Designed by Christian Winkelmann, Audi introduced the Q5 in April 2008 at the Beijing Auto Show and later in November of that year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Built to compete in the compact luxury crossover segment, the Q5 quickly became a popular model. It received a face-lift in 2012 followed by the debut of a second-generation design in 2018. In addition to the styling changes, the 2018 models saw the addition of the long-wheelbase Q5L added to the lineup.

This 2018 Audi SQ5 was sold new through Audi of San Diego. The car is finished in the optional shade of Daytona Gray pearl effect with a Black leather interior. This already luxurious SUV was further optioned with the desirable S sport package, Navigation package, Fine Nappa leather interior, Dynamic steering, 21-inch wheel package, Bang & Olufsen sound system with 3D sound, Carbon Atlas inlays, Audi Beam—Rings, Audi Guard All-Weather Floor Mats, Audi Guard Cargo Mat, and USB Cables—Lightning and micro-USB. The impressive list of options added $11,780 to the MSRP, giving the car a total price of $67,055.

According to the Audi’s CARFAX report, this is a one-owner example, residing in California for its entire life. The Audi has since covered only 8,234 miles from new, and on 4 April 2019 Audi of San Diego performed the 10,000-mile service. Upon recent inspection it should be noted the Audi has a chip in the windshield, the rear bumper exhibits some scratches, and the driver’s-side lower rear bumper light has a hairline crack. The SQ5 is accompanied by its owner’s manual and window sticker.

Audi has become one of the premier German luxury brands, joining the conversation with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. With its stunning design, luxurious options, and exhilarating performance, this SQ5 is the perfect foray into Audi ownership.

Please also note that Audi has issued an open recall to replace the car’s wheel liner and arch trim. This is a straightforward matter to rectify and can be addressed free of charge by an authorized Audi dealer.

Furthermore, this car is offered with its title in transit and may require additional time to process during the holidays. Collection of this car will take place from Culver City, California.
