Anyone get a pop up questionnaire while looking at the updated audiusa.com? It's asking for input on what you think of it etc.

Sadly, no.... The advertisements seem to indicate they are trying to attract the iPad crowd... Actually makes me worried that the website seems to have so many issues. I REALLY hope that does not indicate a lack of focus on 'quality' at Audi.

Looks like they increased the price for the SQ5. The most recent order guide had it at $51,900. The site is $52,400.

Thermal cup holders are only available on the Hybrid in Canada.
I'm a little sad about that, but I've read several "reviews" of those cup holders and most folks say that they're neigh useless for their intended purpose.

That's actually correct, and a marketing gimmick by Audi if anything.

0-60mph is 5.1 sec.
0-62mph(100km/h) is 5.3 sec.

The Euro SQ5-TDI is measured to 100km/h(62mp/h) in 5.1sec.

Panther Black is quite purple in some lights, however I agree the website is showing it to an extreme. I really love it, but the Mrs wanted white

The Drive Select description on the SQ5 suggests you can add adaptive suspension. It's obviously the generic Drive Select spiel but is misleading to the uninformed user.

Also - the comfort package says ventilated seats are an option? Is this true? And if so anyone got any pics of how they look/where is the control for them?
Wish we had them as an option here in the UK...

PIB says 0-60mph in 5.1s. Where did you see 5.3?

A lot of tr marketing literature mentions the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) for the SQ5 TFSI which is 5.3.

For complete clarity Audi claimed figures (all in mph)...
SQ5 TFSI 0-60 5.1
SQ5 TFSI 0-62 5.3
SQ5 TDI 0-60 4.9
SQ5 TDI 0-62 5.1

And yes, 2mph does equate to 0.2 seconds. I didn't believe it at first but if you do the math it does work.
