The Audi Q5 for 2022 at Audi San Juan in San Juan, TX and the 2022 Lexus RX 350 are two of the most admired compact luxury SUVs you can buy. Both offer exceptional comfort and outstanding performance for luxury buyers in Edinburg and Misson TX. Here’s why we believe the Audi Q5 wins the competition and deserves to win you over as a new Audi Q5 customer.

Engines and performance

The 2022 Audi Q5’s 45 model runs with a base turbo-four that produces 261 horsepower. The 2022 Lexus RX 350 has a comparable 295-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 under the hood. While Lexus has more horsepower, the new Audi Q5 has more torque. It’s 273 lb-ft of torque for Audi vs. 268 lb-ft for Lexus. That may seem like a small difference but it helps Audi turn in a zero-to-60 time of 5.7 seconds while the Lexus RX 350 takes 7.7 seconds.

All-wheel drive and gas mileage

The Audi Q5 for 2022 is equipped with Audi’s very capable quattro® all-wheel drive system. It sends power to all four wheels and is engineered to deliver power to the wheels with the best grip. That gives you better traction when roadways are wet and slippery. Lexus also has a very good all-wheel drive system but it’s an option, not standard. The Audi Q5 base engine gets up to 29 mpg on highways while Lexus gets only 27 mpg.

Give them both a comparison test drive
