2022 Audi Q5 vs. 2022 Lexus GX
In the world of luxury SUVs, few vehicles can match the Audi Q5 and Lexus GX. These models are known for their impressive performance, luxurious interiors, and a long list of standard features. However, they also have a few key differences that make them unique from one another. To help you decide which vehicle is best for your lifestyle, we've compared their specifications below to help you find out which one suits your needs!
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 Audi Q5 has a nice design that's fairly similar in appearance across all trim levels. It's got sharp lines with a few curves here and there, so even though it looks like an SUV from front-view, it still looks sleek enough not to overwhelm you with its size (or turn heads too much). The 2022 Lexus GX is also sleek but has more rounded edges than its competitor—which makes sense given that this model is meant for city slickers who don't want an overly aggressive vehicle type. - Interior Design
The 2022 Audi Q5, with its utilitarian interior design, has a lot going for it. The designers have done an amazing job of making this SUV feel airy and spacious. The large panoramic sunroof is a great feature that really adds to the feeling of openness in the cabin. When you're sitting in the driver's seat and looking ahead at this huge expanse of glass above your head, it feels like you're driving through nature rather than in an enclosed vehicle. The seats are also very comfortable and supportive—they hug your body without being too tight or too loose.
The 2022 Lexus GX offers up similar comfort levels but does so with a more luxurious touch. In fact, both SUVs have leather seats which are very soft as well as supportive enough to keep passengers feeling relaxed during extended drives (although some drivers did complain about numbness after several hours behind the wheel)!
Technology & Safety
On the technology side, the 2022 Audi Q5 comes standard with a head-up display and Apple CarPlay, while the 2022 Lexus GX only has Android Auto. Both models offer standard satellite radio, but only the 2022 Audi offers a wireless charging pad.
The 2022 Audi also has more options for safety features than its rival does—it can be equipped with adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring, which are unavailable on all versions of the 2022 Lexus GX.
Performance
Next, let's look at the engines. The 2022 Audi Q5 gets a 3.0-liter V6 engine with 201 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, while the 2022 Lexus GX has a 4.8-liter V6 engine with 329 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque.
Additionally, both vehicles can be optioned with an optional hybrid powertrain—the 2022 Audi Q5 is available in TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4matic or TFSI Premium quattro 4matic form (the latter has a slightly larger displacement), while the 2022 Lexus GX comes in standard with F Sport Hybrid AWD but can also be ordered without it.
The Bottom Line
The Audi Q5 is a great car, and the Lexus GX is a good car. But in terms of value for money, the Audi Q5 wins hands down. It has more power, better safety features, better styling, and is cheaper than its rival.
