Comparison Review

Comfort
The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Audi SQ5, with comparable head- and legroom. The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi SQ5, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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). Clearly, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is a better financial choice over the Audi SQ5, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Alfa Romeo Tonale is much slimmer than the Audi SQ5, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Alfa Romeo Tonale is slightly shorter than the Audi SQ5, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Tonale has a smaller turning radius than the Audi SQ5, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Audi SQ5 is clearly the choice over the Alfa Romeo Tonale for pulling heavy loads. The Alfa Romeo Tonale has a little less horsepower than the Audi SQ5.

Powertrain
The Alfa Romeo Tonale has much lower torque than the Audi SQ5, 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 Alfa Romeo Tonale and the Audi SQ5. The Alfa Romeo Tonale has less cargo space than the Audi SQ5, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
