Two years into our Q5 3.0t lease we were ready for an upgrade and went with a new 2018 SQ5. No issues getting out of the old lease as the 3.0 Q5s are still holding their value pretty well. The new SQ5 is Daytona Gray with Rotor Gray fine Nappa leather interior. It has nav, B&O, and cold weather package. So far we are loving the new technology and upgrade in power. It's not that the 2018 2.0t Q5s are slow, but they are just not as quiet, refined, or effortless as the outgoing 3.0t, so that is why we went with the SQ5 this time around. Next week, I'm trading my A3 for a 2018 S5, so it will be interesting if there are any noticeable differences between it and the SQ5.
I’m thinking of doing the same thing. Swapping my very low miles ‘15 3.0T for an SQ5 while the value holds. And I’d spec it nearly as you did. I look forward to your thoughts regarding the comparison and the differences you find between them.
