However, we know looks mean nothing if it's all bark and no bite. The Tayron is fitted with a roaring 1.4L turbocharged engine that delivers 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque, allowing it to go from 0-100km in 9.2 seconds. The Audi Q5 has a little more edge, though, featuring a thrilling 2.0L engine that goes from 0-100km in 8.1 seconds and offers 140kW of power and 400Nm of torque.
The Q5's interior does not disappoint with its premium cabin and innovative technology. From its 10.1'' MMI touch display with voice control and 12.3'' digital instrument cluster to its luxurious leather seats, this gorgeous SUV is a heavenly experience. VW gives Audi a run for its money with the Tayron, offering a modern and digital cockpit that has a 12.9'' infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It doesn't stop there, as this incredible SUV has a 7-seat configuration in its Life and R-line models and, not to mention, brilliant ambient lighting with up to 30 colours.
While both SUVs offer phenomenal safety features like electronic stability control, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking, the Tayron goes the extra mile with a child detection system, fatigue detection and 9 airbags. Although the Audi Q5 has a more intricate driver attention detection and driver fatigue monitor.
Choosing between the two could be a challenge. However, the remarkable team at Autohaus Centurion is ready to make things easier for you, so give us a call or book a test drive today!
