      The SQ5 (and many other bigger cars) are Diesels in Europe. A lot of customers complained about the exhaust tips getting really dirty over a short time (and not easy to clean), so they mostly avoid visible exhaust tips. My guess is they didn't bother to manufacture a completly new rear bumper + exhaust just for the NA market.

    We just bought a 2023 Q5 TFSI 55 S-Line Hybrid and couldnt be happier. Its got a single muffler dual exaust but yeah the bumper fake is still there. 264hp 0-60 in 5 seconds. Its the first luxury suv (or car) that we have ever owned so its fun for us and still practical. Right now getting 34 mpg as well, small 43mile range for the electric though which could also be better. Overall we love it SO FAR....i say that cause we literally just bought it and havent driven it as much as we need to yet. And it came in at 60k and change

    The one you tested was missing some key features. The air suspension comes with the sport differential, which is a big change in the handling. Some of the drivers assist features were missing (there are additional sensors that go in the grill) so I don't think this one had the full automated cruise control. There is a Audi provided option to turn the fake exhaust in to real exhaust, It's about $1200 from Audi. They should have included that from the factory, with all of the hate that they are getting for that.
