The newest order guide included details for the 2019 RS5 Coupe so I thought I'd go though it and see what has changed between 2018 and 2019. Hopefully these will apply to the 2019 RS5 Sportback too.

2019 vs 2018 - RS5 Coupe Differences (US Spec)
=======================================

• 2019 Base includes the Navigation Package from 2018
• 2019 Base includes Audi Phone Box
• 2019 Base includes Direct TPMS instead of being part of the Dynamic Plus Package in 2018
• 2019 has LED headlights and taillights with dynamic turn signals (not listed in the order sheet from 2018 but I'm pretty sure it had these too?)
• 2019 Base lists RS Sport Suspension vs 2018 listing RS fixed suspension (likely the same thing?)
• 2019's RS Driver Assistance Package now includes Park Steering Assist
• 2019 has High-Gloss Black exterior mirror covers in the Black Optic Package. In 2018 they were body color
• 2019 now has Black Optic Carbon Package and a Matte Alu-Optic Carbon Package
  • Basically gives you carbon exterior mirror covers, real lip spoiler, front spoiler and side trim
• 2019 also has the option to get black Audi rings and badges and a heated steering wheel (no flat bottom)
• 2019 has the same wheel options as 2018 + a silver only version of the 20" 5-arm-trapezoid wheels
• All other options / features look to be the same except as noted above
• No new seating or exterior color options in 2019

I think that's everything..

I would have liked to have had the exterior CF package available. Did my mirrors with OEM CF covers, but they were expensive. Would have loved the black badges...again, did my rear ones with OEM parts from Audi (these were not overly expensive).

I'm liking the fully silver trapezoid wheels. Wonder how they'll look in pictures.

I like the body colored mirrors with the black optics package myself. I am not a fan of high gloss black on mirrors or how Porsche does on door handles. To each his own. The carbon fiber package was listed in Canada for 2018 and pretty expensive, I did not look to see if anyone has a price for that in the US yet, but I imagine it won't be cheap...

Having the bi-colored 20s on my 2018 version, I would think they have more depth than the pure silver. The black inset ridges don't show as much brake dust as you might think. Agree with having to see the new ones in a color pic.

I saw pictures of those on some euro spec models, will try to find it later.

I prefer them blacked out. Looks better in my opinion.

I personally like the 2-tone / blacked out ones better myself.
