Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi SQ5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan ARIYA, with comparable head- and legroom. The Nissan ARIYA offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi SQ5, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 SQ5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan ARIYA, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi SQ5 is about the same width as the Nissan ARIYA. When looking at overall length, the Audi SQ5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan ARIYA.

Handling
The Audi SQ5 has a larger turning radius than the Nissan ARIYA, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi SQ5 greatly out-muscles the Nissan ARIYA.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi SQ5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan ARIYA.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi SQ5 and the Nissan ARIYA. The Audi SQ5 has less cargo space than the Nissan ARIYA, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
