Three Reasons why the Audi Q5 is better than the Lexus RX350

When it comes to luxury SUVs, you have a number of options to choose from. And while these models might seem similar at first glance, here at Audi Cary, we know that Audi vehicles stand tall above the rest. The Audi Q5 is a shining example. Here are three reasons why the Q5 is the better choice over the RX 350:

  • Engine Options: The Audi Q5 offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, and a hybrid powertrain with a 2.0T gasoline engine and an electric motor. The RX 350 has just one gasoline option.
  • All-Wheel Drive: All-wheel drive delivers sure footing and excellent handling in all weather conditions. While the RX 350 does offer all-wheel drive as an option, you'll have to pay extra for it, as front-wheel drive is standard. On the Audi Q5, however, all-wheel drive is standard equipment.
  • Cargo Capacity: One of the aspects that make an SUV versatile is its capacity to transport passengers and cargo. With all seats in place, the Audi Q5 boasts nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo space. The RX 350 has under 18.5 cubic feet of cargo space, making it seem comparatively claustrophobic.
