Q5/SQ5 MKI (8R) Discussion Discussion forum for the First Generation Audi Q5 SUV produced from 2008 to 2017

I will consider trading in my 2017SQ5 when Audi does 3 things to a 2019 or newer SQ5!

Have a '16 SQ5 with similar spec and completely agree with your comments

I am only into reengineered Q5s 2.0T which try to reach perfection. I love the 2.0T especially when I can drive like a diesel in terms of fuel economy, or like an SQ5 (with higher fuel consumption) when I drive with a more dynamic/sport style. Two packaged as one depending on my mood. Well not a normal Q5 I guess but I don't need an SQ5 any longer, just made that need obsolete or fullfilled or redundant. Ony a 2009 Q5 TFSi highly modified since it was manufactured, Mr Retrofit way as someone suggested. Love it more than any other cars on the road, though I admit facelift front grille or front view looks better. Dont get me wrong, I am an SQ5 3.0TFSi fan but after few alterations I am happy with my current 2.0TFSi+ Q5 too.

I just spent a few days in the 2018 Q5 ( own a 2014) ... it looks nicer, but definitely the quality of materials and drive train have gone down.
