- The Audi Q5 is a great family SUV, but it faces touch competition in the premium SUV class. I pit it against the winners of two previous group tests - the Mercedes GLC and the Jaguar F-PACE - to find out which is best.

Audi : simple neat and tidy !
Jag : Looks awesome
Merc : Classy !
Best exterior: F-Pace (sportyness)
Best interior: GLC (comfort)
Best technology: Q5 (practical)
I agree with the vid; best all around is the Q5
I' get the F-Pace though
D R I didn’t watch the vid yet but I guess the Q5 wins though
All black f pace looks sooooooooo darn good
iXii000: Have you ever owned a black car and tried to keep it looking look incredible for about 35 minutes, if you sneeze next to it or live near the coast it’s a magnet for shite of every order.
I’ve sold my black Audi and gone to a metallic grey Merc, I am a happy man.
@@PhilbyFavourites Credible until the last sentence.
damn that transition 2:06
Miguel Noya Vargas you can thank our editor Jack Scotton for that slick move.
Well please thank him for me, and keep up the great videos!
that looked like something from the Need For Speed games.
and the music matches 2!!!
fast & furious and need for speed mix :D
Jaguar design/ride/handling + Mercedes interior + Audi quality = perfect .... if only!

@@ozzieatman2086 Nice one :)
F-Pace all the way, such a good looking car
@VinAr Run That's a lie, its as good or as bad as current glc, q5 and x3. I like that model, it always look special and exotic when you see it on the street.
@VinAr Run I've had an xf & f pace . You plainly have no clue what you're talking about
Did you experience the other two? Or are you trying to justify your spend? 😂
@@me-us1lwI’ve had both Jag and Q5. It’s nicer inside the Q5 in many ways. My personal opinion of course.
Very good looking, indeed, but so far away in reliability. We have had a Land Rover Freelander 2 and I we would never buy a JGL product again.
The jag looks so good murdered out
Jaguar F pace looks so good 🖤

kukakevin the fuck r u on about? British founder made in Britain designed and engineered in Britain
Recently and Indian company named tata has owned it and provided it with key parts to engineer the cars.
Case solved
Edward Ryan tata owned it in 2009
I guess you gotta google it
Same as volvo becomes chinese
Same Jaguar Land Rover is Indian
@@madhur.kapoor no, volvo is still Swedish and no Jaguar remains British as both are still based and registered in their home country in Gothenburg, Sweden and Coventry, UK along with everything that the previous guy said, in fact Tata made Jaguar more British and freer as a company than ever as they are not involved in the engineering apart from requesting certain design elements and cars and doesnt use their partsbin to supply parts for Jaguar unlike Ford and BMW, its previous owners. Besides, Tata's website even said Jaguar Land Rover is British and actually Tata's Harrier is the one thats slightly British now as it uses the same platform as the Disco Sport, and no im neither British, Swedish or Indian.
I often agree with the verdict but not this time. I've driven the F-pace and GLC and I have to say that the F-pace feels so much more special (for me) than the German. It's the best SUV money can buy, because it doesn't feel like an SUV.
hes right about the suspension. doesnt handle roads witht he most grace
I'd take the f pace
I just test drove both the F-Pace (25t Premium) and the GLC 300 this weekend. On the F-Pace there is a selector for the driving mode, in "normal" the suspension soaked up the bumps. Switching to "dynamic" mode not only drastically changed the throttle response but also stiffened the ride considerably. In the GLC when the driving mode was changed to from "comfort" to "sport" any changes it may do to the ride were not noticeable, but the throttle response was sportier.
GLC's rare looks pretty awesome, the Jag looks pretty new and fresh, and the Audi.. We have the old generation Q5 and personally I think it looks better than the new one.
I test drove all the above models plus the BMW X3 but decided to chose the GLC over the others due the GLC’s equipment. I have the AMG line 250d premium plus model which has a pano roof, electric memory seats, upgraded sound system, larger info system. I don’t think I could revert back to manually adjusting my seat from now on and the pano roof let’s so much light. Drives decent and reasonably quick too. Very happy with my purchase.
Hey, I'm looking at buying a 250d, what's it like with fuel and mpg?
After months of research I just pushed the button and picked the Audi Q5 against the likes of Jaguar, Mercedes, and BMW. My picked was similar to your as the best blend of driving experience, sporty ride, comfort, and everyday use. Thanks for posting such a great review!
That Audi may be great and all but the "Newness" on the outside is a fail. GLC it is for me...
Wessel Erasmus iagree
So you buy an suv for the design? most people just want an comfortable and practical car, it doesn't has to be full of racing inspired features
Ewwww if design I wouldn’t take the merc but its just me
Genji San yeah its just you
@@genjisan3424 no its not
The channel should be called "audiwow".You don't need to watch the video to know that the audi is the winner, Audi A1 vs S650 maybach : Audi is definitively better.
Vinícius Magnoni this comment made me crease a bit can’t lie😂😂😂🤣🤣
I agree I have a Q5 for 6+ years and its great, practical, luxurious and a great companion
Just bought the wife a ‘19 f pace 25t and we absolutely love it. I’m a sports car guy and driving the f pace isn’t a big step down as far as “fun” factor.
Audi - simple and elegant.
Mercedes might have the best look, would take it over all of them.
Jag is nice too.
I have drove the glc 300 for work and it's just amazing. The silence of the ride is sublime and comfort is unique in it's class. Don't get me wrong, i also love the audi. It would be a real deal breaker to chose between the two.
I had enough time to learn the mercedes infotainment and yes, it is more complicated. The audi's mmi is just 100% intuitive. But the mercedes infotainment really has more options in its system, you can do anything with it.
I personally love the new q5 design, it looks like a car made for the north and ski trips. So for a canadian, it's quite appealing. But the glc also has that look of: "i can do anything".
Haven driven a Q5 Prestige with MMI for the past four years, and now the new GLC for three months, have to disagree on the Mercedes infotainment. It is not as intuitive nor is it as functional as the Audi. Mercedes has really missed the mark here but otherwise love my GLC
F pace all the way. Will Look elegant for decades
I think the Audi's are made to win comparison tests, not hearts.. both the other cars have more character and looks.
Tareq Ahmed 7
Agree just find Audi’s so boring unless you go for RS4,5 or 6 or an R8
I would prefer Mercedes all the design is far better than it predecessor and no similar looks of it.
I love my Q5. Picked it over the GLC and X5. It combined sportiness with luxury. The other 2 had one or the other. Very happy Q5 owner.
I hope Jag is getting that tech lift from the Range Rover Velar
Great comparison and the only one that is brave enough to speak the truth and criticised the Jag whereas every other UK review think it is the best thing since slice bread
f pace 💗
f pace looks better
yeah mine is white and it looks awsome
To blind people, I tried all 3 in the vid plus BMW X3 And Volvo XC60 and the Audi won, the Jag came last, terrible car to drive, built for the less intelligent Brit
@@markwhitley5032 lol, jaguar is a very good car to drive , a great one to handle .
Jaguar wins on looks hands down! 😎
🤡🤡♿️♿️♿️
Ye Jaguar on looks but comfort?
I choose MB. The problem with Jag is the 100% plastic rear lift gate kills it for me (no steel frame, nothing, just 100% plastic gate). For Audi Q5 (the rest of the VW family), the hard plastic on back of the front row headrest kills it for me. It's like a suicide spot for rear passengers to have their heads smashed in a collision.
I love my GLC. Just class all the way. Test drove the F-Pace; the interior is cheap looking. The Audi looks so boring. Didn't even bother looking at it.
Kira Kjear they always give you the cheapest F-Pace for a test drive. Entry f-pace is £38K and the top spec 3.0 top spec is £65k-£70k and that make a huge different.
Hahah didn’t even bother looking at it??is it because the price tag was too high and you couldn’t afford it ???Keep driving that ugly Glc cause it’s interior is just rubbish and looks cheap
+TheKAPAOPANGO the ugliest is only audi. From both interior and exterior... that car can only play rugby in snow... nothing else... i bet you must be looking in the mirror thats why you think its ugly.
A Lada has more character than an Audi.
Mat: "Suspension is a little bit on the stiff side"
Me: ***mum drives over pothole in her base spec 2007 toyota rav4***
Mat should be on Top Gear, he is funny enough and has all the knowledge to be there
Ive an 3.0 fpace, brother has a GLC and father in law x5. All agree that the fpace is the best car. Turn the gearbox to s and change the mode to dynamic and the fpace becomes a snarling, spitting beast that accelerates and handles like a sports car . The fpace is a Very very accomplished motorcar 😁👍
I’ve got an F Pace and he’s spot on, but wouldn’t change it for the world - love it!
Matt, this plastic box in the merc is for your daily trip to the grocery store. The germans often use them instead of paper or plastic bags.
You should've compared them to the Porsche Macan Matt.. since the Jaguar F-Pace was designed specifically to compete with it!
I love how the Jaguar is all black it’s like a batmobile
I just cant stand the looks of the Audi. Probably one of the most boring looking cars from Germany.
For that reason only, i would never buy it.
With black trim and 20 inch wheels, it looks quite nice
Professor X Are you BMW fan?
SQ5 looks nice... (apart from the fake exhausts)
Nope, if you look at my picture, you can see my preferred brand
Professor X Ok. Same story. BMW and Mercedes fans will always say that Audi is boring.
As normal with Audi's the outside looks boring but the interior is fantastic
Jag f pace love it
The f pace gets a bigger screen if u go for the higher configurations
Edit: and a back camera
I would like the GLC exterior with the Q5 Interior..
nbc89 facts!!!
@@heidirogers9397 why are you gay
@@atharvajoshi1819 should I call you mista?
The thing about the GLC is that I would go for it due to the looks, and that AMG 43 is my pick
The Jag is brilliant tho
Very good comparison. I'm in the market for one of these cars and the more I see of the Audi Q5 the more I like it.
Get the SQ5 if you want the sportier version of the Q5. Of course it’s going to cost you more money, but I think it’s worth it.
As usual your reviews are quite informative (water storage space and all). I'd love know more about previous brand reliability. The problem that plagues these German and European vehicles is the total unreliability in daily use, and tend to be a nightmare to own when the warranty is up. Where as the Japanese stuff, and in particular Toyota just seems to give great trouble free service for the entire life time.
You are talking literal bullshit. Total unreliability? Do you think it's the 80's Alfa Romeos reliability viable for all European cars?
Hats off, that gangsta bit was brilliant! Love it
Merc is such a sexy beast. love it.
ewwww
Mark Stefanac GLC looks so gay. Lol imo
Mark Stefanac yeah no. I'd take the old GLK over the fugly GLC
Mark Stefanac Only GLC id ever want is the new GLC63S
It's easily the ugliest car in the vid
I've had my F-Pace just on 12 months now, and I still love driving it. The SC 3.0ltr is awesome, and the wicked exhaust note still excites. My all-black Prestige looks gorgeous, & turns heads - it's easy to feel good driving it. BUT......the old Jaguar bug-bear of quality remains a problem - it's been back to the dealer with several problems already.....not serious problems, but for this price it should be bug-free...(my X5 was!)A few things irk me - the pricing: I'm in Australia, and heated seats, keyless entry, a CD player, & blindspot assist are all options in the Prestige - not right at this level of motoring. The standard Infotainment system is last-decade technology - my 5 year old X5 was better. I wish I'd known how slow the processor is, and how the touch-screen would frustrate me bcos I'd have paid for the optional Touch Pro package. And what is with the rotary dial gear selector? In use it's slow to operate when flipping from D to R & back when parking, and too easy to inadvertently slip into P. Not a nice feature - I notice they ditched it on the E-Pace. And finally, there is a lack of storage space in the cabin for coins, phone, etc.....and no light in the glove-box - really? In 2016? I hope my review is helpful to a few potential buyers - it's a good car, and a treat to drive, but don't say I didn't warn you about the pricing, features, & quality.
There is a hole on the side board of the centre console in which I could fit my phone, keys and money, I think the f-pace has plenty of cabin space.
Downunder wonder even though the 3.0 in almost top of the range, but the S is a better than V6 portfolio. I have mine upgraded to Navi Pro/dual screen, but it is still slow and crash a few times. Not the best infotainment system on the market for such a premium car.
"It's a little GANGSTER innit??" 😭
Sometimes good looks win over technology. It's the F Pace for me!
Please do a comparison review between Mercedes gls vs q7 vs Land Rover vs land cruiser
Gopala Guru Prabhanjan you have to compare the gle with the q7
Farrakh Bhatti no.
Yes the GLE is the same class as q7
Both ways is gonna be a waste of time
Mercedes will win
My dad has GLS63 .. probably the best SUV in the market rn..maybe the bentley bentayga comes close
Advait Nair You must be very rich then
Volvo XC60 would have been interesting aswell to include
Yves Martens i thought exactly the same!
Yves Martens meh these cars are far more popular and have much better powertrains then the Volvo
I live in the northern hemisphere of europe and i would say that Volvo's are the dominant brand here :p
Also Many taxi's going around in the new S90.
Yves Martens lol Volvo wouldn't even get close it's the most boring car ever, low quality interior, bad seats, bad technology it's just like a Japanese car
It's not out yet, though. In time I'm sure Mat will test it, too.
The Audi looks so boring.
Mgoblagulkablong It looks like the most German cars - boring af but it makes it promised job perfect and you can't complain
so a typical German car
BMWs dont look boring at all tho. Same with the a3 ,a5 or a6.
Mgoblagulkablong yes it is
The Audi always looks "Boring" at the outside, but thats what I feel from the BMWs on the inside, it goes the way around
It´s certainly not a very inspiring exterior - it´s rather Conservative. The F-Pace wins for dynamic looks in this class, and the MB is also better shaped than the Audi. There was a time when Audi launched cars like the TT, the Q7 and those where cars with a lot of distinct character for exterior design and also not to forget the the A5 and A7 Coupe with much elegance - ooh and the R8. But somehow the exteriors of Audi has become a rather rigid affair, very controlled and in my eyes looks like too many perfect lines on the drawing board and too little passion in the actual conversion into real 3D shapes.
I´m not a MB fan but I must say that they have done far more to evolve their DNA progressively than Audi - MB have had many more style studies including more crazy stuff, thus have allowed various of their studios to go quite different directions - this has paid off a long way for exterior expression. And one must also acknowledge Volvo for their re entry after near collapse.
In fact the sad thing is that the Audi Design team does come up with very dynamic concepts, but they all seam to get weathered so much down in the process that nothing much is left when the car finally leaves the production line - and it´s weird since the Audi Interiors are so spot on and up to date, but the exteriors becomes more and more rigid - they even are getting close to being a bit goofy - The front on this Q5 is close to that - that extremely huge metal frame looks light it almost could let the car tip over - not particular elegant.
the opening panoramic sunroof in the f-pace looks sick
Make a new video for the same cars 2020-2021 if you can 😁 im actually trying to decide wich1 to go for
The Audi also has a cheap piece of plastic around the rear air vents... it's just smooth instead of having a textured finish. Mercedes also has metal buttons compared to the audi's plastic ones.
My uncle has a GLC43 and my god, it pushes you back so far 😍
PiCKL3R1CK I have the GLC43 SUV and it’s very fast and good quality
Olu Orgun agreed
imagine what glc63s can do
I have the GLC COUPE 43 i love the look of ot
The AMG is only what it makes It powerful.
And what if compare the F-Pace version that compets directly? You can also get air suspenssion, i think that matter can make a little bit difference, and who knows, it might change the results, don't you think?
Great video Mat!
Audi Q5 is the most sold Luxury SUV in the world for many years now...good luck competing with Elegance. they call it boring because they are classless people. Thw Q5 is most comfortable, is great for snow and off road.
But new Q5 has different awd sistem then old audi Q5. In new Q5 is awd sistem similar haldex sistem and is not always active but on old q5 was torsen. Just to let you know.
I know, the obsession with Torsen is weird. I just test drove the new Q5 on snow just a few weeks ago, Quattro Ultra is way better than Torsen or Haldex, people judge way too quickly based on ignorance.
and VW and Toyota sell more cars then BMW Merc Audi does that make it a better car???????????????
I own a q5 and i agree with you about the functionality. but this new design doesnt excite me one bit
Toyota and Lexus are the most reliable cars and the world(belong to the same company), Volkswagen and Audi(Belong to the same company) are more expensive, have Luxury and more sportiness. Volkswagen Group is number one in the world now, Toyota group is number 2 in the world. Of course they are better, why pay more when you get something that is better for less?
I just ordered the Q5 and now I'm glad I did. Was going to go with the Mercedes, but decided against it. Boring, I don't know..I have a Corvette for sport
it's hard to comprehend how one can pick the safe designed gender neutral audi over the over two cars.
The F Pace for looks, the Merc for reliability
Thanks! When is the SQ5 review due?
Just love how Matt critique's everything
I don't agree with his point. I think the richest feel is the Jaguar, looks the same however the most worth it is got to the the Merc. Thumbs up if u agree with me.
totally right conclusion audi is overall package
love the Q5 and I own one
I am a bit disappointed as I was thinking of the Jaguar F-Pace, love the looks but if the wind noise is apparent then I have to pass, I do around 58 miles of highway and freeway driving daily, so quietness and comfort are important.
Please do a review on the Mercedes GL/GLS
OMG saw one of those on the road the other and I thought 'what is that'?! It has an amazing road presence. Damned huge as well. The Volvo XC90 would be a good comparison, although smaller they both seem to have a similar vibe.
I know right, its road presence is second to none pretty much. The Volvo and the Mercedes are really in different leagues, the Daimler is more expensive and more refined, the Volvo is more like the Q7
I had it as a rental for ten days while in States two weeks ago. I drove the GLS450 4matic+. I can safely say that it's an amazing car. The sound of the engine, is just awesome. Very practical as well. I was able to carry all my luggage, a bike without taking out the wheel and two passengers without any problem. The system works pretty well, but I find that touch thing that hovers over the swivel wheel redundant. I could use the system flawlessly using only the wheel. Heck that touch pad sometimes triggered the appearance of the menu which was annoying.
Whenever I felt like driving more aggressive I put it in sport and could easily overtake multiple cars and at lights, well, I was already several hundred meters ahead of the cars that were just taking off :D
It was a real joy to drive. It's also fun to see the reaction of people.I drove it around in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington and people did turn their heads when they saw it, even in places where Ram 1500's are commonplace. It does take a lot of fuel, I got around 20-22 mpg on a mixed driving style and both on the interstate and in town.
True but the touchpad is most useful when inputting names into the system during driving, as you could just draw the letter with your finger without looking.
lapamful yeah I agree, it has fabulous presence and the designo interior styling pack is just gorgeous.
X3 is the 👑 in the category close with GLC & Q5.
ill go for GLC! loveit!
tintin yeh my mom has a glc43 coupe and my dad has a c63 sedan
No,this is not sponsored by VAG,Audi for the most part has a better product across the board than anyone else,simple as that.
We test drive the Audi recently and it's very stiff, and there is minimal room in the back with the individual seat design. The Mercedes glc is much more comfortable and inviting and easier on the eye by a mile
Sufyan VERY STIFF? you must have had the S line suspension. I drove it with the regular suspension an adaptive dampers and its super comfy. Still ugly though. Merc for me
Biggest lie ever. I own a 2018 q5 s line with 20inch rims and it’s so comfy.stiff ???get the fuck out here. I am 1.90 tall and glc is much smaller car
Id have the big cat. Those crates from mercedes are super useful for the supermarket. Load your stuff in em at the cash register and simply lift the crate in your car. No more plastic bags that rip when you leave the store so better for the environment
🖤 Jaguar F Pace🖤 all the way!!!
come on Citroen, bring back Hydropneumatic suspension! best of both worlds in terms of comfort and cornering!
Matt. I love you so much. I'm first who watch every your review. I own 2013 Audi Q5 and it really annoys me when you say that this new one is same looking as old. I saw it and must say
that new one looks ten times more beautiful, that huge grill is amazing, headlights are also amazing, sexy side line.. and interior... I have nothing to say except .. they nailed it. Please be more realistic when it is about Audi's desing.
SpeedragTech audi have desinging? I dont see it.
@@TB-pu9qm he must be blind

Greetings from Germany

The GLC is such a classy, good looking car.
I have a Q5 and I love it but I like the looks of the GLC
BMW X3 is not included here for some reason ? Not sure if marketing stuff or It’s too different specs.
Mat you're just so amazing 😉 i love the way you review cars 🚗
It was a very tough decision for me to purchase an F pace or a Q5. I only chose the Q5 because it was German made. However, I still regret not getting the F pace because it looks so damn good but at the end of the day I am looking for Practicality and functionality and although the Q5 doesn’t look good to me versus these other two vehicles, I love the way it drives and I’m happy with my purchase.
The bezels on the glc screen! Haha.
take the fpace exterior design, Mercedes interior design, and take the q5's Quattro performance and interior technology then you got a bomb ass car
YASSS AUDI ♥️♥️#audi
I have the q5 2018 and I have to say if your a owner of these s mode (sports mode) is fast I'm mean fast and such good technology with virtual cockpit and you can have manual with automatic with two options for manual
I'll wait for the XC60 or the new X3
1. Jaguar
2. Mercedes
3. Audi
I don't care if the audi looks boring, it's still sexy af
4 scoops GODDAMMIT agree
4 scoops GODDAMMIT Audi, the best
It depends what you want in a car. The Audi and Merc are in the traditional, family friendly SUV sector.
Jaguar can't build a traditional SUV without encroaching on its sister company's (Land Rover) territory.
The Jaguar is a sports car in the shape of an SUV. If you have to drive an SUV due to circumstance but prefer more exciting and dynamic performance, the Jag is the only option (it's the best looking by far, too).
The Audi is Grandma sexy. If you're into Grandma's. Not that there's anything wrong with Grandma's. The F-Pace looks way better.
that audi is not sexy at all, the audi is the ugliest of the 3, at least the mercedes has 1 good side (rear), if these cars were actresses then the audi would be sigourney weaver, the mercedes would be uma therman & the jag would be jessica alba
awesome review matt. a fan all the way from Trinidad.
where is the volvo??
Not sure but I doubt that it will be any competition for the Audi Q5. Will probably get outdone just like the Q7 did to the XC90.

If you like the Audi Q5 but think it could be more exciting, just buy the DS7 Crossback. Looks similar, but much better. Inside and out :)
the f pace in black mmm baaad
Why do you always say most people are going to go for the diesel if statistics (including CarWow statistics) show that diesels have become less popular (44%)?
I would go everyday for the audi. It looks so much more premium than the other cars.
daniel Nowadays audi look generic. Mercedes and BMW are destroying audi this generenation. Glad owner of an A4 B8.
Jrv200008 mercedes yes bmw no their interior is still looking the same since 2010
Jrv200008 Mercedes all look the same s class, e class, c class, a class they all are boring too
daniel are you 80 years old. The Audi looks like it is 10-15 years past it’s prime.
I completely disagree. The Audi looks way more like a normal car then a premium car. In my opinion, the Mercedes is by far the most premium looking car and is overall better. I think it should have won the test.
Mercs and Audi are far too common , jaguar is so much appealing and good looks
Too bad they’re garbage
@@gallonofpatrick Garbage in what? The only bad thing about JLR is that they do not have the best history when it comes to reliability. Other than that, their cars are amazing and easily carry more prestige than any germans.
