Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi Q5 than in the BMW X3.
The BMW X3 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q5 as you will with the BMW X3, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
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 Audi Q5 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the BMW X3.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Audi Q5 will cost more in terms of transportation costs than the BMW X3.
Dimensions
The Audi Q5 is about the same width as the BMW X3.
When looking at overall length, the Audi Q5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW X3.
Handling
The Audi Q5 has the same turning radius as the BMW X3, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Audi Q5 will do just as well as the BMW X3, since they have about the same towing capacity.
The Audi Q5 has a little more horsepower than the BMW X3.
Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Audi Q5 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the BMW X3.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3.
The Audi Q5 has less cargo space than the BMW X3, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The Audi Q5 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the BMW X3.
