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 Porsche Macan, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q8 is much wider than the Porsche Macan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi Q8, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Porsche Macan.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Porsche Macan, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Audi Q8 has a little less horsepower than the Porsche Macan.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Audi Q8 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Porsche Macan.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the Porsche Macan. The Audi Q8 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Macan.
