Looking for your next ride? One of the most important things to consider when searching for a new SUV is the performance. Both the Audi and the Lexus can enhance your drives with amazing performance features.
In terms of performance, the 2023 Audi Q5 and the 2023 Lexus RX 350 have a lot in common. Both models offer powerful gas engine options as well as available hybrid powertrains for drivers who spend a lot of time on the road during their commutes.
With either model, you can achieve more than 200 horsepower on standard trims and more than 300 with the available engines.
These two models begin to differ when the rubber meets the road, so to speak. The Audi Q5 comes standard with quattro® all-wheel drive with (AWD) ultra® technology. While the Lexus does offer all-wheel drive, it doesn't come standard. You’ll have to upgrade to achieve superior stability!
SUVs like the Audi Q5 and the Lexus RX 350 are known for their spacious interiors. Whether you’re driving the kids and their friends to the movies or transporting furniture home, both models will have a lot of interior space you can count on.
Inside both the 2023 Audi Q5 and the 2023 Lexus RX 350, five spacious seats come standard as do a plethora of high-end furnishings.
Impress every passenger with genuine leather seating surfaces, 3-zone automatic climate control, and heated seats. These features are all standard in the Audi.
The Lexus and the Audi both have a lot of cargo space with all the rear seats folded down—58.5 cubic feet in the RX 350 compared to 54 cubic feet in the Q5. However, the Lexus is severely lacking with its cargo capacity of 16 cubic feet behind the rear row. You'll need to sacrifice the entire back seat if you want to pack any large cargo.
With the Audi, you won't need to make a choice between passenger space and cargo. This model has 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats. If you’re hitting the road with kids or friends, bags and gear can still fit comfortably in the back.
From road trips to commutes to work, your new SUV is going to be there for every drive you take. If you want to ensure your ride is entertaining and easy, having technology that caters to your needs is a must. Let’s find out how the interior technology features of these SUVs compare.
