Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q8 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the BMW iX, with comparable head- and legroom. The BMW iX will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q8.

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 Q8 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the BMW iX.

Dimensions
The Audi Q8 is a little wider than the BMW iX, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Audi Q8 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW iX.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has the same turning radius as the BMW iX, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q8 has a lot less horsepower than the BMW iX.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q8 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the BMW iX.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the BMW iX. The Audi Q8 has significantly less cargo capacity than the BMW iX.
