Default 2016 Q5 TDI Delivered

We took delivery today of our Q5 TDI. We originally ordered it, but our dealership was able to locate one at another dealership and perform an inventory swap. This is our first Audi after many years of Saab ownership.

For some reason this doesn't seem to be a popular color combination, but it looks stunning to me. It is Utopia Blue Metalic with the Titanium Gray interior. We chose the technology and luxury packages, and the vehicle also came with the 20-inch wheel package. I took a couple of quick pictures.

I don't see a lot of utopia blue near me, but I think that color combo works great, and I like the wheels too. Looks great. Enjoy.

Congrats and welcome to the TDI club.

I assume those 20" wheels have summer tires. What is the plan for the winter. Not sure how cold it gets in your neck of the woods.

I also like that Utopia Blue. Nice combo.

I have those 20" wheels with Daytona Grey. I really like the look.

I picked my 2015 3.0T in March in Buffalo NY with snow on the ground area so dealer swapped out the summers. They let me keep the summers but I was annoyed they put all-seasons, not winters. I'll prob just swap between those rather than invest in winters.

Yes, they are summer tires. I'm along the coast in California and it rarely gets down to freezing overnight. That cold white stuff is unheard of here - rain too for that matter recently. The chance of me driving to the snow hovers right around zero...

Later today, I promise. The ones I took yesterday didn't show the color properly. We love the ventilated seats. It was in the mid-90's yesterday in Santa Barbara and they came in very handy for the drive home.
