Default 2013 Q5 new Moonlight Blue

Pics of my new moonlight blue Audi Q5. Just picked it up this weekend.

2013 Q5 - moonlight blue/pistachio beige

Love the color. Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes it looks gray, sometimes it's black. All depends on the lighting.

It looks awesome. I am debating between moonlight blue and monsoon grey. I am also debating between black leather and beige. I think I am leaning towards blue with beige.

Congrats.

Thank you. When the car is in the garage with the lights on it, it really looks more blue. It's a strange color.

I was torn between the Monsoon Gray and the Moonlight Blue myself. I think the Monsoon Gray/Pistachio Beige is a sharp looking color combination. I would normally think it would look good with black, but a local dealer had a showroom model that was Gray/Beige and it was pretty sweet. The carpets in the pistachio beige interior are a little different though. The carpets/dash do not match the light beige of the seats. They are more of a darker beige/taupe color. It goes very well with the gray exterior.

My last car was gray so I figured I'd get blue this time around. It was a tough color combination to find with my options. Many blue/beige came stripped or loaded with black interior instead.

I have the exact same package and color combination as you, except mine is the 2012. Your description of the color as sometimes looking blue, black, or grey depending on the lighting is spot on. I actually wish it were just a little "blue-er", personally, though overall I'm very happy with the way it looks.

I have beige leather in my 2002 A6. I am used to the color, but I am afraid of the beige not being able to clean up as easy as black. My wife has a GL450 with black interior and it is much easier to clean, but I think that the beige looks better with moonlight blue or monsoon grey.

Enjoy your Q5.

I agree with your assessment of the color. I'm partial to my Cinnamon Brown interior (which is no longer available), but it's hard to go wrong with any color.

Can you post pics of the interior? I'd love to see the beige.
