2019 BMW X5 vs Audi Q5

What's the difference?

The new fourth-generation BMW X5 is a bit predictable.

You guessed it - this new 2019 BMW X5 is bigger, has more technology, and has more of a focus on luxury than any version that has come before it.

And of course BMW thinks it'll be a success story in Australia, because more than 55,000 X5s have been sold here since the original model launched in 2001.

So what's the new one like? We've got the entry-level xDrive30d version here to find out.

The Q5 is the most popular SUV in Audi’s line-up and for good reason, or for at least seven good reasons, as you’ll see after reading this review of the 50 TDI Quattro Sport.

Yes, if you’ve been looking at BMW’s X3 or Mercedes-Benz’s GLC you need to stop and read this before you make any final decisions, because I’ve just lived with this Q5 for a week and, having handed it back, I’m missing it already. Which is really saying something, because I’m now test driving a Bentley Bentayga.
