2018 Porsche Macan vs. 2018 Audi Q5: Comparing SUVs

There are endless reasons to why one would purchase an SUV, whether you are the endless adventurer, the young entrepreneur, or the parent of two. Thankfully luxury brands caught up to this need and have a variety of options for you, no matter where you are in life. And since 2008, Audi was comfortably leading the popularity charts in the SUV market with the Audi Q5.

It wasn't until the Porsche Macan's debut in 2014, that Audi has found itself with some intriguing competition. Although they share around 33 percent of similarities, which can easily be expected since they both share Volkswagen as a parent company, they both have features that make them stand out on their own. And since we know you are here to find out which is the best to buy, let's move on to the details, shall we?

When going into exterior design, the Q5 and the Macan have certain similarities in terms of length and wheelbase. The Audi Q5, keeping in mind that it was initially created several years before the Macan and it's boxier look has a one-up in space in comparison, however, because it has been around for a while, we can safely say its look is more dated than the Macan's. The Porsche Macan looks lower, squat, giving it a sportier, more modern take on the SUV design.

In its interior, the Audi has offers a bit more space, clearly. Known for its contemporary, yet classic look, the Q5 displays materials that satisfy those with high standards. It also offers more trunk space. 540 litres when the seats are up and 1560 litres when the seats are down. The 2018 Macan however not only has a sportier look and feel, it feels more aggressive and driver-oriented. With the latest Porche infotainment system and low seating position, you suddenly might find yourself in a better mood for driving.

When comparing power and handling, you will find that the Macan has a stunning range of powertrain options. You'd be receiving the energy and luxury that Porsche fans have come to expect. A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine that boasts 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque can be found in its base model and it can easily take you from 0-60 mph in only 6.3 seconds. It also features the 7-speed PDK automatic transmission and a very capable AWD system.

The 2018 Audi Q5, however, only has two available engines and in most models. Although you will find the standard 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 which produces 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque as well.

Even though there are plenty of reasons to go for an Audi Q5 such as having a roomier interior and being at a healthier price for your bank account, testing both vehicles altogether, if you choose the 2018 Macan, there will be anything but a disappointment. Because you see, although choosing the 2018 Audi Q5 might be a great choice for your pocket, if you can stretch your budget a bit more and choose from the heart, you would pick a Macan.
