Very popular car in California. We bring you the difference between Regular and Sportback body style and in the same time comparison between Premium PLUS and Prestige trim levels. ❤
Three months owning the Prestige Q5 and what matters: The heads up display is really useful. The Park button and safety break are really helpful. Ventilated seats helps on really cold/warm days. Never used the self Parking feature, the cameras are more than enough. I really like the car.
With the exception of touch screen, dash display, cooled seats, heated rear seats and window screen my wife's 2020 Q5 platinum edition interior looks identical. My main beef with the interior is it needs bigger and more cup holders with more storage space front and rear. The charging pad is nice but do to the cup holders being where they are it's awkward getting something from the storage box. On the ones with a touch screen thet shoul put extra set of cup holders or the charging pad where the buttons use to be.
I have the 2023 Q-5 S-Line and I regret selling my 2017 S-Line Q5. New doesn't mean better. I just learned that the hard way! They said ,Made in Mexico don't worry about it! Worry about it!
Comparison, as always. I do want to point out one key advantage the traditional Q5 has over the Sportback version, however. That is the inclusion of roof rails and included crossbars for roof accessories. This may not be important for some, however for me, it allows me to have additional cargo room via use of the roof cargo carrier. In addition, I have two roof mounted bike racks that I interchange with when going biking. Again, this may not be important to some, but it does point out the additional fixability of the traditional Q5 over the Sportback when it comes to utility. I think if the Sportback had roof rails, I would prefer that version, as you lose very minimal space as compared to other brands, coupe-like SUVs.
Im definitely gonna get an SQ5, but im gonna wait for the redesigned version that's possibly coming out in 2024. If the wait time for an RS3 wasn't 2 years i wouldve gone with that.
Worst possible locations for cupholders. I mean, if you are shifting manually, and you have a couple of Sonic Bajahaha Blasts in the cupholders, you’re gonna scratch your wrist up on the straws.
I agree, the cup holders are small and in a bad place. Not to mention if you have a drink in them, you have to remove them before you can get anything out of the storage box. Also need more than two cup holders.
