Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Murano, with comparable head- and legroom. The Nissan Murano 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
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q5 as you will with the Nissan Murano, 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). The Audi Q5 is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Murano.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q5 is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Audi Q5 is slightly shorter than the Nissan Murano, which may make it easier to park.

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

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

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