Help me pick: 2024 Q5 PHEV CPO — Premium Plus vs Prestige ($900 difference)
Hey everyone, torn between two 2024 CPO Q5 55 TFSI e options and could use some feedback—especially from anyone with kids or experience with the air suspension.
Option 1: Premium Plus (~$44.5k OTD)
Color: Black / Okapi Brown leather
Packages: Warm Weather Pkg, Black Optic Pkg, 20" wheels w/ All-Seasons
Original MSRP: ~$67.4k
Option 2: Prestige (~$45.4k OTD — +$900 difference)
Color: Glacier White / Black interior
Packages: Prestige Pkg, Sport Plus Pkg, Black Optic Plus
Tires: Summer performance tires
Original MSRP: ~$74.7k
The original MSRP gap was over $7k, so getting a Prestige w/ Sport Plus for $900 more feels like a no-brainer on paper.
My main hesitations:
The Seats & Kids: We have young kids. Sport Plus swaps the full leather for Dinamica suede inserts (and deletes seat ventilation). How is Dinamica to maintain with kids compared to standard leather?
Suspension: How big of a difference does the Adaptive Air Suspension actually make on the heavy PHEV platform over rough roads?
Tires: Prestige comes on summer tires, so I'd need to budget ~$1300 for all-seasons soon.
Which one would you go with? Thanks!
