Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Audi Q5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Equinox will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5.

Convenience
The Audi Q5 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Chevrolet Equinox, making it more convenient to drive.

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). The Audi Q5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Chevrolet Equinox, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi Q5 is about the same width as the Chevrolet Equinox. When looking at overall length, the Audi Q5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chevrolet Equinox.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q5 greatly out-muscles the Chevrolet Equinox.

Powertrain
The Audi Q5 has much lower torque than the Chevrolet Equinox, 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 Chevrolet Equinox. The Audi Q5 has less cargo space than the Chevrolet Equinox, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
