Still, the m3 has 12 cubic feet of trunk for e90s. However, the SQ5 has 29 cubic feet of space in the rear, and the rear bench slides 3 inches and tilts 3 degrees.
Definitely going to have to have seat time before putting any money down.

So it looks like there is a discrepancy between what is being reported on trunk space.
The USA Audi site has the Q5 model listed at 29.1 Cubic feet.
HOWEVER!
The European release lists the Q5 as only having 19.7 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. Macan is only 17 cubic feet, which makes sense considering the sloping roofline of the Macan.
"The cargo area is one of the Audi Q5′s practical strengths. In its basic configuration it already offers a substantial 540 liters (19.07 cubic ft) of cargo space, which can be used very effectively. The floor is completely flat; the loading lip is only 69 centimeters (27.17 in) high and lies almost flush with the floor. The loading width is an impressive 105 centimeters (41.34 in) even between the wheel arches, and the loading length 93 centimeters (36.31 in)."
This has to be cargo space under the retractable deck lid. So the 17 cubic feet for the Macan must also be under the decklid. No other way to account for a 12 cubic foot difference in what's listed between the Q5 and the Macan.
