Audi Q5 vs. Audi Q7 Specs

The Audi Q5 and Q7 are powerful machines. Each offers responsive handling with standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, but you'll find different power levels. The Audi Q5 makes 201 horsepower on its entry-level model, 261 horsepower on its second-level trim, and 362 horsepower on its third, plug-in hybrid trim level. In its own category is the Audi SQ5, which uses a 3.0-liter V-6 engine to make 349 horsepower.

The Audi Q7 takes turbocharged precision to the next level. It opens up on the 261-horsepower-producing 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with which the Audi Q5 is available, but its middle-tier option bumps the power output to 335 with its 3.0-liter V-6 engine. The final model – again, with its own name, the Audi SQ7 – pumps out a whopping 500 horsepower on a strong and responsive 4.0-liter V-8 engine.
