2022 Audi Q5 vs. 2022 Acura MDX

The 2022 Audi Q5 and 2022 Acura MDX are two of the most popular luxury SUVs on the market. They offer similar levels of comfort, safety, and technology features but differ in size and performance. If you're considering purchasing either one, it's important to know how they compare to each other so you can make an informed decision. Let's take a look at their similarities and differences below:

Design & Style

• Exterior Design
  The 2022 Audi Q5 has been redesigned to be sleeker and more aerodynamic than its predecessor. The front bumper was reshaped with a more pronounced grille and new headlights, while the rear end gained a new taillight design that's less bulbous than before. In addition, all models (even entry-level trims) now come standard with LED running lights, which give the Q5 an elegant appearance.
  
  The 2022 Acura MDX is a stylish crossover SUV that sacrifices little in terms of comfort or performance when compared to other vehicles in its class! The exterior features sleek lines from top to bottom and wide back-sloping roof lines that complement its athletic styling perfectly without sacrificing passenger space or utility. It comes standard with LED lighting for both the headlamps and tail lamps; these new lights provide increased visibility at night without much of an increase in power consumption compared to high-performance halogen bulbs found on many other vehicles in this segment—a huge plus if you plan on driving your car during peak hours when streetlights might not be enough illumination for safe travel conditions!
  
• Interior Design
  The Audi Q5's interior is more luxurious than the MDX's. It has a higher quality look and feel, which makes it feel more expensive than it really is. The Audi Q5 also has more soft-touch materials inside, including the armrests and center console. Acura uses suede-like material on its dashboards instead of leather or faux leather; it feels nice but doesn't look as good as real suede.
  
  The MDX has plenty of room inside, and its optional 40/20/40-split folding rear seat expands cargo capacity by more than six cubic feet when folded down. And unlike some luxury crossovers with tall roofs (such as the Audi Q5), the MDX doesn't compromise headroom or visibility because it has an open sunroof design.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to technology and safety, both vehicles have their advantages. The 2022 Audi Q5 has a tremendous driver-assistance system, including adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and lane-keeping assist. The steering wheel or voice commands can control each of these features.

On the MDX, you get a longer list of standard features missing from the Audi Q5 (such as dual-zone automatic climate control). However, if you want them on your new SUV, then they're available in an option package for both vehicles at no extra cost. Both vehicles have an excellent infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, but only the Acura lets you connect up to five devices at once while using wireless charging via Qi wireless charging pad located in the front center console area between the driver and passenger seat (available only on Premium Package).

Performance

The 2022 Audi Q5 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that makes 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine gets 28 mpg in the city, 35 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg combined for an EPA rating of 25 miles per gallon overall.

The 2022 Acura MDX has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque with an EPA rating of 20 miles per gallon (city), 27 miles per gallon (highway), and 23 miles per gallon combined with an EPA rating of 20 miles per gallon (city), 27 miles per gallon (highway) and 23 miles per gallon combined.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an SUV that's perfect for families, the Audi Q5 is a great option. It has plenty of space and luxurious features.
