2021 Audi Q5

vs 2021 Acura RDX

The new, redesigned 2021 Audi Q5 is the SUV that other SUVs wish they could be. No, really. With high shoulder lines and the famous octagonal grille, its exterior promotes the modern style that many of our guests desire in their daily drive. Ready to take on any adventure — whether that’s the carpool line or the vacation rental across the country — the Audi Q5 has the capability, technology and safety to take you there. And, of course, the four other lucky passengers for a total of five seats or 53.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the 40/20/40 rear seatbacks folded down. But if you’ve been shopping in the luxury SUV segment, you’ve probably come across the 2021 Acura RDX in your quest. For your convenience, we’ve placed these two competitors side-by-side so that you can see the differences for yourself — let’s see which model comes out on top.

Well, we thought it’d be a fairer fight between these two, but clearly the 2021 Audi Q5 is the SUV to have this year. From its more versatile standard second-row seating configuration to the exciting, available animation detail for the headlights and taillights, the Q5 beats the RDX in everything from practicality to style. Plus, when it comes to an efficient powertrain, trust German engineering to pull through. The Q5 offers a 55 TFSI® e plug-in hybrid option when the RDX doesn’t, along with standard quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® technology (you’d have to pay for a higher trim on the RDX for a similar system) and Audi drive select with four selectable drive modes. Where the Audi Q5 excels, the Acura RDX fails to produce a similar feature — so why trust anything but the Audi Q5 to be your go-to?
