Stepping up to a luxury SUV is a big deal and with so many different models on the road these days, it can be daunting to find the perfect one that matches your family's needs. To help you make that important decision, we've put together a side-by-side comparison below of the 2022 Audi Q5 and the 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback. Whether you're wanting a classic SUV or something a little more sporty that's sure to turn heads, Audi Columbus has exactly what you're looking for.

The 2022 Q5 is a dynamic and expressive luxury SUV that's the blueprint for the classic refined family vehicle. The 2022 Q5 Sportback builds on that premise but adds a coupe-inspired sweeping roofline for an elegant yet athletic countenance. Where the Q5 stands bold and strong, the Q5 Sportback is more slick and sleek. Both SUVs seat 5 comfortably with ample head and legroom. The Q5 Sportback offers a roomy 51.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat laid flat while the Q5 delivers 54 cubic feet behind the front seat and standard roof rails for extra room, a feature not found on the Q5 Sportback.

Both the Q5 and the Q5 Sportback deliver standard power-adjustable heated exterior side mirrors, heat-insulated glass, a power liftgate, and LED headlights and taillights. Upgrading trim levels on both SUVs nets you Matrix-designed LED headlights and on the Q5, a panoramic sunroof, a feature that's standard fare on the Q5 Sportback.

When it comes to keeping everyone comfortable and conveniently connected, the 2022 Q5 and Q5 Sportback are on the same track. Both come with a standard three-zone automatic climate control, leather seat covers, heated front seats, and ventilated front seats when you upgrade trim levels. The Audi MMI® infotainment system is standard in both SUVs and comes with a large, easy-to-use 10.1-inch display screen. The Audi smartphone interface with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® is standard fare on both vehicles as well as Bluetooth® for seamless audio streaming. Only the 2022 Q5 Sportback offers the Audi phone box with wireless charging as standard when you upgrade trim levels.

The 2022 Q5 and the Q5 Sportback offer a standard 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a 7-speed S tronic® dual clutch automatic transmission. Both SUVs generate a mighty 261 horsepower and 273 lb/ft torque, allowing you up to 28 MPG on the highway and a towing capacity of up to 4,400 lbs. While the 2022 Q5 Sportback only offers the one engine option, the Q5 boasts a plug-in hybrid model; with the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and the electric motor, it produces a whopping 362 horsepower and 369 lb/ft of torque, hitting 60 MPH from a dead stop in five seconds flat.

Audi Pre Sense® Basic, City, and Rear are standard safety features you'll find on both the 2022 Q5 and Q5 Sportback. In the event of a collision, this technology will help keep you and your passengers safer. The Q5 & Q5 Sportback offer standard Side Assist and Parking System Plus while only the Q5 delivers standard Lane Departure Warning. You can upgrade trim levels on both SUVs to net Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist but only the Q5 offers the available Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus and the innovative Head Up Display with Traffic Sign Recognition.
