I just don't understand Audi's war on exhaust tips. This is such a cheesy afterthought for thr quad-exhaust, which used to mean something "S" model Audis. Very disappointing, considering something like the VW products have the exhausts actually connected. And you can't get a lower trim because you get the super lame fake exhaust outlets. I dunno, the competition just seems to offer more, and the Genesis GV70 looks really promising. Its the small things that Audi misses here. On a fully loaded Prestige trim, you can't get cooled seats with beautiful quilted-leather seats. That is a luxury faux pas.
I love the car, but what the heck is with those extra exposed storage compartment on the console??? They look like a cheap after thought. I still love this car , waiting for sportback to hit the floor! This has been the best video on this car!
What a great SUV - beautiful in design & styling inside & out with horsepower to match. Very enjoyable review - loved the exhaust! Bet it was a great ride & tough to return! I did notice the quick flash of a parked white Tesla at the beginning! Hope you can do some updates on it. Mason looking increasingly distinguished with his emerging beard! You guys are great - stay safe & well.
I’m new to watching these guys but that seems like the “air ball“ to me. Other than that I look forward to getting one next year. This really fits all my needs and this review put it over top for me.
Very very nice. My nephews girlfriend just got a new Q7. I told him he needs to love her long time. At least until the warranty runs out anyway. 🤣 Love this, the Tiguan, and the Cupra Ateca for reasons I can't explain. I like the directions the VW Group are taking much better than anything I am seeing from BMW and Mercedes. Each design exercise from them seems to be trying to be too many things in one execution. I also believe those two manufacturers are wasting a tremendous amount of money by redesigning every one to two years. Thanks for another great video. Cheers.
My wife and I bought our first Mercedes E-Class 3 years ago for her so when I went to look for a new vehicle for myself in the past month I thought for sure I was going to buy a Mercedes and looked at and drove all of the G Series thinking it was a guarantee that I would fall in love but boy was I wrong. The only one that even remotely interested me was the GLC coupe but one thing that I could not get past was the 6 in or more of black textured plastic that goes around the entire lower section of the vehicle. It's that cheap look that within a very short period of time requires constant attention to continue looking black otherwise it has that gray ashy look. I tried hard to get over it but for the price I just couldn't do it. I did a lot of research online to find an alternate and try to give every company the benefit of the doubt and when I walked in the Audi dealer and saw this 2021 SQ5 I knew I just found exactly what I was looking for and when I drove it it was a done deal because I literally fell in love with it. I bought a White prestige model and in 2 weeks I can honestly say I have not come across a single CON. This vehicle looks the part and drives the part and isn't missing a single thing that I'm interested in. I LOVE MY SQ5!!!
Back with the exhaust tips!! Thanks for listening, Audi. Now, just get rid of that stupid looking attached infotainment screen and integrate it into the center console dash like the Macan.
I appreciate how much detail you go into on the features. My next car will be the Audi Q5 Sportback, which - thankfully - doesn't have the fake exhaust situation going on LOL
Nice SUV, kinda sad to know that the quad exhaust are fake. I mean, you've went as far to create the look, Audi. Why not just take the extra step and hook some pipes up to them? Nice review regardless!
They never show the 21inch rims. These look a bit different in Australia. I only ever see SQ5 with 22 inch or 21 inch like my 19 and more sporty look and it is the best car I have ever had. Mid size bullet. Need the flat steering wheel.
As always, great review guys. It absolutely pains me that Audi chose to desecrate such a beautiful vehicle with FAKE exhaust outlets!! I just don't get that...but otherwise, a beautiful luxury performance SUV!
pls sir pls do the tug of war between hyundai palisade or drag race between palisade all rivals, pls and u will get famous because only this is not happened in any YT channel, pls sir
@@CarConfections ok, you’re right. Doesn’t make any sense, but I looked up the Audi trannys and their S Tronic is dual clutch. I just figured if they did have a dual clutch in some vehicles, they’d never opt to have it in their less sporty models, while having a torque converter in their sportier models, but that’s exactly what they did and it makes no sense to me.
well, nice vehicle, but the jeep trackhawk will destroy it into pieces. also, i am looking at a tesla model 3 base model right hand drive as one of my dream cars.
@@CarConfections Cuz one of my life goals is to import a tesla model 3 from uk and feel glamorous driving it on the right side as its easier(for just me at least) to drive on the right side of the vehicle in the US. And I will feel an extra more empowered than if I was driving on the left side of the vehicle.
There it is! I knew there’d be an X3 M40i fan in here somewhere. I drove an SQ5 and really liked it. I drove an X3 M40i and brought it home the same day.

It is because they are unreliable.
Picked up a 2021 SQ5 prestige about a month ago in quantum grey and this review was part of what pushed me over the edge and i absolutely love it
Glad to hear that! Congrats!
audi's sweeping tail lights make me ascend to a spiritual realm every time i see them
Lol!

Howdy, great review as always y’all! I have to say, out of the big three (Audi, BMW, Mercedes) Audi is probably my favorite!😸😻
Mercedes is my favourite luxury car
Bmw my favourite luxury sport car
Audi my favourite sport car
If so, you better not test a GLC63.
@Timothy Dugan true I forgot
I just got mine! I’m obsessed 😍
How much are you paying if it's a lease?
I got mine in glazier white absolutely love it. An amazing suv.
Just got my 2021 SQ5, glacier white, red leather…real exhaust option.
Fabulous Audi SQ5 Review Ya Got There!! Happy Labor Day!!!
I’m glad you changed it back to what’s going on RUclips. People of RUclips doesn’t have the same ring to it. Like if you agree
💯 percent agree
Yes! More Audi reviews please!
I wish they would have done a better update on the interior on this, and the A4/A5. But I still love love love the SQ5.
I got my SQ5 tuned with APR, and it took my hp to 430. Worth it!
is that with the 91 or 93 tune?
love it guy's a Audi VW TRAGIC here and when you give her a bit you guys you went OOOOOO LOVED YOUR REACTION.
I love the car, but what the heck is with those extra exposed storage compartment on the console??? They look like a cheap after thought. I still love this car , waiting for sportback to hit the floor! This has been the best video on this car!

Tesla updates coming soon!
Awesome video! Glad you were able to get the latest SQ5 for a review! Love those engine burbbles 😎
I'd love Audi vehicles! I might buy this bro.
I like the pre refreshed model. It looks more aggressive. But then again I'm biased cause I have a 19'
I love that color!! I hope all is well guys!! Stay safe!! 👊👊🤔🤔
NARDO GREY ?...
wait wait wait wait. they had the nerve to but fake quads on a SQ5!!! Really Audi. really !!!!
Me too
I’m new to watching these guys but that seems like the “air ball“ to me. Other than that I look forward to getting one next year. This really fits all my needs and this review put it over top for me.
There is a port or dealer installed accessory hot exhaust pipe option
@Timothy Dugan is this an extra cost?
It’s extra

They don't waste money. Do you want engineers to sit for 2 years and do nothing?
On order!

Should have looked at the GLC 63s AMG. IMO it’s a much better car the pan the Audi.
Those cheap looking black bumper covers don’t belong on ANY vehicle let alone in this class. I agree, huge pet peeve!
Every Audi technical employee who agreed to the fake quad exhaust tips should be fired.
It still amazes me how similar all the German lineups are. This and the X3 M40i are much more similar than different.
Black optic package doesn’t black out Audi rings or exhaust tips/ thankfully this doesnt have the dual hideous rectangle grill sensors like the q8
😹
Wow the SQ5 put ur safety belts and fire up that awesome engine that's power love the sound of that engine and is fastttt
Great review. Unfortunately out of my price range. Take care. Thank you for posting video.
Its awesome
Also excellent review guys
Thanks! 😁
Factory real exhaust tips is optional now; the price is $1,250 before tax, dealers usually do 10% - 15% discounted for that.
Love it!!!
I actually have a 2020 q5 and I love it
Wow!
Nice ride
Tested it, one loaded with options. Great car and glorious drivetrain but let down by vague steering feel even in dynamic. Anyone else feels the same?
Back with the exhaust tips!! Thanks for listening, Audi. Now, just get rid of that stupid looking attached infotainment screen and integrate it into the center console dash like the Macan.

Thanks! Hopefully we will be able to review one of those soon as well 👍
My 2016 SQ5 black ops package is such an awesome car. But looks like I’m going to have to get this new one.
Mason is growing a beard!!
Hopefully you took this to the liquor barn afterward.
My fave interior color is the Magma Red quilted seats! Does the Audi have interior ambient lighting like the GLC, X3?
Yes, it's running underneath of the aluminum trim the whole length of the dash. Also around the center tunnel and door trims
Great video 👍🏻
Glad exhaust are real now
Uh.. it’s not.
@@chrisbland8839 I know it a joke, last model years were too
My bad. Sometimes it’s hard for the sarcasm to come through via text lol.
Nice review guys. Was this test model in Quantum Gray or Daytona Gray Pearl?
Thanks! It was Quantum Gray 👍
Nice, but I think I would opt for the Q5e. About the same performance as this but far more efficient, albeit less flashy and sporty.
Would be interesting if they could review a Q5 with that powertrain.
On 5:11 he can’t open the door lmao 😂
Me he comprado uno. En mayo o junio me llegara. La espera se hara larga.
My biggest pet peeve is when cars have black plastic bumpers on a white paint job lmao. Good thing this car does not have that.אמן
It works to an extent like the RAV4 but then there’s taking it to far like the Outback IMO!
@@ryanfrisby7389 The Outback is probably my limit as far as black cladding goes. The CX-30 has far too much for a subcompact SUV.
Do you not get the flat bottom steering wheel? Looks much better
Waiting for your SQ5 Sportback reveal/review.
I really love the 2021 Audi SQ5, it’s very nice! It sounds awesome!! I love the gray!
Me too!
@@ryanfrisby7389 😎
Notification Squad where y’all at!
Yo
What’s up?
Nice SUV, kinda sad to know that the quad exhaust are fake. I mean, you've went as far to create the look, Audi. Why not just take the extra step and hook some pipes up to them? Nice review regardless!
Like your video! So we can fully use matrix-LED now in US?
Thanks! Some of the functionality from Europe may still be disabled but the design is here now
I have just reçoive au Q5 TFSI E .... it is so dynamic
the way he opened that door lol
what's the color? is it quantum grey or nardo?
It's Quantum Gray but looks almost exactly the same as the Nardo gray
Wish you guys showed the different modes on camera because nobody else has done that yet.
Drive modes?
Oh no not the drive modes. The rear lights that can change their designs.
I don't like the bump on the floor in the back seat it could of been lower or completely flat
I swear I don’t know who is talking in the car 😂
Instill don’t get why the he’ll Audi cup holders are so small it’s like they only want you to be able to fit espresso shots in the damn things .
5:12 wtf did you do lmao
Is the Signature OLED Tail Light Package available in the US to add on for the Q5 as well or you would only get that package with the SQ5 Prestige??
As far as I can tell, that feature is exclusive to only the SQ5 Prestige
@@CarConfections Good to know, thank you so much for getting back to me on this. You videos are great man, keep it up! 😀
Get the real quad exhaust and it sounds even better!
They never show the 21inch rims. These look a bit different in Australia. I only ever see SQ5 with 22 inch or 21 inch like my 19 and more sporty look and it is the best car I have ever had. Mid size bullet. Need the flat steering wheel.
What's that noise when the car came to a complete stop? My brakes have been making that noise since I got mine..
Car Confections Although this was almost a year ago, What is the name of the exterior color? To me, it looks like Quantum Gray.
I believe that's what it is. Or it might have been Nardo gray which is very similar
@@CarConfections Thank You.. I'll continue my research.
As always, great review guys. It absolutely pains me that Audi chose to desecrate such a beautiful vehicle with FAKE exhaust outlets!! I just don't get that...but otherwise, a beautiful luxury performance SUV!
Thanks!
what is the name of this color?
Might as well make the exhaust real instead of pointing down.....why
it’s odd how some models ship to US soil with rear fogs & some don’t. i love mine lol. (yes i’m one of those when weather calls for it)
Anyone whose driven through Interstate 5 (The Grapevine) in Cal, knows the benefits of rear fog lights.
I also don't understand why Audi doesn't allow auto hold on U.S. models. Come on!
I'm torn between that and porsche macan gts!?
I really curious how it came in nardo grey , I didn’t get that option
This color is called Quantum Gray but it is very similar to Nardo
Video starts at 16:29
Ur bored 😂
Guys, does this car have fog lights? Can you turn on your fog lights in your next video so we can see what it looks like? Thanks
There aren't any fog lights but there are some "all-weather" lights which are just the extra bulb next to the headlight inside of the unit
Dope
I think i can hear b-cycle knocking effect. I hate this diesel like sound, but can't tell 100% with exhaust via video.
Please do a MDX VS CRV video.
What color is that
Quantum Gray
I’m like: oh they finally listened and removed fake exhaust
Two seconds later:
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
my 15 years old Audi has the same horsepower as the sq5
Where is the Elantra????
It'll be uploaded this weekend
Please review a lamborghini urus
It'll be hard for us to find one, but we will try!
Ok love you looking forward for it and review a 2020 urus when you drive it fills fun
Try calling the dobre brother watch a video then they will show their Instagram number
Then you will call them on instagram
so disappointed with the fake exhaust. Can't belive it actually happened on s q5. Really?
If Audi is going to put quad exhaust on there, why in the world would they not use it. The fake exhaust makes this car is a no go for me.
They just need to quit with the fake exhaust tips on the S models
Go for used BMW x3 M40i much better on all features
pls sir pls do the tug of war between hyundai palisade or drag race between palisade all rivals, pls and u will get famous because only this is not happened in any YT channel, pls sir
My father has an Audi Q7 2018
Good 👍
Very pricey for fake exhaust outlets. Embarrassing to be concise.
Honestly you’re paying for the engine and suspension
What's going to happened new SQ5 2024😢
The regular Q5 does not have a dual clutch transmission. No Audi uses a dual clutch.
Bet
@@CarConfections ok, you’re right. Doesn’t make any sense, but I looked up the Audi trannys and their S Tronic is dual clutch.

It´s a high performance AUDI..!! Why the fake exhaust tips?? Not even VW does that with their sport models. Como on..!
3:39 fake exhaust ，No
I agree, but at least they didnt get rid of styling.
Come on now. Fake exhaust vents, on a car that’s supposed to be the sport version?!?! That’s a new low🤦🏽♂️😂
Weird. Are these ugly double blinkers on the rear only for the SQ5 or is it US only? The Q5 doesn't have those (in EU) and it looks much better imo..
