Anyone got the new sq5 without the s sport package?
How is the car without it? Meaning without the air suspension and sports diff
thanks!

I don’t have it and I think it’s fine. I’m not driving to work like I’m on a race track so it’s just fine for me. It all depends on how you’ll drive the car. I splurged on DAP etc. I’m very happy with my SQ5 1500 miles in.

How is is he gas mileage you get estimated?
In addition what color color is your sq5 and did you get Nappa leather?

We got it without the sport package. Coming from a 2016 Q5 3.0t, we really just wanted the larger engine of the SQ5 and everything else is just a bonus.

Getting an SQ5 without the S Sport package takes away from why people buy and 'S' model. The air suspension alone is worth the money not to mention the awesome sport differential. Whie some people don't think it makes a difference they don't drive their SQ5 properly. An air suspension is the way to go especially since you can raise/lower your SQ5 on top of having minimal body roll and great ride quality.

We got it without the Sport package and it's just fine. Handles very well and it's not too bouncy, even with the 21" wheels. Would it be better with the air suspension? Maybe, but by no means it should be a deal breaker.

I’ve seen this question asked on other threads and most people think it’s well worth the money. I have it and think the suspension is awesome, can’t imagine the car without it. I would think that you might hurt resale value without it as well, I would think most buyers of an sq would insist on the sport package. I’ve had the regular q5 as loner and don’t think the suspension is quite as good. Regards. Ned.
