Sitting at the top of luxury compact SUVs in Canada, the Audi Q5 is made for Canadian drivers looking for more. The Q5 doesn’t compromise; it offers a clever mix of style, performance and interior space in a value-packed package that simply cannot be beaten.
Here, we compare the 2022 Audi Q5 with the 2022 BMW X3.
The Audi Q5 has better base power and better PHEV efficiency
The 2022 Audi Q5 offers the best base powertrain in this comparison. The2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine outputs 261 horsepower. It is more powerful than the X3’s base engine, which is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine which only outputs 248 horsepower.
The Audi powerplant is mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission, which feeds the world-renowned Quattro AWD system – a system that is more capable and advanced in all conditions when compared to the X3’s xDrive system.
The Audi Q5 also has a plug-in hybrid model, the 55 TFSI e. This one delivers 362 horsepower and gets as little as 9.4 L/100 km city and 8.8 L/100 km on the highway. You can drive it for up to 35 kilometres without using a single drop of gas. The BMW X3’s plug-in hybrid delivers much less power, with only 288 horsepower. Also, the range is not as advantageous as the Q5’s and the city fuel consumption is quite higher when compared to the Audi, with a rating of 11.0 L/100 km.
The X3 offers more powerful engine options, but they are more expensive and less efficient than the Q5’s top SQ5 trim.
The Audi Q5 charges forward with value and technology
Inside, the 2022 Audi Q5 delivers enhanced style and more intuitive technologies when compared to the X3. Audi’s Virtual Cockpit and the MMI infotainment system make every trip easier.
Even with everything the Audi Q5 has over the BMW X3, it is still offered at a much better price. You can get your hands on a 2022 Audi Q5 for as little as $48,000. The BMW X3 is more expensive, with a starting price of $52,990. That’s a $5,000 difference!
