Hi,

I am looking to order a new SQ5 very soon and wanted your thoughts on which colour would be best - Glacier white or Daytona Grey?

Thanks.

Which do you prefer?

As Q5 Bob, said, preference matters. There aren't really bad choices. Gray, white and black colors may have slightly better resale value. Light colors are better in really sunny climates. Light colors are thought to be lower maintenance since they show less in terms of swirls and dirt. These are all factors I've seen people reference. Ultimately... what color car do you want to drive is the biggest factor.

I would also add that it seems like a lot of folks choose the Ibis White, so that may be worth considering along with the Glacier White. Daytona is an excellent gray if you haven't seen it in person.

I love my Glacier White, but Daytona is certainly my next choice. Excellent color choices!

I love Q5s in Glacier White, but for an SQ5 I feel that *some* contrast is needed for the silver mirrors to pop, so I tend to prefer the darker colours.

Just one man's opinion.

White seems to well "nice", I prefer something a bit more menacing...

So given your two choices Daytona Grey for sure, Lava Grey is another good color

I'm putting in the order for SQ5 first week of April or so. I'm really stuck on color options both interior and exterior. I'm definitely ordering the prestige with Nappa leather and 21" wheels. However I can't decide between Daytona Grey or Glacier White exterior as well as whether I should go for magma red or all black nappa. Any opinions on maintenance and wear on these colors? This is going to be my first Audi coming from a 2013 Accord. Any pointers are appriciated.

Mine is Glacier White.

It looks beautiful in low light settings where you see the blue hint in the paint.

Also depends if you are getting high gloss black pack. If so, white provides more pop/contrast while gray is more subdued. Personally, I like the gray because it is darker.
