2015 Audi Q5 vs. 2015 Lexus RX 350 Toledo OH Sylvania
Two of the fiercest competitors in the luxury crossover segment are undoubtedly the 2015 models of the Audi Q5 and the Lexus RX 350. They both boast designs that are undoubtedly stylish and that set them apart from some of their comparable competitors, but what really allows them to break from the mold is their affordable pricing. Considering the level of luxury that both of the crossovers offer, and the power and performance that both are able to deliver, there is no arguing that they are at the top of their game.
A closer look at the two, however, shows that one has a slight advantage over the other. To show you how the two compare, let’s take a closer look at the 2015 Audi Q5 vs 2015 Lexus RX 350. We have a feeling that once you see what both offer that you will be able to agree that the Q5 reigns supreme.
Engine Options
One of the biggest things that separates the two are the engine options made available beneath the hoods. In the Audi Q5, you have three engines to choose from including two standard petrol engines—one that takes on four cylinders and one that takes on six—and a 3.0-liter diesel engine that really helps to set the Q5 apart from the RX 350. That’s especially true as the Lexus offering only has a single engine, which sort of limits its reach. The Q5, on the other hand, is able to accommodate a range of different lifestyles.
Six-Cylinders
As we said, there is a four-cylinder engine offered in the Q5, but because the RX 350 is made available exclusively with a V6, we thought it would be most helpful to compare the six-cylinder option of the Audi Q5 to its Lexus rival. The V6 displaces half-of-a-liter less than the engine of the RX 350, but that doesn’t keep it from achieving similar power. The Audi Q5 has the ability to do more with less.
Both are able to generate roughly 270 horsepower, and although it isn’t much of a difference, the Q5 holds the advantage. The same goes for the fuel economy. The RX 350 has the ability to travel as far as 25 miles on the highway with a single gallon, but it onces again falls short of the Audi Q5, which is able to go as far as 26 mpg on the highway. Again, it’s not much of a difference, but it is definitely worth noting.
Affordable Package
To top it all off, the 2015 Audi Q5 comes in at a price that is slightly more affordable than that of the 2015 Lexus RX 350. When equipped with the aforementioned four-cylinder engine, it boasts a price of $38,900 which is a little more than $2,000 less than the price of the Lexus RX 350. As you can see, it not only does more with less, but it offers more for less. For that reason, when it comes to the comparison of the Audi Q5 vs Lexus RX 350, it’s clear to see that the Audi A5 is the unanimous winner.
