So the only difference between these motors and their output is just boosting? No camshaft profiles? No bigger cooling systems or bigger throttle body?
That’s what I was told by a local audi tech fwiw. Waiting for CV or someone to agree or correct that lol.
RS gets the gold now with the realignment. S not as much. It has become more of an engine extension of A.
Still on the Q5 and SQ5 discussion.
I’d be willing to bet the SQ5 has a better transmission, is that worth $10k (maybe to some) but it also probably has better suspension and the interior looks great, even compared to the 3.0T Sline. We did look at a few SQ5s because I was interested to see what they offer, but the difference wasn’t big enough for me to trade.
Edit: Just checked, same 8-speed TIP…I guess the letter S in front make the 10k
R too 
Front brakes on SQ5 are larger, intake and exhaust are different…other than that I believe it’s cosmetic.
brakes are probably the rotors only, right?
Bigger rotors, bigger calipers, different suspension, different exhaust, flat bottom steering wheel, nicer seats, different grill, different rear valence, silver mirrors, and obviously more power which is good for someone not looking to mod.
In 2014 the S line 3.0T had the option for black optics package which gave it a sick interior, flat bottom wheel, suspension and wheels but that’s no longer an available for 2015…
Similarly equipped Q5 3.0T and SQ5 with exact terms lease about ~45 dollars different a month.
Not sure, but you may be right. Our 3.0T Q5 uses a Brembo 4 piston caliper w/ a 345mm rotor. The SQ5 is 380mm rotor and I believe are two piece rotors. The rears are all the same (minus paint).
^ our Sline 3.0 Q5 also has flat bottom wheel…no separate package required.
In Canada there is a 6K difference between the Q5 3.0T w/ Sline and SQ5.
Also, the SQ5 doesn’t have adaptive suspension available…which I actually use all the time.
This’ll really impact the S brand. What confused me was the S4 and the S5 have the same motors with the same output? To me I feel the A5 is just a two door version of the A4.
Huh? I don’t get what you are trying to say. The A5 is “just” a two door version of the A4.
Did you mean to say the A5 IS just a two door version of the A4
Yes
According to Audi it’s slightly above the A4. Somehow.
Yeah, I can see that…the A5 does have that extra seat tilt function to allow passengers to crawl into the rear…our A4’s don’t have that. :
haha, I’m with you. I think it’s just marketing gimmickry.
Having owned both a ‘4’ and a ‘5’, yes, it’s the same. Apart from less no leg room in the back (I don’t care about the back seats anyways, I think it’s only been used once or twice so far lol.
A5 is more of a p*ssy magnet than the a4, so it warrants a higher price tag. It’s all science
…this was just too easy, especially for an A5/S5 reference
Do you get what I’m saying now?
