Exterior and Interior Styling??

When the Audi SQ5 TDI exclusive concept goes into limited production next year, it will feature the exclusive Aral Blue crystal effect exterior finish. Like any S model Audi, the exterior mirrors are finished in aluminium and xenon plus headlights and LED Daytime Running Light (DRLs) are fitted as standard. Four exhaust tailpipes dominate the rear-end.

The interior incorporates contrasting materials. The multifunction sports steering wheel and gear lever gaiter are finished in black fine Nappa leather with contrasting stitching in white, including the centre armrest and dashboard cover. The seats are also covered in fine Nappa leather with white stitching and woven leather is used on the centre section of the seats, a first for a production vehicle.

The Alcantara headlining, sunroof blind, inlays and door applications are finished in white. The inlays, with open-pored veneer, are natural grain ash while the door trims and entry sills feature exclusive Audi badges.
