Default 2015-2016 Q5

Hello!!

I have a 2012 A4 and I'm considering trading it in for the 2014 Q5. Any reason I should wait? Is there a substantial refresh for 2015 model? Will the interior change?

Audi reported that the second generation will debut in 2016 when their Mexican factories are ready to go. I hope that's true.

Not announced but good chance all 2015 MMI Connect will be 4G LTE.

MY2017 will be produced in Mexico in 2016.

That's my guess.

It may be too early to tell but anyone know how difficult it would be to swap to the 4G capability if they ever offer it?

Fiasco with Mexican built Jetta quality didn't tech VW company anything. Profit is more important that quality of product. Some one send them "Capital" by Karl Marks and Friedrich Engels.

Too difficult and complicated
Everything is possible ...... but the question is whether it is worth it to pay 5-6000 Eur for 4G

All other things being equal, I'd rather have a car come from Germany than Mexico, but we have a '09 Jetta GLI which is a Mexico car, and it now has 38K miles on it. No real issues, been a great all around car. I've heard all the stories about the south of the border cars, but haven't experienced it personally.

Hell, I had one of the last Golfs built in Pennsylvania many years ago and it was a great car...

I wouldn't recommend buying year one of a new model - Especially considering that new model will be coming out of a new factory that will likely have some teething issues.

To me, buying now means 3+ years of immunity to new car envy.

In the new model Q5 MY2016 will exist as an option (cca 1800-2300 EUR) : All-LED headlights including adaptive light and high-beam assist

I don't think we're going to wait until 2017 model year.

The Q5 is already in it's 6th year. 2015 model year will be 7.

So we should have an all new Q5 in the 2016 model year.
