Pretty close to the recent Autobild render

This is a ... mid-cycle refresh... of the B9, isn't it? It doesn't look like a full 'B10' redesign to me...

I wonder when this will be out. My lease will be up in July 2020; it would be nice to be able to get the facelifted model... (but unless they do an early MY2021 launch in North America it might not be)

... then again, I might just join the tall vehicle craze and get a Q5.

Word is late 2019/early 2020 in Europe so August/September 2020 US launch won’t be too far off. You can also extend your
lease for up to six month.

I've never heard of Audi Canada letting you extend your lease... may be a US-only thing.

I think Audi will allow an extension if you are waiting for your new Audi, but not just to let you keep the car longer and then not get another Audi. That being said, I have usually found myself not wanting to extend the lease because in those additional 6 months (or whatever) I would have to replace tires. I can’t wait to get out of the old one before it blows up.

I'm sorry, but I can't get into the facelifted front. Says to me, "We want our cars to look more like Subarus." Totally subjective, I know, but the expanded grills and harsh angles in the lower corners is not floating my boat...

I'm not a huge fan of the new front either, but another minor nose-job two years after this year's minor nose-job seems... kind of peculiar. Doesn't Audi typically do between 0 and 1 significant mid-cycle actions for a given generation? I suppose there could be significant interior upgrades for the MY21 refresh, but making minor changes to front and rear fascia every couple of years seems like an unusual strategy to me.
