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 Toyota 4Runner, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions

Handling
The Audi Q5 has the same turning radius as the Toyota 4Runner, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota 4Runner is clearly the choice over the Audi Q5 for pulling heavy loads. The Audi Q5 has a little less horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.
