Audi Q5 vs Land Rover LR4

Two large SUVs, compared on the same official records: MOT and inspection results, safety ratings, fuel use, recalls and owner complaints. 2 like-for-like measures: the Audi Q5 leads on 1, the Land Rover LR4 on 0, 1 too close to call.

Where each one leads

Land Rover LR4

Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.

Too close to call: new York safety inspections failed, against cars of the same year.

Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
