Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Audi Q2 uses a Petrol producing 110kW and 250Nm of torque, sent through a s tronic to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 8.6 seconds.
The Audi Q5 responds with a 4-cylinder inline petrol with turbocharging and MHEV plus technology making 150kW and 340Nm, paired to a 7-speed s tronic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8.6 seconds.
The Audi Q5 has the clear power advantage at 150kW vs 110kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Audi Q2 measures 4,208mm long on a 2,601mm wheelbase, 509mm shorter than the Audi Q5 at 4,717mm (2,820mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Audi Q5 generally means more rear legroom.

For towing, the Audi Q5 leads with a 2,000kg braked capacity vs 1,200kg. That 800kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Audi Q2's turning circle is 1.3 m tighter, 10.5 m against 11.8 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Audi Q2 costs about $1,568 a year (5.5 L/100km) and fuel for the Audi Q5 about $1,625 a year (5.7 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $57 a year less for the Audi Q2.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Audi Q2) and 5 years / Unlimited (Audi Q5). Capped-price servicing: no data (Audi Q2), 5 years (Audi Q5).
Where each one leads
The Audi Q2: the lower starting price ($49,400 against $80,900) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,568 a year against $1,625).
The Audi Q5: more power (150kW against 110kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (520L against 405L) and the higher braked towing limit (2,000kg against 1,200kg).
The Verdict
Audi Q5 scores higher, 76 vs 71
The Audi Q5 scores 76 to the Audi Q2's 71 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 3 of the 5 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: safety (Audi Q5 ahead by 27 points), value (Audi Q2 ahead by 12 points), practicality (Audi Q5 ahead by 12 points).

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
