    Are you talking 2020 or 2021? A lot changed just from those two.

    I thought 2020 was the B9.5, but is it 2021?

    2021 appears to have updated grill and fogs.

    2021 is the first year of the B9.5 for the SQ5.

    The A4/5 got the .5 refresh earlier.

    And the gearing. Gears 1-5 have shorter ratios.

    Front and rear bumper covers, center grille, headlamps, taillamps, skirts/rockers, exhaust tips added (hot and faux), no flat bottom wheel, larger and touch center screen, gloss black center console, center console button delete (due to touch panel), solid pano shade... all I can think of right now aside from mentioned tuning

    My 21 build came with a flat bottom, lucky me. Although i’ll miss the heated wheel these next few months.

    From the order guide, you can add a flat steering wheel at no charge, but you lose the heated steering wheel.
