Hey everyone! I recently picked up a 2023 Audi Q5 and I’m absolutely loving the drive so far. The cabin feels super premium, but now that I’m using it as my daily driver, I’m starting to realize I need a few things to keep it looking sharp and organized. I’m particularly worried about the high-traffic areas and the glossy finishes getting scratched up over time.
I’ve been looking at some all-weather floor mats because the stock carpet ones seem like they’ll get ruined the first time it rains. I’m also curious if anyone has found a center console organizer that actually fits well—the deep storage bin is a bit of a black hole right now! Also, since the trunk space is decent but prone to items sliding around, are the cargo nets or dedicated liners worth the investment?
I really want to avoid that 'cheap' look, so I’m looking for accessories that match the Audi aesthetic. Whether it’s OEM gear or high-quality third-party stuff, I’m all ears. What are the 'must-have' interior add-ons that actually made your life easier or protected your Q5's value? Would love to hear your top recommendations!
Here's what I recommend:
- WeatherTech FloorLiner HP for durability.
- Audi OEM All-Weather Floor Mats for aesthetics.
OEM preserves the premium cabin feel way better - honestly.
Quick question before I dive into the technical specs—what's your typical daily carry look like for that trunk space? Before I give advice, I also gotta know if you’re planning on using the wireless charger frequently. Basically, some of those deep-bin organizers can actually block the induction coil or cause heat dissipation issues depending on how they're vented, which is a total pain for your battery health long-term.

I totally feel you on that. The piano black trim in the 2023 is a literal fingerprint and scratch magnet. Quick tip: If you want to keep it looking mint, look into an Xpel Interior Paint Protection Film Kit for Audi Q5. It’s a bit of a technical DIY job with the squeegee and solution, but it’s basically invisible once it cures and saves the resale value highkey.
For the 'black hole' console, I’ve had great luck with the Muslogy for Audi Q5 Center Console Organizer 2018-2024. It’s way cheaper than OEM but the fitment is weirdly precise—literally looks like it came from the factory and dont rattle at all. For the trunk, if you're worried about things sliding, the CargoLoc 32501 36-Inch x 48-Inch Bungee Cargo Net is a decent budget option, but a molded liner is better if you're worried about spills. Tbh, once I know if you're hauling groceries or heavy gear, I can give you the best material specs for the liners!
TIL! Thanks for sharing
Ok so, I went through this last year. To maintain signal integrity and visibility, I prioritized safety-first mods.
- Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Audi Q5 10.1-inch MMI - Honestly, you're MMI screen needs this 9H hardness to prevent micro-scratches that cause distracting glare.
- Audi OEM Front Sunshade 2018-2024 Q5 - ESSENTIAL for thermal management of the cockpit electronics and preventing dash warping.
Protecting the hardware is the priority!!
