I love the acceleration of the SQ, but I'm not sure if I want to go that high ($$) for an SUV.
Is it possible to get the SQ5 wheels on the 3.0T?
I have the s-line very dark gray 20 inch wheels and summer tires for sale.
I had the 20s taken off before I even saw the vehicle at the dealer by the dealer.
Brand new never driven wheels and tires.
I have: 2014 Q5 3.0t S-Line premium plus without nav.

Stopped by the dealer again this weekend.
-Can NOT get the stock SQ5 wheels on a Q5.
-Can NOT get the upgraded leather seats on a Q5 without the Prestige package.
-Getting sport seats changes the interior (carpets, dash, headliner) to black.
-Audi is supposed to be making some announcements this week. Rumor is it's an RS6 Avant coming stateside.
I'm still looking to see a teak brown in person.

Can't place an order for a Q5 with the SQ5 wheels, but you could always put them on after the fact (could try and swing a deal to sell the stock Q5 wheels to the dealer so you're paying closer to the difference, but it'll still be more expensive than if you could order from the factory that way).

And it's the S-Line package that includes the black headliner, not the Sport Interior package (seats and wheel). Unless you have the brown interior in which case you have the black headliner no matter the configuration.

I wouldn't hold my breath about us getting an RS6 Avant here, but at least being one of the halo models it's more likely than the A6 or A4 avant coming back anytime soon....

I'm not holding out for an RS6. I probably wouldn't go for it at that price point anyway (assuming it's RS7 territory). An S6 might be doable, but that is probably even less likely to come here.
So with the sport interior, the dash and carpets still change to black don't they? It's kind of hard to know for sure with some of this, as the web site seems to be less than totally accurate.

I think it changes to black with the full sport package.
