The ones in the photograph are the Digital fit mats. They take the place of the carpet mats. The main drawback of the OEM winter mats is they have little to no lip around the edge, so if you track significant snow into the vehicle for example, the snow will melt and will likely leak onto the carpet when you're accelerating and braking (this is from someone else's perspective who owns the OEM winter mats on a different car).

I ordered these for my A4 online in Canada directly from WeatherTech and had no issues - will do so for my 15 Q5 3.0 (once it is delivered!).

I agree. I found that the OEM winter mats didn't cover much of the area on the drivers side front seat under the pedals, and coming from a winter climate, the carpet would be coated in salt before the season was over.

I agree, but the OEM trunk mat is better than Weathertech.

Get floors liners from WT, but trunk mat at your Audi dealership (or online).

Better fitment. Always prefer OEM products if possible.
4 holes can be made to keep using attach points for nets or else.
Easier to clean when dirty.

All-weather mats choice seems more controversial between Audi's and WT's, but for cargo mat, people in general seems to prefer OEM.

I could be wrong, but my preference is : WT liners, and OEM cargo mat.

WeatherTech front and rear and cargo area in the Q, front's only in my wife's A3, and my daughters car as well. Great fit, easy to clean. Cargo area retains the four tie down spots on the cargo floor, and 1" lip keeps the wet stuff on the mat.

I liked them better than what Audi was offering.

I've found nothing better for keeping the white salt ring out of the footwells in a Canadian winter.
