Default Ventilated seats/sport suspension conflict

Is it no longer possible to get the sport suspension and ventilated seats? On the configurator the only sport suspension is with the black optics package and that package precludes ventilated seats. This is for A5 coupe and sportback.

If I remember correctly, the black optic package includes the sport package which includes the sport seats with red stitching. You can't get the sport seats with ventilation.

No, you can only get ventilation with sport seats.

Yes, it looks like ventilated seats cannot be combined with the Black Optics package. It's the interior pieces of the black optics package that preclude it. On the German configurator, the Black Optics package is separated into multiple parts. One part is the S line black interior package. As soon as you add it, the ventilated seats get removed. I'm guessing the leather seats with blue stitching are not made with perforated leather, so no seat ventilation option.

Not nice, Audi. Some may want the sport suspension without the black optics

I just checked the configurator and the OP is incorrect: The sport suspension is included with the 19" S Line wheel package, as was the case for 2018. Ventilated seats are also still an option for the sport seats without BO package.

So glad you are right!
Guess I too got confused. Not the best configurator I have seen, or I don't think in German...

I wouldn't trust the configurator much at this point and would instead form conclusions from the order guide.

That's correct on the sportback but on the coupe it doesn't say the sport suspension comes with the wheels.

It does in the order guide. So now summer tires are forced if you want sport suspension (black optic or 19in wheels) .
