2022 RS5 coupe order guide (Audi Canada)

[mxrz]

Compared to 2021, driver assistance package is now rolled into the Premium package, and sport exhaust is standard equipment, otherwise, few small differences.



My Audi exclusive order should be on the boat by September.

They basically threw a bunch of the a la carte options into the premium package. The only annoying part is that the RS Design Interior now gets a round alcantara steering wheel instead of the flat bottom. The nice part of that is that you now can have a heated wheel and hands on detection with the alcantara steering wheel (previously not available). Mine is supposed to arrive in September as well but I'll believe it when it's here.

That is annoying indeed, I spec'ed my order when it was a 2021, and I did select that package, oh well, if it really bothers me, it'll be another item to order from Nemesis, however I wonder if the hands on detection can be disabled so it doesn't constantly display an error message.

As of now, nobody is offering an aftermarket replacement flat bottom unfortunately (yes you will get an error message that lane keep assist is unavailable...or something like that).

Heated and Alcantara wheel? That sounds damn cozy!

Digging the bronze wheel option, but not digging the cost of the package. Always thought sport exhaust should have been standard, give me that and delete the damn Soundaktor.

I can't take feeling like I'm driving a bus with stock wheel so going to experiment with this setup. Going to get this wheel and airbag so hoping same handsfree sensor will mean no issues. Even though I have to order with heated feature I wont be able to use it since losing button to turn on, not a big deal since car is in my heated garage. Also lose the (*) button that allows you to assign a function to it, I use it now for garage door opener so again not a big deal since can just hit the button on screen.

My understanding is that steering wheel (used in the RS6/7) has a different hub and won't fit at all. I believe Alex from Europrice already confirmed this.

I ordered this from Europrice and Alex suggested this wheel to me

Strange. I asked about this right when I ordered my 2022 and was told it won't fit. Maybe I'll ask again...I wonder if it was because I was asking for the alcantara version?

Wouldnt think that would matter? But he knows it's for my 2021 and suggested going with this wheel
