Audi Q5 vs Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Summary: Arriving midway through the model year, the 2025 Audi Q5 compact SUV marks the first redesign of the German luxury brand’s bestselling model since the 2018 model year. That redesign brings Audi’s current design language and tech suite, helping the Q5 keep pace with more recently updated rivals such as the BMW X3, Lexus NX, and Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Verdict: There’s plenty to like about the new Q5, but it’s far from being the definitive small luxury SUV.

If you are in the market for a small luxury SUV there are a dizzying array of options. Nearly all offer comfortable interiors, the latest infotainment and safety technology, and refined, responsive driving dynamics. So how does any vehicle stand out in this segment? The 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque manages to distinguish itself as a capable vehicle when venturing off paved roads. Most crucially, the Evoque delivers these abilities without sacrificing on-road comfort.

The Range Rover Evoque was redesigned for the 2020 model year. Land Rover then updated the infotainment system for 2021. These features all contribute toward a capable, comfortable crossover that distills elements of its larger Range Rover siblings into a small-SUV format.
