"Fun to drive, but miss with the rest"

I bought my SQ5 2 months ago, love how it handles/drives, engine noise is great. I went with the black optic package with the 21” rims and I love how it looks. The car is quick for how large it is, and handles very well. Steering is light and responsive. I’ve really concerned with long term reliability. The air conditioning already broke and required 2 weeks at the shop to fix. The entire system needed replaced. Soon after, the lane keep assist camera stopped working. Found out that the camera was installed wrong and was never calibrated correctly. I’m worried about what might go wrong with the rest of the car. Small details could be improved on the interior/safety system to move the quality to 5 stars. Too much hard plastic, center screen feels cheap and should have been touch screen (which is now available in 2021 models I believe). The safety features are weird. The blind spot will ONLY shine a small light when someone is in your blind spot + you turn your blinker on (or are backing up). It should beep at you so you don’t have to look for the small light. The car beeps for so many other unneeded situations (ie when there isn’t a speed limit sign for the camera to recognize for more than roughly 2 minutes of driving), blind spot should be one as well. Also, be aware that there are not a lot of tire options for this rim size (255 / 21” rim). I live in Ohio and prefer an all season over a summer tire (you never know when it will snow), $350-360 per tire is the only option there with 2 different tire option. Overall (when the car was out of the shop..) the car is great and I love driving it. Hopefully the car will stay in-tact going forward and the reliability score will get better.

"Not worth the money after 4 years"

Just after warranty finished had a check fuel light turn on, turns out there was a crack there as was as in the coolant and needed over 15k worth of repairs. I’m done with Audi. Sad because their customer service has been exceptional.

Beautiful

Fast, agile, and comfortable luxury SUV. It’s large enough to pick up your Christmas tree or mulch (please lay down tarp) yet nimble and quick enough to maneuver through traffic during your morning commute. The power will make you smile.

Pros

Luxury everywhere, stylish

Cons

None so far.

A comfortable, fun car to drive. Love the 10.1 inch screen. Easy to figure out. One of the nicest looking SUVs on the road.

Just right in so many ways........
Pros

The V6 is very quick and sounds just right.

Cons

M.P.G. could be better not not bad at 21.1 MPG avg

My 2022 SQ5 Prem+ is just right in the power, seating, and interior. The cabin is very quiet and refined in its fit and finish. This Audi is fun to drive in any condition.
