Which of these two SUVs would you rather have in your garage?

[raghvendrasingh]

I drove both these SUVs on some fast but rough roads which had undulations, potholes, speed breakers and rumble strips. While the X3 struggled in these conditions, the Q5 was almost sublime in the way that it dispatched everything that was thrown at it. As a result I was able to achieve higher speeds with the Q5 on the same sections of road when driving the two cars back to back. Additionally, the Q5 also has the better quality interiors and back seat comfort. The back seats on the X3 are too upright and very hard, so long journeys would be quite uncomfortable for the rear seat occupants. The icing on the cake is also the 19 speaker B&O music system on the Q5 which was superior to the Harman system on the X3, although one would have to use high res WAV or FLAC files to get the best out of either of these systems. Loved the Brooklyn Grey colour though on the X3! Wish Audi offered their Quantum Grey colour from the S5!

The biggest factor working in favour of Q5 is the discounts it carries perennially. Even if x3 is slightly better, the discounts should be enough to sway a lot of buyers. That’s the reason the Q cars are now selling almost as well as the X despite BMW having a better aspirational value and a “driver’s car” bias in reviews.

So, you've spent 20 minutes 'comparing' the two cars and telling us the obvious that BMW is sporty and Audi is relaxed. Also, it's amazing that you guys always find Skodas and VWs super sporty, but Audi is relaxed. 😂🙏

[ussmissouri]

Would appreciate it if you could let me know the speed of the X3 when you're cornering and pushing it around the bends. Thank you.

I chose the Volvo XC60 over these two..dont regret it one bit..far better equipped. Would have expected Evo India to have included it in this comparison too

[jatinbandhiwal]

In my personal opinion I find Audi cars to be best looking of the competition.

That is not to say that other cars look bad, I just simply prefer Audi's looks over others.

Review should not be limited to driving only but practicality, seats, interior quality in detail. Not even boot is shown in most of your reviews. I like your reviews but comparison should be in all aspects.

[DJNAVENDU]

Audi looks like it was designed by someone from hyundai in 2010
I love clean designs but this looks bland and dated.

[dhananjayagarwal]

Audi is offering very good prices for q5. I was getting Audi q5 technology for 70 on road but booked x3 diesel for 78 on road. X3 is the best in segment as per today.

[shyamalkesharia]

Audi looks dated in front of the BMW. Also what's with the loud noise when Audi was taken over a speed breaker ? Just hope it was a pice of shooting equipment nd not something in the car itself.

[rajat]

The fact that you played Just A Player on your car play! *chef's kiss*

[shahan]

Audi looks a decade old. There's just no comparison between those 2. Kinda sad innit?

[ShadirBughari]

Have a great deal for the q5 but once I saw this video my heart is all on X3. But sadly no offers let's see

[OpinionImpact]

Guys, why don’t no reviewers focuses on other convenience features: bootspace, seat space, ergonomics, utilities, etc. These are practical things

[Itir-xzdk]

Best content, always unique comaparision, thanks

[axe]

wish you also compared to compare the merc glc with these beasts

[satyamevjayte]

If this segment suv, better choose for Diesel engines, reason : these are petrol Guzzlers, so diesel ones are more compassionate in mileage as well, and they provide better ride quality

[oldsoul]

A few more points could be added such as cost of ownership, maintenance and service network, spares parts availability, suspension system, mentioning about people's choice %% across the globe perhaps gives better suggestion to Indian customers. Umm okay. it's usually the technical and functional(practicality) feedback, don't see how this recorded review helping. Still you kept me engaged for whole review with 11min spent on Beemer of 19 min video.

So what use was the entire review if your conclusion is what every 12 year old knows?
Learn from Matt Watson.

PS: The X3 is definitely a notch above in engineering, tech, performance and solidity. Never makes you think twice driving over a pothole at 100kph or through unpaved roads or through huge rainstroms. Audi is just more refined and chic. Too refined to make you feel confident as a tough driver.
