In terms of performance, the 2022 Audi Q5 and the 2022 Lexus RX 350 have a lot in common. Both offer powerful gas engine options as well as available hybrid powertrains for those who spend a lot of time on the road during their commutes.
These two models begin to differ when the rubber meet the road, so to speak. The Audi Q5 comes standard with quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology. While the Lexus does offer all-wheel drive, it doesn't come standard. You’ll have to upgrade to achieve superior stability!
Inside both the 2022 Audi Q5 and the 2022 Lexus RX 350, five spacious seats come standard as do a plethora of high-end furnishings. Impress every passenger with genuine leather seating surfaces, 3-zone automatic climate control, and heated seats. These features are all standard in the Audi, while they're only available options in the Lexus.
The Lexus has slightly more cargo space with all the rear seats folded down—58.5 cubic feet in the RX 350 compared to 54 cubic feet in the Q5. However, it's severely lacking with its cargo capacity of 16 cubic feet behind the rear row. You'll need to sacrifice the entire back seat if you want to pack any large cargo.
With the Audi, you won't need to make a choice between passenger space and cargo. This model has 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats. If you’re hitting the road with kids or friends, bags and gear can still fit comfortably in the back.
As luxury vehicles, both the 2022 Audi Q5 and the 2022 Lexus RX 350 offer incredible high-tech features. Both feature multi-faceted infotainment systems with all the bells and whistles you need to stay in touch and on track. This includes navigation and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
There are a few extra features you'll get to enjoy should you choose the Audi, starting with the available 12.3-inch fully digital instrument display with Audi virtual cockpit plus. Use this system to follow Google Earth™ directions and get real-time media updates.
You'll also get to experience your entertainment in a whole new way with the Audi's available Bang & Olufsen® sound system with 3D sound and 19 strategically placed speakers. Your audio experience will be comparatively underwhelming with the 15-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System that's available in the Lexus RX 350.
