Audi Q5 dimensions – UK exterior and interior sizes

The Audi Q5 is a stylish and premium family SUV that does almost everything very well indeed – as you can read in our Audi Q5 review. However it’s not the only posh SUV out there – it’s a rival to the likes of the Mercedes GLC, Jaguar F-Pace, Porsche Macan and BMW X3. Read on to see how the Q5 compares to these cars in terms of size, and how it will fit into your life.

Exterior dimensions

The Audi Q5 is slightly longer than the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC, but it’s only a matter of a few millimetres so the interior space isn’t vastly different to its rivals. It’s also wider than the X3 and GLC, but shorter and narrower than the Jaguar F-Pace.

At 1,659mm, the  Q5 of one of the tallest SUVs around.

Interior dimensions

Buy a Q5 and you’ll have more front headroom than either the coupe-like Jaguar F-Pace or the BMW X3, and it’s only a few millimetres shy of the Mercedes GLC. It’s the same story for headroom in the rear – it’s 7mm less than the GLC but 4mm more than the X3 and 21mm more than the F-Pace.

The rear shoulder room in the Q5 is slightly less than both the GLC and the X3 – the Audi’s 1,434mm plays 1,436mm and 1,458mm respectively – meaning that if you regularly travel with three passengers in the back, long journeys might not be quite so comfortable.

Boot space

Besides the large 650-litre boot in the longer Jaguar F-Pace, the Q5 has exactly the same amount of boot space as the Mercedes GLC and BMW X3: 550 litres.

It’s the same story with the seats down, too. The F-Pace is well ahead of the chasing pack with 1,740 litres, compared to a nice, round 1,600 litres in the X3 and GLC. In the Audi, the official figure is 50 litres smaller, although the boot opening is a very usable and practical shape.

Fuel tank and turning circle

Here’s where the Audi does better than its competitors. It has a 70-litre fuel tank, which is three litres more than the BMW, four more than the Mercedes and 10 more than the Jaguar.

It’s also the mid-size SUV with the smallest turning circle, but it’s not a big difference compared to its rivals. The Q5 can turn around in 11.7 metres – the others all manage it in between 11.8 and 11.9 metres.

Weight and towing capacity

With a weight of up to 1,770kg, the Q5 is one of the lightest in its class and it’s only beaten by the aluminium-bodied F-Pace. The GLC weighs 75kg more than the Q5 and the heaviest X3 tips the scales at a lardy 1,935kg.

Most of these vehicles can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 2,400kg, and all can tow an unbraked trailer weighing up to 750kg. However, the GLC can tow slightly more at 2,500kg.
