Audi has always been in competition with Mercedes-Benz. Both are good German automakers, but Audi surpasses its rival because its vehicles are more reliable, more powerful and definitely more stylish. The Audi Q5 is at the very top of its segment and delivers unparalleled efficiency in a family-friendly package that is filled with technology.
Here, we compare the 2022 Audi Q5 with the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC.
The 2022 Audi Q5 is geared with the best in terms of powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that outputs 261 horsepower. It is more powerful than the GLC’s base engine, which is also a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine which falls short with only 255 horsepower.
The Audi powerplant is mated to a quick-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission, which feeds the world-renowned Quattro AWD system – a system that is more capable and advanced in all conditions when compared to the GLC’s 4MATIC system.
Not only is this particular powertrain more powerful and capable, it is also more efficient, with impressive fuel consumption ratings of 10.3 L/100 km in the city and 8.4 L/100 km on the highway. The GLC consumes more resources and will be more expensive at the pump, with ratings of 11.3 L/100 km in the city and 8.5 L/100 km on the highway
The Audi Q5 also has a plug-in hybrid model, the 55 TFSI e. This one delivers 362 horsepower and gets as little as 9.4 L/100 km city and 8.8 L/100 km on the highway. You can drive it for up to 35 kilometres without using a single drop of gas. The Mercedes-Benz GLC doesn’t offer a plug-in hybrid.
The Audi Q5 offers much more space
The Audi Q5 is the perfect family luxury vehicle. And when you need to bring luggage, sporting equipment and groceries, this luxury SUV delivers. With a total of 725 litres of cargo volume when it is full of passengers and 1,515 litres when the 2nd row is folded flat, the Audi Q5 offers more possibilities.
