2015 Audi Q5 vs. Its Competition

2015 Audi Q5 Hybrid
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

The Audi Q5 offers more drivetrain options than its competitors, but that doesn't make the competition any less steep.

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is priced more reasonably than the Q5, and also offers a diesel engine.

The BMW X3 is spacious and offers a powerful turbo-six, while the Evoque comes with a nine-speed automatic.

The Volvo XC60 is big, safe and stylish, and Cadillac's SRX has a great V-6 and useful CUE infotainment system in its corner.
