I believe one other difference you guys have missed that the S-Line package includes is the Audi drive select controls, which allows you to switch the car between different driving modes. Some may argue the actual usefulness of this feature, but it is part of the "Driver Assist" package if you do not get the S-Line package. I'm still waiting on my first Audi, so I'll let the current owners comment on this feature.

Baller!

Larry in another thread I meant to note that the PIB doesn't say that the SQ5 has the electronically controlled damped suspension (but does note the steering) as part of Drive Select. Do you if it does (and thus a typo/omission) or is that a difference with SQ5?

I think the SQ5 just has conventional non-adjustable dampers, tuned for a sporty ride, so probably closer to the dynamic setting on a regular Q5 with ADS.

I would be cool with this because I prefer the firmer dampers. My 2010 Q5 S-line had the ADS option and honestly, I could hardly tell a difference between the comfort and dynamic settings on the suspension. Very subtle but I preferred the firmest option, which was still soft compared to sports sedan standards. I used VCDS to have it default to this dynamic setting and never again touched the ADS buttons for the rest of the time I had it.

Great deal.

I'm guessing mine will retail at around $67K - Prestige, metallic paint, Driver Assist, Nappa Leather & Carbon Atlas Inlays.

I'm hoping for late-August/early-Sept delivery (ordered 4/22).

Just checked with the dealer, the Q5 (USA Spec)I have in order is about $52 - $53k, it's a 3.0T premium plus, full S-line, metallic paint, MMI, B&O. To get an SQ5 with similar equipment would be $67k. Looks like I'm sticking to my Q5!

Your order looks nearly identical to mine, not including colors. Unless the announced SQ5 prices on Audi USA News are off, your dealer's estimate seems completely off. My 3.0T including Destination Charge comes out to $53,695 based on the latest order guide. My SQ5 (Premium Plus, MMI, and B&O) including Destination Charge comes out to $58,270, and that's with the more expensive Estoril Blue paint color ($1075 last years price). So your dealer seems off by $10k, unless the numbers we've been given are wrong.

You're dealer is out of it.

Announced base on the SQ5 is $51,900.
Paint +$500
Destin +$895
MMI +$3550
B&O +$850

$57,695 MSRP

Sounds like the dealer is trying to make it a Prestige and Comfort package. And that wouldn't even get you to $67k

As the others said, no way.

So I've been out of the Audi owner circle for a while. I was wondering if anybody can tell me (and my apologies first if these are obvious now) in regarts to the 2014 SQ5 or just Q5 in general

1) stream music via bluetooth? My last audi was a 2011 A4 and it couldn't stream music over bluetooth
2) where the ipod/iphone connection is located? In my a4 it was the glovebox which meant I had to keep a separate ipod in the glovebox in order to keep my phone nearby
3) will Audi ever finally put next/previous buttons on the steering wheel?
4) I recall seeing that certain higher end models (a6+?) had a more advanced MMI that could hook up to the internet via cellular. Will this model have it?
