2025 Lexus RX vs Audi Q5
Power and Performance: More Options
The 2025 Lexus RX impresses with a robust lineup of powertrains, including a standard 2.4-liter turbocharged engine producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque.
For those seeking efficiency, the RX offers multiple hybrid variants, with the RX 350h achieving up to 37 mpg city and the RX 500h F SPORT delivering a thrilling 367 horsepower. While there’s no Audi on the list, Lexus dominates the Kelley Blue Book rankings with the 2025 Lexus RX at number one for luxury hybrid SUVs..
In comparison, the Audi Q5’s base engine offers less power (201–261 hp), and while it does have a plug-in hybrid option, it falls short of the RX’s hybrid efficiency and versatility. 
Interior Space: Everyday Practicality
Phoenix families and commuters will appreciate the Lexus RX’s spacious and comfortable cabin. The RX provides rear headroom of 38.6 inches and rear legroom of 37.4 inches, matching or exceeding the 2025 Audi Q5’s dimensions.
Where the RX truly shines is in cargo space, offering 29.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats—more than the Audi Q5’s 25.9 cubic feet. The RX’s standard cargo hold is more practical for daily use and errands around the Valley.
Advanced Technology: Setting Benchmarks
The RX is equipped with a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an available 14-inch touchscreen, providing a seamless and intuitive interface for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. The RX also offers the premium 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system and Lexus Digital Key technology.
The 2025 Audi Q5 in Phoenix counters with a digital cluster (11.9 or 12.3 inches, depending on trim) and a Bang & Olufsen audio system, but the RX’s larger screens and more immersive audio options give it the edge for tech-savvy drivers. 
Safety, Reliability, and Peace of Mind
Safety is a top priority for Phoenix drivers, and the Lexus RX delivers with a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS, advanced features like Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, and a reputation for industry-leading reliability.
Lexus consistently outperforms Audi in long-term dependability and lower maintenance costs, making the RX a smarter investment for Arizona families seeking worry-free ownership. Plus the RX owner benefits from longer warranties than the 2025 Audi Q5 owner. 
Climate Comfort: Stay Cool in the Arizona Heat
The Lexus RX keeps things cool with fully automatic dual-zone climate controls. In addition to dedicated rear air conditioning vents, Lexus provides rear HVAC controls to allow your backseat riders to handle their own air conditioning needs. These systems ensure all passengers stay comfortable, even during Phoenix’s hottest summers.
The RX’s intuitive controls and reputation for quiet, refined cabin operation make it especially well-suited to Arizona’s climate. Plus the Lexus RX offers ventilated front seats in more models than the Q5. You’ll also find second-row outboard ventilated seats in some Lexus RX models, but not in the Q5.
