2012 Hyundai Veracruz vs. 2013 Audi Q5 Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Veracruz than in the Audi Q5. The Hyundai Veracruz will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5.

Convenience
With the Audi Q5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Veracruz, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Veracruz will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Audi Q5. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. In this case, the Hyundai Veracruz will cost less to deliver to the dealership than the Audi Q5.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Veracruz is much wider than the Audi Q5, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Hyundai Veracruz, which is slightly longer than the Audi Q5.

Drivetrain
With similar torque, the Hyundai Veracruz and the Audi Q5 are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Handling
The Hyundai Veracruz has a smaller turning radius than the Audi Q5, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Audi Q5 is clearly the choice over the Hyundai Veracruz for pulling heavy loads. The Hyundai Veracruz has a little more horsepower than the Audi Q5.

Utility
The Hyundai Veracruz offers greater seating capacity than the Audi Q5, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Hyundai Veracruz, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Audi Q5.

Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Hyundai Veracruz than that of the Audi Q5.
