Audi Q5 2020 vs Porsche Macan 2018
| Gearbox: | Manual/Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Audi Q5) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Porsche Macan) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 204 HP | 252 HP | |
| Torque: | 400 NM | 370 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 7.6 seconds | 6.7 seconds | |
|
Porsche Macan is a more dynamic driving. Audi Q5 engine produces 48 HP less power than Porsche Macan, but torque is 30 NM more than Porsche Macan. Due to the lower power, Audi Q5 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.9 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.4 | 7.4 | |
|
The Audi Q5 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Audi Q5 consumes 2 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Porsche Macan, which means that by driving the Audi Q5 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 300 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 65 litres | 65 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1200 km in combined cycle | 870 km in combined cycle | |
| 1300 km on highway | 980 km on highway | ||
| Audi Q5 gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Audi Q5 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Porsche Macan might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Audi Q5 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Porsche Macan 2018 2.0 engine: This engine, while more reliable than previous versions of the EA88 series, still has several characteristic issues. The main problems include:
Timing chain stretching. The chain typically lasts around ... More about Porsche Macan 2018 2.0 engine | |||
