1 - not sure, I think it does but someone would have to confirm it
2 - its in the glovebox...they probably do this so you can't use your phone while driving
3 - I doubt it, they seem to want to keep the steering wheel simple instead of 1000 buttons on it.
4 - Yes, it has Audi Connect which requires a subscription but will give a wifi hotspot from your car.

You will have to add $1250 for the full nappa leather.

I'm not a fan of the suede / leather seats that are standard in the S4 and SQ5.

I was hoping they'd have the steering wheel fixed. I saw this image and thought maybe they finally fixed it:

Maybe that was just a concept or only for the A7??

Can't edit post above it seems so sorry for the double post...



After emailing my dealer yesterday to get a little info on SQ5 timeframes he said these will be limited and hard to get (assuming just dealer trying to create the illusion of buying urgency). So, that said, do you think the pricing will end up being MSRP with not much wiggle room to get closer to invoice?

A6+ often get things that the lower-tier models don't. The facelift Q5 doesn't have that yet (there's a "Mode" button there on top). Possibly the next-gen 2016 model might.

There's a lot of people getting near invoice for their SQ5s it seems like. How much you can get depends on what dealer you're talking to; volume dealers seem most willing to get near invoice while lower-volume dealers may not budge much from MSRP (trying to get as much profit from their smaller allotment).

Thanks guys for the replays, I've sent my dealer another email and included a copy of that chart asking him how he came up with $67k. Hopefully he just miss typed the number, lol.

I love those seats and is possibly the main reason I'd even consider an SQ5 over TDI

I ordered my B5 S4 for such seats and waited 5 months, while leather seats were available on the lots.




I'm still trying to figure out the difference between A & E (from SQ5 PIB):

Seats Carpeting Decorative Inlays Upper & Lower Dash Headliner
A. Black - XG Black Brushed Aluminum Black Black
B. Black/Lunar Silver - XO Black Brushed Aluminum Black Black
C. Black/Brown Black -SV Brushed Aluminum Black Black
D. Black/Magma Red Black - FA Brushed Aluminum Black Black
E. Black - ZM Black Brushed Aluminum Black Black
F. Brown - WN Black Brushed Aluminum Black Black

I can only assume one is more black and one is more charcoal???

Yup, that's just typical dealer talk. It's not an RS car so the SQ5 will not be hard to get especially if you're open to inquiring with other dealers out of your area. My dealer (Chicago area) has 2 sold-order SQ5 in the order bank that have been pulled for production (one is mine), and 2 more open (available) allocations as of yesterday when I spoke my sales guy. There's always wiggle room for price under msrp depending on which dealer you're dealing with and how hard you try.

E and F are the Comfort seats.

The PIB is a little misleading. Basically it comes down to this:

ZM is the interior code for black if you opt for either the standard sport seats or the Comfort package. If you choose ZM with PCC (comfort package) you get an all black leather seat with perforations (for cooling feature) and don't get alcantara. If you choose ZM without PCC, you get an all black seat with alcantara central inserts. This is one of only 2 ways to get alcantara inserts. The other way is SU, which gets you two tone lunar/black leather/alcantara.

XG is the interior code for black if you opt for WTP (fine napa leather upholstery). In this case you get a full Nappa leather interior, which I assume includes the seats. Seats will be all black leather sport seats with code XG. You cannot choose WTP + XG with PCC.
