Is it me or this SQ5 doesn't look much lower than the Q5?

I think they only lowered it 1" at the most.

Not nearly enough for an S model.

Wrong, it's actually 1.18" according to spijun

Lol, I agree that's not nearly enough...

Has anybody noticed that the Q5 Hybrid doesn't seemed to be lowered in the North American market, the way it is in the rest of the world? I think they might be doing the same thing with our version of the SQ5.

I think my life would stay intact if the SQ5 weren't slammed. I'd be quite happy with the nine-million foot pounds of torque it makes it 5rpm.

According to specifications, the height of the Hybrid is 1655 mm in Canada and 1625 mm in Germany!!!

I was not aware that the hybrid was lower in ROW.

I thought max torque wasn't until 10 rpm.
