I think I'd rather have something a bit more subtle that blends into the grey city!
I've had black cars in the last, so am familiar with cleaning and them looking dusty 20 mins later! Maybe the middle grey colour would be a better option?

Monsoon Grey? There are a couple on the Audi used car site, it looks OK. When the SQ5 was launched last year my dealer had one as a showroom car, it looks a bit flat somehow. Also for 2015 MY is another new blue called Utopia but my dealer said they hadn't seen any swatches yet.

Grey and silver colours hide dirt well or at least they have on the cars I've owned. Black and white were the worst. Of the greys available on the SQ I'd go for Lava, but not with the black pack as Lava contrasts lovely with the wing mirrors and chrome on the car. Seen a few Lava SQ's now and in hindsight would have preferred that to the white I have. Also looks more mean than Monsoon IMHO. Prefer Daytona to any colour Audi currently do but not for ÂŁ2k. If you want a colour that hides dirt reasonably well and looks stunning when clean you could do worse than Lava. Sepang looks amazing on some Audi's like the RS4 but maybe not so much on the SQ5 but your money so your choice as colour choice is such a personal thing. You'll get a nice car no matter what colour you end up choosing

Problem with Lava is that being pretty dark it shows dust badly but even worse are swirl marks. White and silvers hide these well.

Sepang I reckon will be pretty nice, for me Estoril can look too like a flat navy unless the sun is very bright. Sepang is a good few shades brighter and thus doesn't need a lot of light to look good. There is a Sepang Car local to me and does look good any time I see it.

Looks great but I would be keen to see it in real life and dull light first. Estoril can look great in the sun but a bit flat in day to day stuff.

8tec - you have ordered the Diamond stitching option on the seats I think, was dealer able to show you what it was going to look like by any chance? I've re-ordered Black/Lunar but have to say if the Lunar bit was available diamond stitched I'd be sorely tempted....

The only colour potion for Diamond Stitching is black with white stitch. Dealer didn't show me but did show me the picture attached when I placed order.

As with everything its a personal choice. Pick for you not based on what others think.
I was pleased with Sepang previously but it got old fast. The Daytona looked special for longer, but its an Sline colour only.

I like the diamond stitching its already been rolled out over the whole Audi (strange it was never a day 1 option) - id still rather have the two tone, but if you are going black/black it lifts the cabin really well.

I ordered the SQ5 in Lava Grey - with the black pack. It was due for July / August delivery, until I got an email today asking if I wanted the black pack or just black roof rails. Now they're telling me if I want the black pack, I'll have to wait until March! I'm waiting to hear back, as I have no idea how changing a few bits of plastic from chrome to black can add 7 months to the delivery?

I think Sepang Blue looks brilliant. I actually had a Sepang Blue SQ5 infront of me coming home from work yesterday, and it looked awesome. My only concern is that I'll get bored of it too easily. I intend keeping the SQ5 for 3 years anyway, and I can't help thinking I'd love Sepang for the first year and then wish I'd got something else.
