Default Power liftgate in Q5 Premium?

I'm looking at preowned Q5s and trying to keep the cost down. I noticed that while the power liftgate is standard on premium plus, it is an option as well in the premium cars. However, descriptions of the cars rarely mention it. Is this one of those "options" that every car ships with, an extremely rare one or somewhere in between? In other words, should I bother trying to find a Q5 premium with power liftgate or is it a needle in a haystack? Thanks!

I believe it is standard for 2015 premium but not possible to get without premium plus in prior years. When I looked at 2014s I believe I was told that only premium plus would have it. --- my knowledge is us based only.

I'm pretty sure Komfort (= Premium) didn't have it for 2014. Not sure about 2015.

jeff-
If 'mo' means you are in the showme state, as I recall you MUST order the P+ package in the US in order to get the power liftgate. (Through 2014 model, at least.)
Which is convenient, but it is POWER ONLY with no manual override. Caveat Emptor.
