Cadillac XT5 vs Audi Q5 in Charlottesville, VA
Hands down, two of the best options on the market for SUVs are the Cadillac XT5 and the Audi Q5. They exemplify luxury SUVs, and each ensures that you’re driving in comfort and style. Let's take a look at some key characteristics of both to help decide which is the best choice for your needs.
Trim Options
A closer look at the Cadillac XT5 will highlight three distinct trim packages: the luxury, premium luxury, and sport. With the Audi Q5, you have six options from which to choose; premium, premium plus, prestige, plugin hybrid e-premium, plugin hybrid e-premium plus, and plugin hybrid e-prestige. While the many Audi Q5 trims have enticing features, the Cadillac XT5 provides superior quality over quantity, point by point across trims.
Tech, Entertainment, and Safety
Both of these premium SUVs offer plenty of tech and entertainment for your vehicle, and they both have key items like Bluetooth and proximity keyless entry. But the Audi Q5 is missing features that the Cadillac XT5 has such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That’s a little disappointing since these have become staple options in the luxury auto-world and are expected to be included. Point scored to the Cadillac in this case. The Cadillac XT5 also has automatic front pedestrian braking as well as active lane keep assist to improve safety. That said, the Q5 does provide a blind spot system standard, which is an add-on option for the Cadillac.

Engine & Power
While both vehicles have a 2.0L I4 Turbo engine, Cadillac was able to push 235 horsepower with the XT5, whereas the Q5 only puts out 201. Cadillac’s XT5 also boasts slightly better torque at 258lb-ft compared to 236lb-ft for the Audi. There is no doubt that both of these vehicles have the power to make your drive exhilarating, but when you need that extra power to be there, Cadillac provides it.
