Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Tahoe than in the Audi SQ5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Chevrolet Tahoe will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi SQ5.

Convenience
