I have an option to pick one of the 2 vehicle- current generation Q5 (MY 2018) Technik vs base macan (MY2018) with just a Premium package to get basic amenities such as memory seats etc if the price for both in used market is same?

I find that the Q5 shows its age. It lacks the new interior that Audi introduced in the Q7 (of which I believe the Q3 is also inspired), and the only "innovation" is that ipad looking screen slapped in the middle of the console with very little integration. The exterior refresh is ok but not as sharp as other models in the Audi line-up (I like the bold design of the Q8, but other new models like the S3 or Q3 also have fresher lines). Moreover, I can't get over the fake exhausts on the Q5. I would definitely not go for the Q5 and for the price I would pick the A5 Sportback or indeed the X3 (even though I am not a huge fan of the interior).

The BMW drive for me is unmatched but when it comes down to price and what you get, the audi seems to be the better option. The audi cabin space, while smaller, seems to be more plush and comfortable than the BMW. However, I will say a lot of accessory components on audi feel cheap to me sometimes.....All in all, they are both great cars. I can't make up my mind.
@bkwus7572 жыл бұрын
I know this may not be politically correct, but with the Audi being made in Mexico, vs the BMW being made in the US, I’m not sure I’m happy paying German Luxury car prices for a car assembled in a low cost labor market. So yes, the Audi is less expensive, but it should be.
@RE-ue6oz2 жыл бұрын
The review is a year old, and last year the Q5 may have been the better value. However, in May 2022 Audi has shipped almost all Q5 without blind spot warning, adaptive cruise control, or navigation due to the chip shortage. The ones I looked at also had pretty basic wheels, and some had a detuned 2.0 4 cylinder engine with less power. The X3 has all of those features, drives better, but hard to get the Harmon Kardon stereo. The tie breaker for me was that at 6’1” the Q5 fits me awkwardly. I move the seat back all the way but then the door arm rest is too short and my arm doesn’t reach it, plus the touch screen is very far forward and high on the dash, I have to lean forward to reach it. BMW for me this time.

Q5 wins every time. Awesome exterior and interior design. Although I agree the discontinuation of MMI knob is a misstep, its interior remains more attractive than those of the X3. Given I had terrible experience with BMW reliability and customer service, the only reason to choose an X3 over Q5 is the low lease rates. If money is no object, nothing else best Macan GTS and Turbo w/Performance Package in this segment.
