Comparing the 2022 Acura RDX and 2022 Audi Q5 in Chamblee, GA

If you’re looking for a smaller SUV or Crossover that still centers luxury and performance, Acura and Audi have brought great options to the table this year with the 2022 Acura RDX and Audi Q5. Both deliver power and comfort in a reasonably sized vehicle, but which one has the edge if we compare them?

Unrivaled Power From Ed Voyles Acura

Both vehicles bring impressive performance to the table this year. The 2022 Q5 45 delivers a speedy 261 horsepower and 273 lb. ft. of torque, giving you plenty of power on the road. The 2022 RDX does manage to top that though, with a thoroughly impressive 272 horsepower and 280 lb. ft. of torque, giving it plenty of pickup and speed. Add in features like available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and Adaptive Dampers, and the RDX is ready to handle a variety of conditions with top performance and precision.

Acura Delivers With Cutting Edge Technology in Chamblee, GA

Front and center in both the RDX and Q5 is a large, beautiful touch screen for all your information and entertainment needs while you’re on the road. If we just look at that, it’s hard to say which car has the advantage, since the screen in the RDX is 10.2 inches to the 10.1 inch screen in the Q5. Both also come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, but where the RDX starts to pull ahead again is with its True Touchpad Interface, which gives you precise control of the screen while keeping your attention on the road, and available features like a Wi-Fi hotspot to keep all you passengers connected and entertained on the go.

2022 Acura RDX vs. 2022 Audi Q5 – Who Has the Most Storage Space?

When you want a smaller SUV, the last thing you want is to be cramped. Both of these vehicles offer seating for 5 passengers so you can still bring the family with you wherever you go. That being said, if you want to bring a lot of gear along for the ride the RDX has you covered in a way that the Q5 simply does not. The Q5 isn’t bad, with a max of 54 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down, but the RDX blows it out of the water. The RDX has an impressive 79.8 cubic feet of storage, thanks to helpful rear cargo underfloor storage containers that utilize as much space as possible without making the vehicle big and bulky.
