Default Out with the Old; In with the BLUE!

Well, after a little over 2 years and 22,000 miles with my 2023 Glacier White SQ7, I got the itch. It turned into a full-blown infection when I came across this brand new 2025 SQ7 in Audi Exclusive Sepang Blue Pearl [drool]. It may very well be a 1-of-1 from what I can tell. I reached out to AoA's "Customer Experience Center" to see if they can provide production numbers; still waiting to hear back. The color is amazing...pictures do not come close to doing it justice. Ascari is a beautiful color in its own right, but this is in a different league, in my totally biased opinion. Barely made it home from the dealer before I swapped the Q8 rotor replica wheels from the Glacier car which totally transformed the look. The OEM "Multispoke-S design wheels" will be available in the Marketplace soon if anyone is interested (w/ center caps and TPMS sensors; no tires).

I'm really impressed with the active roll stabilization with the S Sport package. It's almost spooky how flat this big, heavy car will move through a corner, but it's very confidence inspiring. All in all, very happy with the switch and the old car was already an extremely impressive automobile. It's available as a CPO at Audi Sugar Land in TX if anyone is looking. Zero incidents, pristine condition, meticulously maintained and fresh tires. Let me know if you have any questions about it; happy to field.

I thought this was going to be about an oil change.

Thanks! Yep, air is standard on every SQ7. That’s stock ride height in Dynamic mode in the last shot. My ‘23 was dropped via VCDS 10mm F / 15mm R, but this one looks lower to me so I may leave it stock ride height. We’ll see.
