Default Mexico vs Germany

I just was given my Vin for my new SQ5 and it starts with WA1. Does this mean it was manufactured in Germany? I thought all SQ5's for US Market were built in Mexico?

They are made in Mexico. This (WA1) is Audi speak for SUV.

Yes, for MY2018, all Q5's and SQ5's are built in Mexico. However, your SQ5's engine is still built in Europe. I forget which Audi/VW plant builds it.

Thank you. Looks like motor is a plant in Slovakia from some VIN Reader I typed into. For a minute I thought I got some miracle of German assembly.

The SQ5 motor comes from Gyor, Hungary. The 2.0T for the Q5 is built in Mexico.
