The most important thing when deciding between any two vehicles should always be safety, both passive and active. Volkswagen appears just a bit more reliable, although the difference is truly marginal. When it comes to fuel economy things look pretty much the same for both cars, averaging around 5.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (51 mpg), in combined cycle. Still, it lacks the power to win the top speed competition, topping at 190 kilometers per hour, 2km/h less than the other car. Volkswagen is a bit more agile, reaching 100km/h in 0.8 seconds less than its competitor. We should definitely mention that owners of cars with the same powertrain as Audi Q5 rank it on average as 4.1, while the one under the competitor's bonnet gets 4.3 out of 5. Unfortunatelly, I don't have enough insight that would allow me to comment in more details on the specific models level.
These are the official statistics, while our visitors describe reliability of Audi with an average rating of 4.1, and models under the Volkswagen badge with 4.2 out of 5. I don't like generalizing things when it comes to reliability, although it does seem that Volkswagen does have a slight advantage, all the models observed together. Furthermore, when it comes to weight, a factor that most people underestimate, Audi Q5 offers a considerable difference of 15% more metal. Both vehicles belong to the suv segment, which is generally a very good thing safety-wise, but that fact doesn't break the tie between the two cars. Moving further on, let's take a closer look at some additional safety-related facts. Good thing is that both vehicles got tested, with the same number of safety stars gained in the process. The first thing to look into here would be the results from European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) tests performed on the two cars. The first one has a 4-cylinder, 16-valves 143hp unit, while the other one gets its power and torque from a 4-cylinder, 16-valves 140hp one. Both the engines are Volkswagen-engineered. Considering they both belong to the suv segment and utilize the same 5-door suv body style and the front wheel drive system, it all comes up to the specific diesel engine choice they offer. Well, these are two pretty similar cars we have here! It's only details that could potentially make the difference.
