Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Cadillac XT5, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Audi Q5 and the Cadillac XT5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q5 as you will with the Cadillac XT5, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Audi Q5 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Cadillac XT5.

Dimensions
The Audi Q5 is about the same width as the Cadillac XT5. The Audi Q5 is slightly shorter than the Cadillac XT5, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Audi Q5 is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. The Audi Q5 has a little more horsepower than the Cadillac XT5.

Powertrain
The Audi Q5 has much lower torque than the Cadillac XT5, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q5 and the Cadillac XT5. The Audi Q5 has less cargo space than the Cadillac XT5, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
