Audi Q5 TFSI Design (2018) vs Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer who values premium branding, refined handling and a compact luxury SUV, the 2018 Audi Q5 TFSI Design is the better fit, but it comes at a significantly higher price of ₱5,250,000. The Q5’s 2.0‑liter turbo‑charged diesel inline‑4 delivers 250 PS and 370 Nm, which is adequate for city driving and occasional highway cruising, while its AWD system and premium interior cater to urban commuters who prefer a smaller footprint. However, the Q5’s seating is limited to 2+2 and its length is unspecified, indicating a more compact cabin. In contrast, the 2018 Ford Expedition Limited MAX, priced at ₱4,258,000, offers a massive 3.5‑liter twin‑turbo V6 gasoline engine with 375 PS and 640 Nm, plus a 10‑speed automatic and 4WD, making it far more powerful and capable of heavy loads. Its 5‑door, body‑on‑frame construction and 5,636 mm length provide ample interior space for 8 passengers (2+3+3), ideal for large families or group travel. The Expedition’s warranty is also longer (3 years/100,000 km). Choose the Audi if you prioritize luxury, compact size, and diesel efficiency for city use; choose the Ford if you need maximum power, seating capacity, and a lower purchase price for family or utility purposes.
