2012 Audi Q5 Specifications for Canada
 

Some changes to the S-Line package. Other than that, it's pretty much the same as 2011. No pricing yet.

Looks like Sline now gets Audi Drive Select controls (the S4/S5 models always got those with rear sport diff package). It's not bad. This will probably drive the Sline package price up.

It's interesting that ADS will no longer be available as a stand-alone option. It was a pricey-enough item as it was without being part of the S line package. Seeing how hesitant many buyers were to pony up for ADS it is going to be a tough sell for the S line pack if there is no choice. That said, after working with the Audi Drive Select for a couple of weeks since receiving my Q5 I am glad I ordered it.

I see they have axed (among others) the Meteor Grey paint as well. That had seemed to be a popular colour.

One thing to note is that the ADS you get as part of the Sline package here is similar to the ADS you get as part of the sports diff package on the S4/S5. With this ADS you do not get the "suspension adjustment" option. Which you get with the expensive Audi Drive Select feature.

Any news on 2012 Special order options?

Re: 2012 Audi Q5 Specifications for Canada
 

Any links to colour swatches for the new grey, blue and white? My first choice was Quartz grey but it's discontinued for 2012. My dealer says we need to place the order soon.
Thanks.

Quartz gray is so gorgeous on the Q5. You can try lava gray.

Re: 2012 Audi Q5 Specifications for Canada
 

No, with S line, you get the dampening suspension which is in the full ADS package. What is not in the S line is the dynamic steering which changes the steering ratio. Dynamic steering is also the most expensive part of ADS so this package price won't change much.

That's odd. I don't have the full ADS package I have the sport diff on my S4 but I get the dynamic steering. I don't see how dynamic steering can be the most expensive part of ADS. Oh well.
