustus18 can't share a pic in the comments section unfortunately
I’m planning to get the 2019 SQ5 in Navarra Blue with these wheels and sprayed black. I absolutely love these wheels in black! I have a 2015 S4 right now, but I’m ready for a SUV.
$68,000 and it doesn’t have cooled seats? Also, is your cx-5 diesel review no longer up?
Jeremy Webb No 😕 Apparently one of the songs I used got copyrighted even thought it was supposedly a non copyrighted song. Since I had deleted most of the footage I couldn’t re-edit and re-upload it 😞
Forrest's Auto Reviews Aw sorry to hear that man, I’m glad I got to at least see it. Nice video on the q5. I have a q5 tdi that I was actually considering trading in for CX-5 diesel for. Got to have match for my mx-5. :)
You can get cooled seats, but you can't get the sport seats cooled.
Elliott Manning exactly! From my understanding you can’t get cooled seats on most Audi’s with the sport seats
Wut u hav to say about the fake exhaust?
I have the SQ5, it's a good car, but I think that like the RSQ3, Audi should make and RSQ5, for more power.
tune it :)
The SQ5 is pretty good. Sure would've been a shame, if you drove off without the key after starting it.😂
SSSSHHHHHHHHHH LOLOLOL
So its been reported with 2018 models they have major issues is this true? Im looking for an sq5 2018 maybe wait for 2021 for them to lower 2019
If you are impressed with this one, you should try the Porsche Macan S, i still think the Macan S is a step above the SQ5 in terms of handling as it shares its platform with the Q5 but with a more rear biased all wheel drive setup, it basically handles like a sedan. And it costs just as much as an Audi SQ5, i would go Macan S all day.
I don't know your area, but in mine the cheapest strip down Macan S you could find is $65K, the SQ5 below $60K. I agree, performance wise the Porsche its very hard to beat. But in a SUV you look for certain comforts, luxury and technology, and Audi offers the best of both worlds.
@@angelluis1949 in this instance, Audis got the tech and the power. Porsche has the looks and the handling.
I drove a 2017 Macan S with 51k miles on it at a dealership recently, so smooth but silent exhaust, then I drove a 2017 Macan S with 141k miles on it and oh boy it ran rough. Then I test drove a 2018 SQ5 with 60k miles on it and in my opinion it has the best of both worlds. For me it felt as fun as the Macan S and I couldn’t get the rough idle of that higher mileage Macan S out of my head. Plus the Macans have the timing cover oil leak $9,000 repair 🫠
You don’t have heated seats because this is not equipped with the cold weather package
Audi q5 designer need to go back to late model q5 and add more improve refine to screen display. I was lucky to find 2015 audi q5 with 3.0 supercharged with S line package with alone 32,499. I have 56,800 on it now. I love this car. The 2020 audi sq5 is overpriced. I see why audi 2020 is $68,000. The turbo 3.0 V6 save a few gallon of premium gas. I have the
Extra warranty on my 2015 q5 with supercharged. I had the 55 miles service my spock plug was black. The previous owner lease it. Couldn't understand the recommended premium gas only. There Is nothing like put your foot down on a supercharged 3.0 V6. With real exhaust pipe.
In agreement. I've the 2017 acquired with 30k. A little more fine tuning and I'll be ecstatic!
Assembled in Mexico?
I drove a rental Audi Q5, basically a stripper Q5 and i liked it except for the steering. way too light for my taste. I cant imagine the SQ5 and how it drives
I was considering the SQ5 until i started reading about all the faults... .. back to the drawing board..
What kind of faults have you heard about. Test drove one this evening and I don't want to buy a car with a million issues.
It's like an RSQ5 without the R ,lol. "rs light"
What currency? Don’t assume we know where you are!
Can you post a "Forrest's Auto Reviews" viewer poll question on your newly coiffed man-bun? 😒😒😖😖
J High LOL! It’s been in the 100’s here in Texas. Trust me, you’d put it up too if you had as much hair as I do. It’s basically an instant greenhouse effect when my hair is down in this heat. 🥵
I could list a lot of reasons why, but the short of it is the price tag vs what you get in terms of everything. I was in the market for one of these, but after just a little research and test drove some competitors in this price range, the SQ5 honestly felt too close to my 14 Outback that I wanted to replace. Not in 0-60 performance or the fancy tech, but in styling, quality, practicality and overall curb appeal. It definitely did not warrant enough of an upgrade for me personally, and I had my heart set on getting one a few years back. I DO think the Q5s themselves are great cars, which is why everyone and their mother drives one. But at that price range with the likes of Macans, Stelvios, Fpaces, X3Ms and Volvo’s out there... the SQ5 is just so meh. Least favorite S variant in all of Audi. They need to make this thing feel special, leave the “understated effect” for the base offerings.
What did you get?
Kevin Murray Went with a macan gts
2020 GLC amg43 is more impressive. 0 to 60 4.7 sec.
More expensive too!
It's way too expensive sadly.
My answer, #Dieselgate
Sounds like a v8
Да не едет она ни хрена!
Because it's a Volkswagen
man, i really want you to succeed, i gave you half a year, coming back and you still not ... not there. audio quality, shaky filming, not prepped text, dude... step up your game, there are tons of youtubers to look up to, you can do it
maximua78 thanks for sticking with the channel! I’ll definitely work on it!
look at him now! good on ya forrest 😎
Fake exhaust 👎
So yet another car, where have to wait for boost, just to launch it quick. A shame, that those preperation times never are considered in the official 0-60 times.
From first tapping the pedal to 60 it takes about 7 to 8 seconds.
Wtf? Your logic is weird
Great video. May I suggest you learn your numbers in terms of size/measurements, rather than lazily say you're going to put them on the screen. That to me says, you weren't bothered enough to look up specs(Much the less learn them), prior to showcasing the vehicle the manufacturer lent you for an entire week.
You should make a better review then
It doesn't get more praise because the bmw x3 m40i and the porsche macan s are that much better than it
Because its design is boring and flat.
hell nah that thing dont sound good to me. olololo and im goginb for the corvette,nah i see that grip boi the grip is prety dood honestly just sty safe and honsetly im not sure if the people who own the house on that road is fine with how we drive on that road idklol also i think these car companies need to get that green house gases out of our atmosphere but ye just my opinion
The Corvette and this really don’t compete except maybe on price 🤷🏻♂️ and even then- if I had a family or whatever, this offers something sporty with speed and a lot of practicality.
