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

Yes, the SQ5 is 30mm lower than a standard Q5 in ROW. My understanding is that the Q5 Hybrid is 25mm lower in ROW, for better aerodynamics.

My own Q5 is dropped 33mm with the STaSIS suspension, so it's very similar to an SQ5. To me, it's a nice height. It doesn't look like a lowered vehicle, unless you actually compare it to another Q5; it just looks like it should be this way.

Sometimes there are mistakes on the website.
Not see any reason why the Q5 Hybrid in Canada was different from the rest of the world

I'm not talking about the specs on the website. I'm talking about standing beside one in the showroom

Okay, but I still think that's a mistake
I do not believe that Audi made a "special" model for Canadian Market
Maybe I'm wrong

I'd imagine that the US market would be the same. Somebody in the US should go get a picture of a Q5 Hybrid beside a regular Q5!
