Yeah, has to be US model because the speedometer doesn't go high enough to be in KM. Looks like the numbers only go up to 160.

Nonononono, Cinnamon and Chestnut are totally different colors. Chestnut is a medium brown while Cinnamon is a bit lighter and has an orangish tone to it. I actually kind of liked Cinnamon (despite not being a brown sort of guy), but am not really a fan of Chestnut (but a lot of people are it seems since many are getting it).

I think 123Audi4Me's first image may be a Cinnamon interior (2012 or earlier), but it's hard to tell since cameras can really make colors look different at times.

Thanks for the clarification. I just noticed there weren't Chestnut interiors before 2012 but saw what looked like the equivalent. What? Doesn't everyone shoot raw with a grey card?

Yeah, you'd think they'd at least be comparable (sometimes it's a subtle change) but in this case it's a pretty decent difference.

Comparing to what I've seen vs. the pictures posted, 123Audi4Me's first pic is a good representation of the Cinnamon (whether it's a Cinnamon or actually Chestnut, it's about what my eyes saw on Cinnamon in a 2012), and the pictures of the Chestnut interiors (including what I'd posted) aren't quite "pure brown" enough as they seem to have a slight orangish cast to them (which likely exists and the cameras have picked up on more than my eyes).

As an exaggeration of the color difference, here's actual cinnamon and chestnut, which are in the ballpark of the interior colors:

The picture came from a dealer website showing a 2013 with chestnut interior. Also, the color matched leather panel in the doors was added in 2013. My dealer had a 2012 with cinnamon interior and door panels were all black.

Correct, '13 is the first year with the colour-matched door panels. I really like my Chestnut interior.

I have gotten soooo many compliments on my Cinnamon. People love it. I think it looks best opposite white or blue, but looks good on a black car too. If I had a black car I'd have to go all black interior tho or black/gray alcantara.

IMO, the chesnut looks more refined and luxury, where the cinnamon looks more sporty.

Both are great colors however.

Good info, thanks. (And proves my point about cameras causing color rendition problems, since it really does look more like Cinnamon to me. )

Fantastic looking interior....Is that walnut or ash inlay?

123Audi4me

I believe all of the pics in this thread are of the natural ash inlay. Here is a link to some great pics of a 2013 cuvee silver Q5 with a chestnut interior. I would have purchased this one if it had the sport interior package and didn't have the tow hitch.
