The Audi Q5 is an SUV that combines style and tech into one great package. But the Q5 isn't the only luxury SUV on the market. So, how does it compare to others you can purchase? That's what we aim to discuss, so keep reading as we show you how the Audi Q5 holds up.
Being both midsize luxury SUVs, it's surprising how two models can differ in size, power, fuel economy, and price. In terms of size, the X5 is a bit larger, offering slightly more cabin and cargo space. But the Q5 is less expensive by over $20,000. It even has better fuel economy, which is great for anyone looking to save money.
In terms of performance, the edge goes to the X5, with base models offering 375 horsepower and going up from there. The Q5 starts at 201 horsepower and tops out at 362 hp. Though the X5 is somewhat larger and has a better top speed, the Q5 is a better option as its larger fuel economy and lower starting prices make it easy for any driver to own a luxury SUV.
Porsche is no slouch when crafting an SUV - it's why models like the Macan are so popular. But compared to Q5, the Macan doesn't hold up. Like most luxury SUVs, Porche crafted its model more for speed than efficiency. It's why the Macan tops out at 434 hp compared to the Q5's 362 hp. However, the Q5 is much more fuel-efficient offering about 23/29 mpg while the Macan gets about 19/25 mpg.
Another area where the Q5 outperforms the Macan is in price. The top-tier Q5 starts at $57,000, and that's where base Macan starts. Additionally, the Q5 offers much more cargo space. With the seats folded, the Q5 has about 54.1 cubic feet of space, while the Macan only has 53 cubic feet. The difference may seem small, but when on a trip, the additional cubic foot of space is a lot.
From the comparisons, the Q5 stands up to, if not exceeds, other luxury models in many ways. With solid performance, good fuel economy, and a decent starting price, it's hard to pass on this SUV. If you'd like to drive this model, call us, and we'll set you up with a test drive any time.
