Dumb question but why is it so hard to implement real quad exhaust pipes? is it because of emissions regulations? Surely all you have to do is get a double/single exhaust pipe and split it into 4 I don't get why manufacturers make fake ones

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.

I had a 2015 sq5 with "real" exhaust. The tips ended up pitted and black (bought the car used). However, even people who were meticulous with them still had similar issues. Personally I would rather have the fake tips on this than real ones. No maintenance.
The exhaust part was actually quite funny, wasn’t expecting that. They just glued 4 cylinders on the rear bumper 😂

I drove the 2019 model for a week as a rental car, and frankly, I struggle to find any real upgrades over the outgoing version: the styling is about the same, the interior looks almost identical, no change in terms of power, and very little new tech. Not a very compelling argument to "upgrade" to the 2021 model if you ask me.

Yeah it has some depth to the 'fake' exhaust which can easily be mistaken for real holes if not observed carefully.
The tires get inflated at the factory to handle four adults and their stuff. They ride better when the pressure is dropped down for lighter use. It's in the manual. The 20 inch option rides great BTW.
Red brakes are part of a Sport Package with air suspension and other mechanical enhancements. The black exterior features are part of the Black Optic package. It's an aluminum finish normally. The 21" wheels are an option above and beyond the standard 20" setup.
Nothing screams luxury like no navigation, a big fake grille, fake fog lights, and fake quad pipes...

Understated? How are they understated? They have more fake exhausts, vents and edgy corners than hondas.
A friend had an Audi with a transmission problem. The Audi dealer said it needed a new transmission, for $14,000. He found an independent mechanic who fixed the transmission for $60.

Wow! Doug, whenever I want to see a car reviewed by the best reviewer.... you. I always find it. Thanks for making the best car reviews!
I think people at Audi were drunk when they approved the fake exhausts...literally
Finally this car has been under appreciated
So pretty. I have a 2018 and I love everything about it, except for the low profile tires that wear out too quickly!

When you put any year Sq5 or RSQ5 on lowering springs or fully adjustable suspension, they look like RS6 wagons. (Just slightly taller)
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

For real
Features which just aren’t specced in the specific car reviewed but are available to configure (like in this case missing navigation and cooled seats) shouldn’t influence the score (which I think they obviously do because he specifically mentioned them). Noticed this a few times and I think it would be just fair taking this into account.

Could not agree more. If Doug can’t find a loaded example of the car, he sure as heck shouldn’t be docking points because it doesn’t have some options ticked. 🤷♂️
In Europe this is definitely NOT considered a compact SUV. It is closer to full size/luxury segment. FYI

Doug, the windshield wiper adjustment is for the sensitivity of the rain sensing wipers not the intermittent adjustment you would see in traditional cars. My VW Atlas had rain sensing wipers and the adjustment was the same, you just set it once and let it do its thing.
dude - harsh ride? how in the hell did you fail to mention the FOUR different air suspension settings?? You know, like the comfort setting? jesus, what a huge omission.

If "fake it til' you make it" was a car.
Mr. Doug the single raindrop symbol in three raindrop is for the sensitivity of automatic windshield wipers in other words if you’re Three they will automatically turn on sooner
12:10 You never saw a movable wireless charger before because, any other company knows that wiring and movable parts are not a good combination. But, you know, it's an Audi and you will be visiting the dealer several times anyway.
Take your SQ5 to have them do the Stage 1 tune. Totally worth it!

I asked my Audi dealer about the SQ5’s fake exhaust pipes, he acted like it was no big deal, but I made a big stink about it, was able to get an extra 2k for my trade in, it is a fun car to drive!!
This exhaust trend is just atrocious and why of all manufactures are the "performance/luxury" brands the worst offenders?? You'd expect that after dropping $50-60k on a high performance variant of a luxury sports car, youd have a real one?

I am so glad you are finally reviewing this car. Thanks for what you do!
