FWIW SQ5 and you won't miss anything from your S5 and you will get the utility you want.

Exactly what I did. No regrets. Mostly. 😊

I have a 2015 SQ5 and have been very happy with it. When we were shopping we drove a MacanS (which my daughter has and loves) but the rear roof line cut into the storage area too much, an ML63 (now GL63) and it was harder for my wife to get into (she has a bad back) and it performed well, the X5 BMW which had a very hard ride due to the run flat tires, and a (don't flame me) Subaru Outback V-6 which was a nice car but I didn't like the transmission. The SQ5 was the best all around vehicle for the money. Had we not just spent over $100K for her E63S Estate, I most likely would have purchased the ML63. I just couldn't justify the additional $30K+.

If money is no issue, then I would try Macan S.

I don't think you would be disappointed with the SQ5.

Good Luck!
