My wife was partial to the Scuba Blue, which I also like, but the Daytona Grey is also an excellent colour.
Ours is a 3.0T Premium (or “Technik” or whatever the highest one is these days) SLine with NAV, B&O etc. The TDi would have certainly been a consideration if it was available.
The pictures below were taken shortly before we had a trailer hitch put on. We use the Q5 to pull a ~3800lbs camping trailer and it does a superb job. Even though it’s rated above all of its competitors in the segment (4400lbs) more would have always been better. It’s not that it doesn’t easily pull what we have, it would have just been nice to get something larger The other unfortunate related item is that Audi doesn’t support weight distributing hitches on the Q5 so you have to be aware of tongue weight. It’s pre-wired for a brake controller. We use a Tekonsha P3.
When the NAV system is optioned it also adds streaming BT, which we find incredibly handy.
The B&O audio system is a nice add for the money they ask for it. The standard system was lacking IMO.
The Sline (at least in Canada) adds full ADS which I find very useful in this type of vehicle. Comfort mode for cruising, tighter feel when you want it sporty. It also adds the adjustable leg supports which I find a necessity for my longer legs.
As “euroswagr” above, this is my wife’s car and she loves it, as do I. Before test driving it I was put off by the Q5 and the death of the wagon. However it didn’t take long to be impressed, especially with the 3.0T. It serves our needs 90% of the time for family adventures and the other 10% we put a box on the roof
