Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

My dealer is projecting a June delivery date for any custom orders. Does anyone have an ETA if you pre-ordered?

Thanks

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I pre-ordered in January and was originally told I should receive it in April. The latest news I received is that it would now be delivered in June. Really frustrating.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Yes indeed... and I have no idea if it might be late June :(

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I don't understand what the problem is, the factory has been up an running since September. I am excited to get the new car. First time I'm doing a factory order and took it fully loaded with the brown interior. I didn't take the SLine this time because I didn't like the options associated with it. What are you getting.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Opted for a Technik S-Line in Red. The color choice required a factory order. I did not opt for the heads up display but got everything else. Can't wait :)

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Ordered mine mid-Feb at which point I was told May delivery... Recently was told it was scheduled to go in to production on April 23rd and they are still targeting end of May delivery, but doubt that.

Ordered the Technik w/S-line in white.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

This is good info. I don't know the build date for mine but I ordered in January. I hope it's a May ETA for me instead of late June. Perhaps the color choice dictates the build schedule.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Not sure if anyone knows the timeline for Q5 production? April 23rd(ish) +Production timeline + time to ship from Mexico to Ontario = I just assumed it's more than 4 weeks, which is what it would take to get here for May. Hoping my assumptions are wrong, as I would like to get in May vs June... or late June:(

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I placed my order late January and have production scheduled originally for week of May 8. Now it moved to May 15. On top of that 3~4 weeks of delivery time to Poland. Seems we are here not priority market :(

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I need to ask my dealer about the build date. I have not received any updates since January and only informed of a "late May/June" ETA.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I went in for the test drive and loved the overall experience. I think I made the right choice to opt for Tecnik because the virtual display is pretty slick. My build date is week 16 which should be in two weeks. That means I should get my car towards beginning June.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I also received an update that my car would be built on week 16 and completed by April 25. I'm hoping ithe information is right. It is frustrating that I can't get definitive updates from my dealer on when it will be delivered.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Being told now it could be early June... still hoping for May...:-(

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I ordered mine in January and received word last week it was completed on April 26. Audi's system say June 5 delivery, dealer has told me May 15. I should know on Monday. Will miss my current Q5 but am excited for the new one.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Thats great. I just got word from my dealer today that my Q5 is in transit from the factory. It was completed on April 26 (Week 16 build). However, he is saying first week June delivery.
I saw a White S-Line in the wild today. I first didn't notice it but the sequential turn signal gave it away.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Question for all. Is anyone considering an extended warranty? If yes, any idea on price

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Wiz, it's great to hear about your Q5. It appears both of ours were completed on the same day. I opted out of the SLine this time. I really didn't want the 20inch wheels and black seat. Mine delivery date is also scheduled for first week of June. However my dealer has told me that they are expecting the delivery around May 15. They are going to confirm tomorrow. Where are you located? I am in Toronto.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Hope that my dealer can manage mid May as well. I am based in Ottawa. Will let you know if I get more info.

2018 Q5 Progressiv with LED lights

Int: Nougat Brown

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

With a production date of 04/23, I assume I am 1 week behind you.... my dealer is on the north end of the GTA... how about you?

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

You're a couple of days behind me on the build. I'm east GTA. Audi's delivery systems are frustrating and still can't get a definitive delivery date. Hoping to get an answer soon.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Ordered may 8th, delivery late July, no production date yet.

Technik S-Line Navarra Blue.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Saw a silver S-Line in Kanata today. Looked sick!!!

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I ordered a 2018 SQ5 at the end of February, I was initially told end of May beginning of June. I've now been told July... :(
The dealer has been awesome though, and will be giving me a loaner tomorrow until my SQ5 arrives.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I am still trying to get a definite date for mine. I keep seeing the new Q5s all over town and it sucks to have put in the deposit back in January but still not top of the queue.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Feel your pain... I just got the following dates:
Completed Production: May 5th
Shipped out date: May 18th (guess my car took a beach vaca for 2 weeks...)
Port Delivery (expected): June 13th at which point it would get trucked out to my dealer.

I think 26 days from Mexico to Toronto (or Vancouver, if that's the port) seems excessive! I could have driven there and back in 10 days if I took my time...

Let's hope they shave some time off the shipping dates...

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

On a side note... anyone notice the premium some dealers are charging for Q5's currently in stock? I saw Prestige models with asking price higher than Technik models configured online...

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I will say, the ordering part has been a very frustrating process. I expected more from a premium auto manufacturer. My completion date was April 26. Port delivery date June 6. Couldn't get an answer why it takes 6 weeks to get to Toronto. Good news is I received an email from my dealer advising me that the car arrived in Toronto on May 20. They still don't know when they will receive it.
Looking forward to the end of the saga and into the new Q5.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Was told by dealer than when the car arrives at the "port" it takes about a week or two to get it at the dealer for delivery. hang in there!!
:p

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

OK, just received an update. Apparently there are a bunch of Q5s at the port for some time awaiting "quality checks". Not sure what that means and who is supposed to do a quality check after the vehicle has left the factory and arrived in Canada. No timeframe for when these "checks" will be completed. My car has been at the port for over 2 weeks now and not released to the dealer yet.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Wiz, thanks for the update the info is great. Don't know how you got the information as my dealer has gone quiet. I am really surprised by Audi and the lack of clarity/respond on the delivery process. Not very good at managing customer expectations. Hopefully will get a positive response on my car soon

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I find it hard to believe that a "quality check" could not be done before the vehicles left the factory or at a local dealership with trained techs. Is Audi sending techs to the port and do they have a garage with the diagnostic computers available. Its BS.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

That's awesome! make sure you post some pics when you get the car!

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Could be gov't safety/regulatory related checks, i.e. daytime running lights, emissions and safety, certification, etc. Still sucks!

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Absolutely will.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

I would hope that these types of quality checks, if that's what the issue is would have been done long before reaching Canada. And if they really need to do something engage more people to get it done. They have customers waiting. Into month 5 now since I ordered.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Hi guys, so the hold is in place by Audi Canada and not the dealers, hence the lack of information. Apparently they need to change some parts and all of the Q5 lot is grounded. That doesn't sound good at all.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Hey Wiz, how reliable is your source. Given my experience sound like something is going on. I found out today that Audi system shows my car was pickup for delivery on the 26th and delivered on the 28th. It is also showing an error on the delivery date. I talked to my dealer and they are completely in the dark. And Audi does not appear to be responsive or providie them with with updates. So frustrating!

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Frustrating indeed.
The person (my source) has been fairly reliable in terms of timeline estimates and updates. I think we need to escalate to Audi Canada. I will drop them an email to express my frustration.

Re: Did anyone order the 2018 Q5
 

Wiz your source is solid. Here's the latest update from Audi. "All 2018 Q5 are on quality hold, No ETA at the moment You will be informed once we have more details". Needless to say I find this disconcerting. Looks like Audi has screwed up the release of Q5 in North America. For the first time, I am now concerned with buying a new Q5 model manufactured in a new factory.
