2022 Lexus RX 350 Vs 2022 Audi Q5.. Decisions 

See my Pros & Cons Video for the Audi Q5: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dm8jWe_REaI.html

Interesting comparison. Size wise, the RX is closer to Q7 than Q5. In where I live, a used RX (2016-2018) would cost you 50-80% more than a Q5. They cost even a lot more than the Q7 here. Q5 (and Audis in general) is a great car but if I could find a RX roughly in the same price range, I would opt for the Lexus. And this coming from someone who had Audis for almost 30 years in the family :)

Lexus all day long ! Also I think the Lexus looks nicer .

It is such kind of reviews that sways some people into getting an Audi. I own an Audi Q5 and that has see the repair garadge to the tune of 20k usd out of warranty. And to put it in perspective, it has about 85k miles on it. I also have a toyota camary and its over 15 years old. The car is still flawless. I have yet to take it for one signigicant repair. The only flaw in the camary was the battery went out after 4 years sadly and it has taken the cheapest oil change money can buy. Audi's are great if you plan to lease them and get rid of them. All handling goes out of the window, once your audi starts to break down post warranty. I still own the Q5 and will probably keep it, but if it keeps going back to the garadge, then its going to be out

I stay with my vehicles for 7 to 10 years.....Lexus quality and reliability blows the Audi away!

great comparison , but i need my cars to last more , so would prefer the lexus .

This might seem silly. But, I love how the Audi steering wheels feel when gripping them. They aren’t super fat.

Lease European, buy Japanese. I’m undecided between the GX460 and the RX350. Had an RX and it was excellent; both the RX and GX are going away and I prefer naturally aspirated engines. Head says RX, heart says GX. Keep up the excellent work!

If i want a car for 5 or much more years, i get the Lexus, but if not, maybe only for 2 - 4 years, i get the Audi, thank you Kevin.

There are just less mpg and acceleration , well handling on each turn , quite carbin, smooth on pump that made me go for Audi Q5

Please do this comparison again with the new 2023 RX, it should be very interesting

The Lexus interior looks lovely bro happy Friday and have a happy weekend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤝🏽👍🏾👍🏾😎

Easy pick for me without hesitation: LEXUS 👍

Shutting the doors on the Q5 are very solid feeling.

Great Video and comparison, we went through this decision making process before we decided to go with Audi Q5 last year. The feeling in the Q5 is simply great when compared to the RX. RX is a great car, reliable but we felt it's very dull and lacks that punch. Agree with the reliability with Japanese cars, my previous MDX had all kinds of issues with transmission, suspension replaced. With that bad experience we decided to go with Audii Q5. From price point of view Q5 was cheaper vs RX and had lot of more better tech and better interior compared to RX, RX interior felt outdated. Few of our friends have owned Q5 since 2016 and they have enjoyed and it's been reliable since 6+ years of ownership.I just hope our Audi lasts 8-10 years without any major repairs. RX will outlast Q5 only for its history in reliability. The engine and Transmission in the recent Audi's have been out there for sometime and reported to be reliable. Again it's personal choice when comparing these 2 cars.

Great video. I bought the Lexus because I think the v6 is more likely to last at least 250k miles.

0 to 60 seriously i don't know why people interested about 0 to 60 crab doesn't really important I really wish to know the importance of 0 to 60 for the average person not for racers

One fact you missed was that the RX actually runs on regular vs premium on the audi not that its the biggest deal but just a interesting note. Good video still of course though 👍

Excellent review Kevin, if it's all the same to you, I'm going to go with the RX, check engine lights and the like are not as enjoyable as you age a little. I love Audi lines.......but I'm staying over here. I'll spare you my Audi experience, but I will say at night the check engine/brakeABS/ all coming on at once......kinda throws a man into some trauma.

🗣Lexus"Lexus"Lexus!! The Rx Is Just "PURE CLASS" On Wheels, + It's Far Nicer L👀king Than The Audi Q5!!! I'm a 2023 Lexus 450h Premium Sport Owner Here!! love"Love"LOVE IT!!! 😍😘💕💖💓🚘

I rarely saw my new Audi S3 I had a few years ago. It was constantly in the garage with warranty work.. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

Thank you for this one

Excellent observations

The cost of the "lease and dump" plan of car -ownership- usage is exorbitant. The example you're giving at 30:20 shows a Total Cost = $22,668 over 36 months, which is $7,556 per year, or $630 per month. It's easy to look at a cost/month and say "I makes the good money, I can afford this luxury," but good lord, $7500 a year is a lot of money out the old window. And 7% interest. Yuck. Something must be wrong with me, as I am aiming to spend $2000 a year. Even in the crazy used car market recently, you can get a decent car for $15k, even a good used Lexus (does a good used Audi exist?). Hang onto that cream puff (if you bought it smartly) for 5 years and sell it for $10k, Spend the remaining $1k per year on keeping a used car running, which may or may not be generous depending on how hard you treat a car, random chance, etc. Also, with the way the used market has been, your cream puff might still be worth $14k. Cash up front is what's required, which can be tough. Anyway, between the 2 examples above, I prefer the Lexus for various reasons, probably mostly because in this segment, you're not setting fast lap times, so prioritize comfort for you and your passengers above all else. If you don't have passengers very often, buy a Miata. Good presentation as always, and a fair comparison. Keep up the great work!

For me it was hard decison, Rx vs X3 vs Q5. RX steering wheel is very stiff., very difficult to drive for my sisters. X3 was the best overall, spacious and love handking but it was just to ugly. Q5 was the easiest drive but rear seat was not for adult so tiny compare to RX or X3. In the end i picked Q5 because it was easy to drive.

Great video...BUT fundamentally flawed. Your "well the cost is the same" argument wouldn't work for most buyers. The real comparison would be the NX. Size, cost, aand engines. The RX is significantly larger and has 3rd row option. It is meant for a totally different market niche. You could match the cost, size, weight, agility, turbo engine and performance that would resonate with you with the NX. The NX And RX F-Sport would also give you suspension, wheel and tire options to be the comparison point for people cross shopping the brands.

Great review bro the Lexus as a first choice for me can see it being and feeling special as u said in one of your replies 😎🤝👍🏾👍🏾

I would gladly go with the Lexus for its bullet proof reliability, but dear Lord, why oh why it is so FUGLY! That grill is horrendous.

I feel the same way about the Lexus touch screen, I use mine all the time, even though I have a touch screen.

My next question would be, take the 22 RX or wait until the 23 comes out? Thanks.

Audi Q5 requires you you to go to the prestige trim in order to get ventilated seats where as the lexus its just a warm weather pkg or option I believe

Great comparison Kevin, but for me I'd take the Lexus as they don't shaft you on warranty here in Aus, but I'd love to have it as the Lexus interior inside the Q5's exterior and yeah I'd probably leave the drive train too of the Q5 and then I think you'd have the right combo, I'm just not a huge fan of all the Lexus exterior design elements, some of their cars look great just not all.

Yo bro have a great day and weekend 🤝😎

gotta love the German engineering ... but they also have the science called functional obsolescence figured out ...

Tip for having an Audi or any German cars: Drive them in an area with nearby repair shops by year 3/4 Tip for owning Japanese cars except for Nissan/Infiniti: Drive them anywhere, anytime.

Hi Kevin, thank you for this. I need help. I’m torn between these two 2023. But I also have two dogs that I want to keep occasionally for a very short time in the car with the AC on, do any of these cars have this option? Thank u

Going to the game tomorrow in Greenville?

You're smarter when you brought 4cyl audi vs Lexus rx350 just because even 4cyl audi q5 always let Lexus behind for smelling smog all time

All hail algorhythm 🙌🏻 😂

Audi Q5 interior is much nicer! Owned Lexus and Toyota all my life, never getting them again.

👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Lease and dump any and all German made vehicles with VW being the somewhat exception.. Even then.

Q5 any day. The Lexus RX is the worst option in the class. In the midsize segment heck even the Infiniti QX60 beats this by a mile.

LEXUS ❤
