Although the Audi Q5 offers more drivetrain options than its competitors, it still faces good competition for most of its variants.
The Mercedes-Benz GLC is priced a bit more reasonably than the Q5, and has a smooth gas V-6.
BMW's X3 is spacious and offers a powerful turbo-six or a pleasant turbo four, while the Range Rover Evoque comes one-ups its competitors with a nine-speed automatic hitched to a turbo four offered in two strengths.
The Volvo XC60 is big, safe, and stylish, and Cadillac's SRX has a great V-6 in its corner, while some may not immediately fall in love with its tech-heavy CUE infotainment system.
