Keep reading below to learn about the power they have under their hoods, features they have inside their cabins, and more details on the BMW X5 vs. Audi Q5.


X5 vs Q5: Interior Space and Design

The 2021 Audi Q5 comes with a premium design and space for five passengers, which makes it a comfortable ride. If you are looking for a truly luxurious ride, though, you'll want to step inside the BMW X5.

High-end materials and upscale features are used throughout its cabin. You'll have a standard panoramic moonroof, which will let you enjoy more sunshine and fresh air as you cruise around. The available Glass Controls also add to its overall sophisticated design.

Along with all that, you will have over an inch more of headroom when driving the X5, compared to the Audi Q5. The 16-way power front sport seats also let you get comfortable and enjoy the ride as you drive around in your BMW SUV.


A Fun Driving Experience

To go along with its comfortable interior, the BMW X5 also provides exceptional performance. With its TwinPower turbo engines and sophisticated engineering, this SUV handles more like a sporty sedan.

  • 3.0L TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine: This standard engine creates 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque
  • 4.4L TwinPower Turbo V8 engine: This available engine creates 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque.

The 2021 Audi Q5 also comes with sporty, turbocharged performance. Neither its standard 261-horsepower 2.0L engine nor available 362-horsepower engine can match the power under the hood of the X5. That means quicker acceleration, more agile handling, and more excitement overall can be had when driving the 2021 BMW X5.

Other great aspects of the 2021 Audi Q5 and 2021 BMW X5 are all the safety systems they have. They each feature a range of systems, including innovative technology designed to help you safely reach your destination.

These features include systems standard in both SUVs that can alert you whenever you accidently start to drift outside of your lane, as well as features that can help you know when its clear to make lane changes.

While both offer available Adaptive Cruise Control systems, too, the BMW X5 takes things a step further with the available Extended Traffic Jam Assistant. During your daily commute, you can enjoy a more relaxing drive while this system takes over and controls the steering for you.
