That is almost exactly my car (except the sport back). Same colour and wheels s line. Spent 7 and a half hours driving down to Cornwall in it on Friday through traffic and we were all very comfortable but getting 44MPG due to the 40TDI MHEV that means at times the engine cuts out at 50-60 mph while cruising which means is so economical and is more nippy than the previous iteration. But it’s a fun car when in sport and using the flappy paddles.

Hi Ped Found your review very interesting. Last year I traded in my five year old SQ5 for same again😉 navarro blue, grey leather, pan roof, 21” diamond cur wheels, red callipers. Love the car, apart from the wretched iPad stuck on scree, fake exhaust. This is our work horse, towing 1800kg caravan, and twin axle car trailer. The unfashionable oil burner engine is superb in this role. In normal use not towing, find it very comfortable, and just eats the miles. My settings dynamic for engine, comfort for suspension, auto for exhaust (dynamic setting too wearing on long journey) I did consider the Macan but too expensive, and petrol only. Got a cracking deal from Yeovil Audi, so still an Audi fan after 40yrs😎
