Not according to audi.ca website.

Well it's kinda obvious that you can't have both comfort and sport seats at the same time. I wanted ventilated seats, and going for comfort option is the only way to get them.

I've also read in other threads on these forums that the SQ5 in Canada is ~~30mm lower than the Q5, as Canada is not regulated with the same "Truck" status as in America.

So I think that's why Audi canada may be able to get the SQ5s in with the slightly lower suspension.

Most manufacturers now practice the art of selling option "packages" so that for a few grand you get a $150 gps (built in) amid some backup sensors mixed in with a bunch of other crap you have not much need for.
Ordered my SQ5 last week, actually an incoming unit. All incoming had a bunch of packages already spect. Most had similar equipment packages. I figure having the options should fair better on resale down the road.
Look forward to getting it late October,bought it based on reviews so hoping it will be a fun winter driver to replace an SRT8 Jeep that served me very well.

Is yours in Canada or America?

Is it not lowered like you say?

Showroom quote earlier in the thread seemed to indicate two cars side by side q5 and sq5, sq5 was visibly lower.

Hoping in Canada that it is indeed actually the 29mm lower.

Did you order from Downtown audi? Or Queensway Audi?

I have read bad reviews about Downtown Audi, and good reviews about Queensway Audi.

But I will still be going to both of them at least and getting the best prices that each can do and comparing.

Ive heard the downtown guys can be a bit snobby. All those Bay streeters!

The Canadian web site isn't always accurate, they might have copied the data from one of the euro sites where it's lower.

I've seen a few SQ5's around here and they didn't seem lower than my 3.0T.

Mine is a Canadian model and I had to order parts from Europe to lower it to euro-spec.

Ordered from Downtown. Was an excellent experience. They offered me the next incoming unit at a fair price. The GSM - Robin McCallum and Dani Abramov (sales rep) took care of me like royalty. I am very pleased with the experience. Didn't even need to shop. Excellent service and customer care does not need to compete with the lowest price. Had a very good overall experience and the process was not time consuming. They have some nice units on order. I didn't want to order a new build as it would take too long. Best of luck Aussie.
