Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q6 e-tron offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the BMW X5, with comparable head- and legroom. The BMW X5 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q6 e-tron.

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 Q6 e-tron will have less of an impact on your bank account than the BMW X5.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q6 e-tron is much slimmer than the BMW X5, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Audi Q6 e-tron is slightly shorter than the BMW X5, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Audi Q6 e-tron has a smaller turning radius than the BMW X5, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the BMW X5 is clearly the choice over the Audi Q6 e-tron for pulling heavy loads. The Audi Q6 e-tron has a little less horsepower than the BMW X5.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q6 e-tron and the BMW X5. The Audi Q6 e-tron has less cargo space than the BMW X5, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
