Hi everyone!

Glad to be finally part of this community I'm currently waiting for my Q5 2018 progressive S-line package. While i'm waiting for it, the dealer lent me an Audi A4 2017. I'm totally in love with the acceleration of this vehicle, just amazing. I was wondering if I will notice any noticeable difference between the Q5 and A4?

Both the 2018 Q5 and 2017 A4 use the 2.0L Turbo, HP/Torque: 252/273 per the Audi website. The A4 curb weight is stated at 3626 lbs while the Q5 comes in at 4045 lbs, so I would imagine there will be some noticeable difference in acceleration between the A4 and Q5.

It's not like the A4

OHWHATDA

I test drove two Q5's today. The acceleration is good, but not as good as my 2017 A4, it doesn't knock you back in the seat as easily as the A4.

Currently waiting for my Q5 but i'm having HUGE buyer regret. I can still change my mind but I have the inner feeling i'm a guy that only love sedan/wagon/hatch and that I will regret the SUV feeling :S

You should change your mind. You have set yourself up to be disappointed. Get the A4 or start a new search from scratch.

I've been in the same camp. I have a 2014 Q5 with the lease coming up. Would really like the SQ5 but a bit more than I want to spend. I had the opportunity to get a 2017 model but decided against the old model.

Sportback looks really sharp. However, after being a bit higher off the ground with my Q5, I'm not sure If i want to go back to a car. Also, I have winter tires and wheels that I would be able to use on the new Q5.

Rear leg room will suffer a bit in the sportsback, if that matters

Almost didn't slept last night since I was so confuse with the Q5. At the end I made my decision with my emotion. When I look at the Q5 I don't feel much. It look practical, convenient, smart big, nice blablabla but nothing more. When you look at the A5 s-line you just feel it even if you can't describe it. Had the same feeling the first time I saw the US tv ads for the A5 ''pure imagination''.

Great choice! The A5 Sportback looks amazing and the hatch will be as practical as the one of the Q5 in my opinion. I just bought an A4 because I could not justify the difference in price and financing rates for a car that is essentially the same, but if you can afford it good for you!
