Driving a luxury SUV means riding in a spacious vehicle that features plenty of upscale materials. When you're shopping around for a new car, the Audi Q8 and the BMW X5 are competing models that are rated high among consumers. Here are a few of the top features between both vehicles when you're narrowing down your options.
Performance
The new Audi Q8 is powered by a 335-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine with full-time all-wheel-drive is available for a high level of traction. The vehicle stays glued to the road when you're on slippery surfaces or winding roads. Driving the Q8 proves to be enjoyable with a supple ride that never feels floaty. It accelerates quickly and handles well, which offers plenty of joy rides and makes it feel like you're driving a sedan rather than a large SUV.
The 2019 BMW X5 delivers 355 horsepower with 479 lb-ft and is outfitted with a 4.4-liter V-8 engine. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a diesel engine is also available. An available off-road package is offered for those who are willing to spend more money.
Comfort
The cabin in the 2019 Audi is spacious and airy with a significant amount of legroom and headroom. A two-screen infotainment system is included on the dashboard with minimal buttons available, which allows the cabin to feel clean and modern. All of the seats are large and feature leather upholstery. Soft-touch materials are abundant in the vehicle and create a comfortable setting that is high-end.
A sunroof comes standard on the new X5, which increases visibility to the outdoors and allows the cabin to feel spacious. A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen can be found on the dashboard, which is smaller than the screen that comes standard in the Q5. Standard ambient lighting creates a cozy touch to the cabin and offers comfortable mood lighting that isn't too bright. Pulse lighting is also added for when there's an incoming call.
Exterior Features
The Audi Q8 isn't afraid to take its styling to the next level with a wide body and a low roofline, which enhances the sleek and edgy look of the car. The car hovers over 22-inch wheels and features boxy wheel flares, which creates an eye-catching appearance that is unique compared to rivaling vehicles. LED headlights add a touch of elegance to the body and improve the visibility of the road ahead. The tail lights are the real show-stopper, which is connected with a bar and look futuristic but still classy.
