Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi Q5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. The Volkswagen ID.4 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5.

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 Q5 or the Volkswagen ID.4, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q5 is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi Q5, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Audi Q5 has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Audi Q5 is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q5 has a lot less horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q5 and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Audi Q5 has less cargo space than the Volkswagen ID.4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
