Your jokes about the storage in the center console are hilarious. Never change, Joe. Never change.
Thanks my friend for saying that and letting me share the laughs with you.
They should’ve put the S badge with The red logo on the seats just to bring it out
AGREED!
@@RaitisRides I had it dyed red on my S3. Brought the whole interior out.
Dude, you come through in the clutch with the new videos a lot😎👍🏿
Thanks an for letting me bring it to you!
More Audi’s please! Nice review buddy!
You got it my friend!
appreciate the Audi history lesson many people don’t know about it :)
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate it!
@@RaitisRides yeah man u did a great review super sexy car
Ok o
1 month with my new 2020 SQ5 and so much fun! Nice review thanks for this amazing job!
Check my video out on 2020 audi sq5 ,price reveal also subscriber thx
How about now, 3 years later, how much has it cost you?
I have an Audi S3 and if I had those empty and curvey roads with the roundabouts I would spend all day just driving back and forth. Love your reviews!
I now how you feel! Thanks for letting me share these with you!
Same here. I’d be right there with ya in my Kia Stinger.
Love the videos and the passion you have for Audi. Cannot wait until you get behind the 2021 q5/sq5; hoping that'll be my upgrade from an A4
Thanks for a great review Joe!
You are so very welcome Denny!
great review Joe, thanks
Thanks Rich for letting me share it with you!
Nice review! Keep up the good work. Now I want to see your take on the new 2020 AMG GLA!!!
My very first Audi SUV!! Amazing job Joe.
I like Audi. Nice looking SUV. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Good job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are so very welcome Larry!
I like the fact that there are tons of aftermarket options for this particular platform, you can spend a little more money and make it more powerful.
What a wonderful review Joe! I would like one in a custom rainbow metallic 🤩
The wheels on that r8 in the back would look amazing on the SQ5
Great video Joe, I was wondering with tax time coming up if you could maybe do a video on recommended good used vehicles?
Thanks Victor! I will get something together.
Really nice machine buddy, probably the best in its category with the X3 M40i that’s another beast!
AGRED!
After 3 years owning (leasing) a Porsche Macan S - (which I loved) I was positive I would buy a new Macan until I compared price vs. drive and options on the SQ5 - I bought the Audi. I agree with everything said in this excellent video. A lot of bang for your buck - A lot less money for the same features and rating the Macan a 98 - I give this SQ5 a 95 - damn close.
Fantastic review,could you please do a review on that Blue R8 if possible
Love it. I’m going to get one tomorrow.
Can you review the BMW X4 M40i? Great review!
Nice vids dude!
You'll love it. Do an audi S8. Please. Any year
Your presentation stands out as one of the best and enlightening. Salesmen take note🤨. One observation though is that the audio and video are slightly out of sync. I'm a former '73 2002 Bimmer and recently proud owner of a '17 SQ5. Question for you, although your '20 SQ5 adjust height with the off-road select, would lowering the SUV via springs etc. improve the handling without compromising the stock set-up by Audi. I think minimizing that gap between the tire and frame would look even better as well. Your thoughts.....
Nice review Joe ...
Thanks Rich!
I have an SQ5 tuned by APR. It's the best car I've owned. APR turns it to a whole different animal. If you're thinking of getting one, you won't be disappointed.
Please do a review on 2020 Audi Q7. thanks
Aye 🙌 shout-out for remembering to turn on the DRLs 👌
Thanks for the reminder!
how you compare this audi sq5 vs Bmwx4m40i . which one is the best
Man I love your reviews best. You really work these vehicles and show their fine points. We have a 17 Q5, want a new Q7 but the SQ5 works for me...probably not the best for the wife. She is conservative. ;) Looking forward to more SUV reviews....primarily the 20 Q7.
Thanks Jeff! Thanks for sharing that great input fro your ownership!
Check my video out on 2020 audi sq5 ,price reveal also subscriber thx
Love your vids. Please more Audi, maybe rs5 coupe 👀👀
I will get them together for you.
Raiti's Rides thanks so much
Thanks as I'm due to turn in my wife's Q3 soon and wanted something more powerful for her even though she doesn't care about speed. Rati doing work in the latter half of review through those roundabouts. I thought you were in the GT 350R 🤠again.....
I this this SQ5 might be the right one to slip into! I would love to run a GT350R through those roundabouts!
Meatball sub w parm topping! Love your reviews Joe! But bummed about the MPGs on this nice car. A bit too lower than I was expecting...18/23. 😒
Thanks John for sharing the laughs with me. I can totally understand about the MPGs.
What’s the square between the vent and headlight? My curiosity is going crazy
Hey Joe - thanks so much for this video! Do you know if this is Daytona Gray paint with a black optics package? Is this the Prestige/Technik trim?
This is Daytona Gray and this is a prestige trim.
This looks more Manhattan than Daytona?
SQ5 was once THE compact lux SUV to get ... but competition caught up and surpassed AUDI sq5 ....
Great review as always
This is true. We will see where they take it.
I having Q5, can you tell me how to use camera turn right? It help me change lane 😂 more easy.
VW seriously needs to apply some of their Macan S/SQ5 performance love to the Tiguan like asap. I own the Macan S... have driven the SQ5.. sweet ride but agreed the fake exhaust outlets totally un necessary.. very un “S” like... those bigass stuck on touchscreens are not going to age well either. Kickass review, if the engine wasn’t broken in prior to RR it’s definitely broken in NOW damn it 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Joe, what's your favorite thing about the cars you review?
Joe - 'Door Panels'
Joe which one do you prefer?
Audi q5/q7 or mercedez benz glc 300?
My body is ready for the zonks
There are a few to be given. ;-)
No zonks on this one for me brother! I really like it
I had a feeling you would.
Great review. Few zonks here and there but overall a fun daily driver
I totally agree with you!
You should've reviewed that R8 that was behind you
the zonk for me is when you put your logo on the speed also maybe change the view so its first person instead
I love your enthusiasm and love this review. But what's with your logo covering up the dash ? That's a shame we only saw your logo and not that great dash cockpit.
Great review and going over the details!! Of note, the engine is supercharged, but for years they use a 3.0T badge, weird right ? Keep up the good work!!
J Mendola the engine is now turbocharged. Yes, it was weird that they used the 3.0T when the engine was supercharged.
Good new is it's turbocharged now.
@@Cgee3 thanks for the assist.
Raiti's Rides oh wow, good to know. Thanks
Absolute beauty.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Great video Joe keep doing what you do man, enough space for a 12" sub 😆, you be killing me man, take care.
Will there be a "sportback" model?
I was hoping Audi would've upgraded to the new dual infotainment screens, but this color and wheel combo are 💥
Yes sir!
Joe, you reckon you'll be able to review the new RS6 Avant any time soon?
As soon as it hits the dealership.
Seats are one of the best in it’s class.
This one has a black optics package thats why it has all the gloss black its normally chrome
Awesome!!
I am so glad that you are loving this one.
Literally my car (except not the black package), gotta try the meatball sub in the side pocket now. Haha.
Would you go for this or GLB amg?
yes just picked up an 2020 SQ5 prestige and it worth the price
Thanks for sharing that input from your experience!
Can you do a Velar SVAutobiography?
So Joe from a performance pleasing prospective which one would you pick? Audi SQ5 or Jaguar F-Pace SVR?
I would go with the Jaguar SVR! That thing is a beast!
Back in the days I had a 2005 A6- and it had ambient lighting while driving inside along the foot wells etc.
I don’t know why they done away with it. Would be nice with these suvs- we have a ‘16 q5 and love it
I drove a moonlight blue one 2 wks ago.. same options.
Amazing.. great motor very snotty and full of power.
My only complaint: Nothing
Great video
Thanks for the great input and for the compliment! I really appreciate it!
This vehicle has customizable color ambient lighting inside the vehicle at night. It's amazing and includes the rear seats.
Great review, how does the Audi Q 3 compare
It is smaller and slower.
I miss the one piece seats from the S4. Hate how they shorted the SQ in that aspect
Please review a s5 sportback
Imagine a white exterior, red interior and black wheels 🔥🔥, and great reviews Joe
Now we are talking! You have very good taste!
"We've got the cops on the way, they know what's going on..."
Cops- "Joe can we get an autograph?!"
You are hilarious!
Joe got the best hand movements in the game...lol
I love the black optic package. I just don’t like the wheels. They should’ve given a black optic treatment to the 21” wheels you can get.
Great video, however I feel like maybe you could do some more research as far as packages or things that can be added. For example depending on the seats/material design you choose you cant get cooled seats. But you can get heated seats on any seat. And that's for all audi sport models. Based on this video I would think I cant get cooled seats but I can I just cant get those seats with it. Also the RS cars are the only ones that get those big oval exhausts. I do agree with the fake exhaust Q5 have.
I am not looking at packages I am looking at price and what you get. Yes there are more expensive pkgs that give you more but at the price point of this vehicle there should be ventilated seats and with it being a "S" model there should be functioning exhausts. Thanks for your feedback and input.
@@RaitisRides so your car reviews are more of a "this specific car" review? I'm a new subscriber so I'm just trying to understand the way you do your reviews.
Lol door pockets. Gives a new meaning to them being sub-standard
I’m glad they didn’t put that hexagon screen thing in this car
that center screen ruined it for me Joe. Great review as usual!
I can totally understand where you are coming from.
Can you please review a Lamborghini svj ?????
Decisions, decisions. Love my 2019 SQ5, but like the CT4-V after seeing your review. Help!!!!!!! lol
Please review the GLC 43
I will try to get that together Patrick.
@@RaitisRides I'm in MN but you can drive mine if you want.
Thank you for posting this Patrick. I was reading a comparison review between the SQ5, GLC 43 and the Macan by Car and Driver Magazine. The Mercedes surprisingly won the comparison. The article said that the Merc flat outdid the Audi performance wise.
My next buy @ Xmas... Costs $100k in Australia...
No real exhaust tips is a definite zonk, but the oval tips are reserved for the RS models and the R8 only
Nice
Good looking suv, just needs blacked out emblems and it is set. Have to zonk the wheel designs, they don’t look as nice as the previous version of the sq5 wheels.
This is true.
My 2023 was worth it to me. I got $10k off MSRP and think I will enjoy it (up to 500 miles now on break in). Would love to have a Macan S but not for $20k more and with the higher maintenance costs. The other 6’s I drove like the M40i and GV70 3.5 were too brutish for my tastes and if I had to buy a Genesis, I would get the 2.5. I am also not a big enough jerk to drive a BMW I think. Mercedes is out…just because
I know it’s an old car suggestion, but can you review the Infiniti G37 sedan or coupe please??
I need to track one down and get it for you.
Raiti's Rides would really appreciate it Joe!
How's your morning Joe? and also Good Morning to you.
Good Morning Tom! It is great! Chilly but sunny outside. How about you?
@@RaitisRides Pretty Good. Just watching some morning TV.
@@stellantistom6881 Cool!
I really wish auto makers would get rid of that mouse pad for infotainment controls. It's too distracting to use efficiently while driving.
This vehicle or a infiniti qx50?
This guy loved knowing about auto union
This is so very true!
Not a fan of no real exhaust. At least for 2021 sq5 they put round tips so it looks almost real. Nonetheless, great overview and vid!
I totally understand where you are coming from!
I'm here for the Twinkies lol
I have a box or you!
what is the front legroom in the Audi Q5?
That is a great question.
It looks amazing in this color
I totally agree with you!
It's all good
Yes sir!
That's quite a bit of change for the size that it is. It's pretty though.
I am so glad that you like this one.
😂😂 No muffler that broke my heart. So zonk
AGREED!
For real. Audi needs to fire whoever made that decision. How you gonna make a performance model and hide the damn exhaust. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
The saving grace is that at least the exhaust sounds good. It’s just lame they did the fake outlets to an S product.
Hey my brother checking in
Hi man! I hope you are having a good day!
9:57 is that what “not a touchscreen” means?
Pretty much!
I could get a great deal with a certified pre-owned SQ5 with low mileage. I will definitely look into it.
You shoudl!
A nice white one is in my future...lol!
I'm liking this Audi ....
My favorite German brand.
I have an S5 and the SQ5 (for bad weather). My S5 exhaust tips get black and ugly quickly. I like not having to clean exhaust outlets on my SQ5. Just my 2 cents worth.
So just don't show anything or have black exhaust tips.
How are these roads empty???
The SQ5 looks pretty good, but that infotainment system definitely isn't for me, especially since I test drove my aunt's 2017 Q5. Regardless, I'd probably go for the Q8 😂👍🏻
And how deep is the throttle pedal? It was a major zonk for me when I test drove that Q5 I mentioned earlier.
And great vid, as always, Joe!
Good call! I can't wait to get my hands on a RSQ8!
I was going to comment on that as well. The 2019 SQ5 I drove had terrible throttle response in all drive modes. A deal breaker IMO. No mention of that here. Maybe they fixed it for 2020?
@@darrell9616 They must of! If I have a chance to drive a 2015 I will compare it.
