At least I got the black optics package I wanted...

I think the black optics package also looks good on the dark blue Q5.
Pics would be awesome

Default SQ5 Black Pack examples. Warning: Ultra pic heavy post!!!

Here are some black SQ5's with the black styling pack.












Here are Grey examples:












And finally, some White:









In my opinion, the White with BP looks the best and it's what I would have chosen if the option were available to me and if I didn't think the silver mirror contrast was so important for S-cars.

Hope this helps anyone struggling with this choice for MY15!

Thanks so much for posting that. It's very helpful. Is that white metallic or the non-metallic?

Is it just me ? I don't like the Black optics on the SQ5 ... I'm not a chrome fan but the black plastics makes it look cheaper.

I would kill for black optics on my
'14 but I don't like going the vinyl route.

What is that extra thing on the passenger's side fog light housing? It looks like a camera to me.

Probably the sensor for the adaptive cruise control.

Never thought of that....Thx Hoiya...I am waiting for my 2015 SQ5 Technik Mytos Black with HGB (with ACC) so it should look very much like the one in here.

Hard to be 100% certain, but it looks like Glacier White Metallic to me.
