Range Rover Velar vs Audi Q5

A luxury SUV like the Range Rover Velar or the Audi Q5 should give you refined style and useful features on top of a fully capable drivetrain. So, which one of these high-end SUVs has more of what you’re looking for?

The team at Land Rover Baton Rouge put together this 2020 Range Rover Velar vs. Audi Q5 comparison to help drivers in Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Lafayette decide.

2020 Range Rover Velar vs Audi Q5 Cargo Room

Inside both the 2020 Range Rover Velar and the Audi Q5, you’ll find a luxurious interior with fine leather seats and comfortable space for up to five people. There’s also plenty of room to bring lots of cargo with you.

The Range Rover Velar provides you with a large trunk with 29.4 cubic feet of cargo room. There are a few convenient options, though, if you have even more to load. Roof rails are available for tying larger items, like kayaks and Christmas trees, up top. Plus, the split rear seats can quickly fold down to give you up to 60.2 cubic feet of storage space.

The interior of the 2020 Audi Q5 is also roomy and includes folding seats in the second row, but it doesn’t have as much space. With the back seats upright, you’ll only have 25.1 cubic feet of cargo room, while folding them down gives you just 53.1 cubic feet of space.

2020 Range Rover Velar vs Audi Q5 Infotainment System

The 2020 Range Rover Velar will help you stay on the right path while enjoying your drive with the Touch Pro™ Duo infotainment system. This features two 10-inch Touchscreens on your dashboard.

Thanks to voice control, you can conveniently change songs on SiriusXM® Satellite Radio or put a destination into the navigation system without removing your hands from the wheel. It’s also Bluetooth® compatible, so you can safely make and receive hands-free phone calls.

The 2020 Audi Q5 also has a Bluetooth®-compatible infotainment system with navigation and lots of music options. However, it’s a little harder to read and control. There’s only one 8.3-inch screen and it sits on top of your dashboard instead of seamlessly positioned in the center.

2020 Range Rover Velar vs Audi Q5 Capability

The 2020 Range Rover Velar makes sure you can get through any conditions with standard All Wheel Drive, Adaptive Dynamics, and Electronic Traction Control. This monitors your traction and can split your torque evenly or send 100% of it to either the front or rear axle.

That torque management can come in handy when you want to take extra cargo on your journey. The Velar has a towing capacity of up to 5,511 pounds, so you can bring a boat or trailer with you. Plus, the Terrain Response® system helps get your cargo over any ground with seven adjustable drive modes. In addition to Comfort and Eco modes, they also include:

  • Grass/Gravel/Snow
  • Mud and Ruts
  • Sand
  • Dynamic
  • Rock Crawl

You can also confidently drive over any bumps or obstacles in the road with its high 9.9-inch ground clearance.

The 2020 Audi Q5 also has standard all-wheel drive with its quattro® system, but it can’t send 100% of the torque to the rear axle. This doesn’t do its 4,400-pound towing capacity any favors. While it also has selectable drive modes, there are only five to choose from. It also sits lower at only 8.2 inches above the ground
