Nope, that is Ara Blue, which was the intro color for both the S4 and S5. Navarra Blue is quite a bit darker and less appealing (IMO). Interestingly, the 2017 S3 has both Ara and Navarra Blue available, but S4 and S5 owners get fewer options while paying more.

Audi wants you to go Audi Exclusive to get that nice blue color you want :-)

Exactly. I too wanted that blue color at first but it is a very pricy option in the end. I think it is somewhere around 5000$CA...

Is the C$5k just for exterior paint? Or, does it include some Exclusive interior elements as well? If it is just paint, that is pricey! If I were to spend that much money for exclusivity, I would go for another kind of blue aside from Ara Blue or Sepang Blue which Audi has already offered as a standard color in some past and current model lines.

Somebody on the S4 b9 forum posted a price for audi exclusive paints. It was 3,900$ US. So that must be prety close to 5k canadian dollars and I believe it is just for the paint.

I can't prove it though. I'd have to ask my audi rep...

I'll go with Daytona Gray and save the $3900.

Audi Exclusive paint is just that.....paint. So it's a ton of money, and of course probably increases the resale value zero dollars in the end. It is in that $3,500 price range.

I considered a Audi Exclusive paint in Sepang Blue for my TT since it's only available on a TTS, but decided it was just a waste of money for me. It would be fun to have a custom-painted car color however. In the end, I'm still the rare owner of 1 of 16 Tango Red/Murillio Brown TT's in America.

Fun Fact: There were a total of 7 Audi Exclusive-painted cars sold for the 2016 model year for the TT model. That gives you an idea of how many people chose this order option. There

I really like how scuba blue looks on those pictures, but I think it does not look this deep on a bright sunny day.

I wonder how moonlight blue looks...
