Thanks. If I'm in New York and order in April, how long should I expect to wait for delivery?

I am hoping a few of the updates the a6 recieved for 2016 will trickle down to the SQ5 for 2016. Not likely but it is good to be hopeful

I'm not sure for SQ5 TFSI, but in Germany and some other EU countries started sale new engine 2.0TFSI 185 kW (252 PS) and 3.0TFSI, 245 kW (333 PS)

For RoW model SQ5 TDI 230 kW (313 PS) stayed the same, although Audi has a new engine 3.0TDI 240 kW (326 PS)

from motortrend, although a quick search would reveal it in several places
2016 Audi Q5, 2017 BMW X3 Will Get New Engine Tech - Motor Trend WOT

2016 Audi Q5
The 2016 Audi Q5 will move to the new lightweight MLB-evo platform, which Audi says will improve fuel efficiency and handling. Audi will offer the Q5 with a 245-hp 2.0-liter gas turbo or a 190-hp 2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine as well as a 272-hp 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6. There is also talk of a triple-turbo 3.0-liter TDI with 354 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. The third turbo is said to be an electric compressor for off-the-line power. An Audi Q5 e-tron quattro ultra will use a plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a 252-hp 2.0-liter turbo I-4 with a 109-hp electric motor.

because i didn't get that much info in the other thread and i saw that this thread was much busier? what's wrong with it?

See date: July 14, 2014 WOW

This is journalistic speculation and nonsense for a brand new Q5 not for actual Q/SQ5

SQ5 TDI third turbo is not for the US market

The new model comes late 2016 and will be MY2017

Bye-bye

i only gave one link but if you care to spend 2mins on googling it you'll see that that info is allover. that's why i posed this question in this forum to get more info right?

i'm liking the Q5 but not in a hurry to getit soon so that's why i was researching the 2016 model and would get the 3.0 TFSI if ever.

if what you know is different and so sure of it then please post links instead of being an *** out of it.
