Default Does the 19 SQ5 have adaptive headlights?

My '16 Prestige has them. Does anyone know whether the 19 version have the adaptive headlights?
Thank you in advance.

My 14 Prestige did as well but I don’t know if LED’s are adaptive like the Xenon’s were. My Cayenne weren’t adaptive and I don’t think my 19 SQ’s are either.

My 2018 SQ5 has cornering lights but not adaptive (the lights don't move). I'm pretty sure it is the same for the 2019 year. They do have adaptive high beams.

The cornering light is actually the all-weather light, because those throw the beam sideways. On a side note, I’ve seen the left or right fog lights double as cornering lights on the small Jeeps (Compass or Renegade). Pretty common “feature” on most cars in Italy, when I lived there.

My matrix LED lights are adaptive, as in masking off areas and throwing light in different directions.
Strange that they are fitted in Mexico but can't make it across into the US.

I've noticed that on my Q5 ('19 P+ with full LEDs), it performs a diagnostic check on startup similar to my old Tiguan with adaptive headlights - you can see the lights pivot as the car's starting if you're in a dark area. Not sure if that's indicative of anything?

Wouldn't they have to be adaptive for the cars equipped with air suspension that change their ride height?
