Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi Q8 than in the Lexus RX 500h. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Audi Q8 and the Lexus RX 500h.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q8 as you will with the Lexus RX 500h, 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 Q8 is somewhat more expensive than the Lexus RX 500h.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q8 is much wider than the Lexus RX 500h, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi Q8, which is slightly longer than the Lexus RX 500h.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Lexus RX 500h, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q8 has a little less horsepower than the Lexus RX 500h.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Audi Q8 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Lexus RX 500h.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the Lexus RX 500h. With the Audi Q8, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Lexus RX 500h.
