*Vehicle shown above (top) is a 2017 Acura RDX in Lunar Silver Metallic.
From engaging performance, to interior space, there’s only one luxury compact crossover SUV that will provide you with everything you need for an ideal driving experience. The 2017 Acura RDX takes the lead against its rival, the 2017 Audi Q5, in this comparison near West Allis, WI. If you’re in the area, or you can just recognize a truly capable SUV when you see one, come on over to Acura of Brookfield for a test drive in the RDX!
While the RDX boasts a 3.5L engine for more capability out on the road, the Audi Q5 only integrates a 2.0L engine that just doesn’t match up against its rival. Thanks to the RDX’s fuel rating of 28 MPG hwy1, you can traverse Zoo Freeway for a bit longer than you could in the Q5. Luckily, performance isn’t compromised in the slightest, as the RDX dominates its rival by astounding with 279 horsepower on a daily basis. The Audi Q5 merely exudes a fuel economy of 27 MPG hwy2 and falls short in performance by offering only 220 horsepower.
Though the Audi Q5 does have the RDX beat on standard cargo space, when you fold down the rear seats, there's no arguing that the RDX clearly takes the lead. Offering 29.1 cubic ft. of standard cargo room3 and a total of 57.3 cubic ft. of space3, the Q5 simply won’t have room for all of the essentials. Thankfully, the RDX does provide 26.1 cubic ft. of room4 behind the rear seats and also 76.9 cubic ft. of maximum area4 when you fold down the back row. Likewise, when you climb into the driver’s seat of the RDX, you’ll love the 42 inches of front legroom provided for you to relax in. The Audi Q5 only integrates 41 inches of front legroom, so you just won’t have as much space to stretch out in on your long drives down West Greenfield Avenue.
Indulge in the 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat of the Acura RDX, and you’ll feel inexplicably relaxed, enabling you to focus on the road without feeling any discomfort. This SUV also integrates a heated function to keep you warm on a chilly evening. Unfortunately, the Audi Q5 doesn’t offer the same amount of capability with a mere 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and lack of a heated function. While the Audi Q5 does integrate an available Audi advanced key with keyless start, stop, and entry5 on its second trim, the Acura RDX ensures that its Keyless Access System with pushbutton ignition is standard on the base level.
Whether you’re in the mood for a thrilling drive down Route 94, or you simply require a way to bring along all of the essentials for a day spent at Greenfield Park, you need a luxury compact crossover SUV to help you accomplish these tasks. You can’t get behind the wheel of just any vehicle, so check out how this battle between the 2017 Acura RDX vs 2017 Acura Q5 near West Allis, WI, favors the former SUV. Once you’re convinced that the RDX is ideal for your daily commutes, come on over to Acura of Brookfield for a test drive!
