Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Audi Q5 than the Jeep Compass. The Jeep Compass 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 Jeep Compass, 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 Jeep Compass, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi Q5 is about the same width as the Jeep Compass. If you go with the Audi Q5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Compass.

Handling
The Audi Q5 has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Compass, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Audi Q5 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Jeep Compass.

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