Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda Pilot than in the Audi Q5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Honda Pilot offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q5 as you will with the Honda Pilot, 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). Whether you pick the Audi Q5 or the Honda Pilot, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q5 is much slimmer than the Honda Pilot, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Audi Q5, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Honda Pilot.

Handling
The Audi Q5 has a larger turning radius than the Honda Pilot, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Audi Q5 is clearly the choice over the Honda Pilot for pulling heavy loads. The Audi Q5 has a little less horsepower than the Honda Pilot.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Audi Q5 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Honda Pilot.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Audi Q5 seats a lot fewer people than the Honda Pilot. The Audi Q5 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda Pilot.
