2016 Audi Q5 vs. Its Competition

2015 Audi Q5
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

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.

The 2016 Cadillac SRX smooths out the road ahead with a luxurious ride, smooth V-6 power, and the mixed blessing of touchscreen controls.
8.2
The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque breaks through with a more urban, street-smart style and tones down the off-road chops.

As a tangential—and far more sophisticated—replacement for the GLK, the savvy 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a far better match for American wants and needs.
