INTERIOR
When you get an SUV, you expect comfort, style, and space. That’s what you get with either of these SUVs.
Room for Everyone
The 2023 Audi Q5 and the Acura RDX make room for up to five passengers to stretch out and relax. Whether you’re driving the kids to school or travelling with other adults, you’ll have room for your passengers.
If you or your passengers need to bring some belongings, it will be simple with either the Q5 or the RDX. In fact, you can customize either SUV’s cabin with foldable rear seats. You’ll have 40/20/40 folding rear seats that slide and recline in the Q5. In the RDX, you’ll have 60/40 split fold-down seats. The advanced seat flexibility in the Audi will be more convenient for all sized cargo items.
Sophisticated Seating
In addition to providing comfort, leather upholstery elevates style. Both models have leather-appointed seats standard; however, the Acura’s seats are mixed with Ultrasuede™. On the other hand, the Audi will give you a full and genuine leather experience.
Regardless of which SUV you choose, both models come with standard heated front seats, enhanced interior lighting, and multi-zone climate control systems.
SAFETY
From the moment you start the car to the moment you arrive at your destination, you’re counting on a safe ride from your SUV. With many safety features coming standard in both SUVs, you can feel confident with either the Q5 or the RDX.
Next-Generation Safety
The 2023 Audi Q5 and the Acura RDX excel when it comes to safety. Both SUVs help avoid accidents in the first place with advanced driver-assistance suites. With their array of intelligent features, you can drive with more awareness.
In the Q5, enjoy the following standard features:
- Audi pre sense® city
- Audi side assist
- Lane departure warning
The Acura RDX has similar versions of these Q5 systems as well.
Audi Safety Features
The Audi Q5 does have a leg up when it comes to standard Audi pre sense® rear. This system senses when there’s the potential for a rear collision and prepares your car by tightening the seat belts, closing the windows and sunroof, and adjusting the seats to help minimize impact.
Unfortunately, this feature is specific to Audi, so you won’t have this extra layer of protection in the RDX.
PERFORMANCE
These SUVs have a lot of power under their respective hoods, and our team is here to tell you which one will deliver the most dynamic ride.
Refined Power at Every Turn
The 2023 Q5 and the 2023 RDX are ready with engaging powertrains to excite your drive. In the Audi Q5, you’ll have your choice between two motors, each delivering over 200 horsepower, so you can choose the best one to match your driving needs.
The Acura RDX, on the other hand, is only available with one engine, and it also provides decent power output for an enjoyable ride.
Audi Exclusives
In addition to its multiple powertrain options, the Audi Q5 also has two optional adaptive air suspensions. These suspensions are built to provide extra control when cornering while also adjusting your ride height for better ground clearance based on the terrain you're encountering.
Once again, this amenity is an Audi exclusive, so you won’t be treated to them with the RDX.
