Missing the old MMI controls also make the center console looks a bit plain.

They should've moved the cupholders more towards the rear, and made a larger compartment in front of it to hold sunglasses, cell phone, etc.

Also, I was hoping they'd now have a front armrest that completely covers the console bin.

I'm not in any hurry to replace my '17. It's not a terrible facelift, but I think I like the old version better. Let's hope Audi figures out touch and redundant manual MMI controls for the next next one.

The front I would have to see in person to judge It, only thing I want is touchscreen MMI and the wireless apple car play.
Honestly I’m glad I just got my 2019. I really don’t like the front of the car and that MMI looks huge. Not a big fan of the updates.

I think the original design has more presence and looks meaner.

I think I am 99% sure I'll get 2019 now... The only thing will change my mind is if Avant 2020 magically comes to the US.

Not impressed:
1. The fake vent above the grille. Does not say classic Quattro, it says ugly.
2. The character line from the hood that just randomly ends in the doors now.
3. Glossy piano black was universally detested in Cadillacs so Audi decides to copy.
4. Too bad MMI screen was not touch and MMI controller.
5. Added massaging seats, but tilt/telescoping steering wheel is manual still. Is the sedan trunk close still manual?

What I liked:
1. The updated virtual cockpit looks good. I can't tell if they integrated the fuel, temp and turn signals into the digital screen. Never made sense to me why they were separate.
2. Massaging seats
3. I think the rear end looks better
