    Which of these two SUVs would you rather have in your garage?

      Audi, simply because I want a car that is good for long comfortable road trips.
      Love the BMW, but I am not the kind of guy that will be trying to throw the cars around corner and bends at high speed.
      I enjoy a mellow and steady ride so therefore Audi.

      Q5, at this segment it is is the most sensible, I would rather get the 530d for the money in BMW or even the X4, but damm this X3 looks so good, it's pretty tough choice imo

  • @raghvendrasingh7426

    I drove both these SUVs on some fast but rough roads which had undulations, potholes, speed breakers and rumble strips. While the X3 struggled in these conditions, the Q5 was almost sublime in the way that it dispatched everything that was thrown at it. As a result I was able to achieve higher speeds with the Q5 on the same sections of road when driving the two cars back to back. Additionally, the Q5 also has the better quality interiors and back seat comfort. The back seats on the X3 are too upright and very hard, so long journeys would be quite uncomfortable for the rear seat occupants. The icing on the cake is also the 19 speaker B&O music system on the Q5 which was superior to the Harman system on the X3, although one would have to use high res WAV or FLAC files to get the best out of either of these systems. Loved the Brooklyn Grey colour though on the X3! Wish Audi offered their Quantum Grey colour from the S5!

      The most disappointing thing on the Q5 is the tech inside the car. It’s generations old than the bmw. The screen in that Q5 looks so tacky, there’s no wireless CarPlay either nor a place to keep your phone! As far as driving quick on bad roads is concerned you’re only screwing up your suspension system in the long run. The Audi might be able to “take on the bad roads” but at what price?!

    The biggest factor working in favour of Q5 is the discounts it carries perennially. Even if x3 is slightly better, the discounts should be enough to sway a lot of buyers. That’s the reason the Q cars are now selling almost as well as the X despite BMW having a better aspirational value and a “driver’s car” bias in reviews.

      Hi
      I'm struggling to decide to choose Xc60 or Q5.
      I'm worried about brand image xc60 lacks, after paying 80lacs , no one knows Volvo and someone would come to us and ask whether it's XUV900 from mahindra!?
      .but AUDI has its own brand image.

    So what use was the entire review if your conclusion is what every 12 year old knows?
    Learn from Matt Watson.
    PS: The X3 is definitely a notch above in engineering, tech, performance and solidity. Never makes you think twice driving over a pothole at 100kph or through unpaved roads or through huge rainstroms. Audi is just more refined and chic. Too refined to make you feel confident as a tough driver.

    A few more points could be added such as cost of ownership, maintenance and service network, spares parts availability, suspension system, mentioning about people's choice %% across the globe perhaps gives better suggestion to Indian customers. Umm okay. it's usually the technical and functional(practicality) feedback, don't see how this recorded review helping. Still you kept me engaged for whole review with 11min spent on Beemer of 19 min video.

    Volvo XC60 will kill the Germans in terms of outer styling and inner luxury interior (also glc bcoz I think it's outdated). But in performance only BMW. Even if audi not also comes near. But Indians will choose audi because they will drive it daily and Indian roads are not too good for bmw. And I think beamer is also a fuel guzzler.

    you have tested a standard Q5 with standard suspension. You should have tried the Sline model to match the BMW. Sline suspension on the Q5 is so stiff and uncomfortable, you should be mentioning this stuff to the viewers so they are not misguided and then the Q5 you tested has 19 wheels while the BMW has 20" wheels. Q5 on 19 and standard suspension compared to BMW 20 on msport suspension. No! not a good comaprison. You should have tested the Q5 sline with 20 wheels to match them perfectly. I bet you the BMW will have a more pliant suspension
