Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi Q8 than in the BMW X5 PHEV. The BMW X5 PHEV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q8.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Audi Q8 or the BMW X5 PHEV, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Audi Q8 is about the same width as the BMW X5 PHEV. When looking at overall length, the Audi Q8 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW X5 PHEV.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a larger turning radius than the BMW X5 PHEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q8 has a lot less horsepower than the BMW X5 PHEV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q8 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the BMW X5 PHEV.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the BMW X5 PHEV. The Audi Q8 has less cargo space than the BMW X5 PHEV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
