BMW X7 vs Audi Q7

When it comes to choosing a luxury SUV, you want premium materials, high-tech features, and thrilling performance all in one complete package. Both the 2023 BMW X7 and the 2023 Audi Q7 offer an extensive array of luxurious amenities. So, how do you know which one will best support your drives around Rochester Hills.

To give an idea of how these two competitors match up head-to-head, our team at BMW of Rochester Hills created the following comparison.

Standard Interior Features: BMW X7 vs Audi Q7

In each SUV, you will find an array of standard features that enhance the cabin and driving experience. Up above, the Audi Q7 comes with a standard panoramic sunroof and the BMW X7 has a standard Panoramic Glass Roof with a fully automatic, 2-piece glass panel. These extra windows to the world can easily elevate every ride by filling the cabin with natural light and letting in fresh air.

When it comes to temperature control front to back, though, the BMW offers a bit more. While the Audi Q7 comes with a standard 3-zone automatic climate control system, the BMW X7 allows everyone to optimize their comfort even more with its standard automatic 4-zone climate control system.

Surface Materials: 2023 BMW X7 vs 2023 Audi Q7

The BMX 7 also sets you up for year-round comfort with its standard sustainable, high-quality vegan surface material, Sensafin. This unique upholstery features timeless 3-dimensional quilting and perforation for extra comfort on hot days.

If you like the sound of Sensafin, unfortunately, in the Audi Q7, you won't find a standard sustainable material option.

Engine Performance & Towing Capacity: BMW X7 vs Audi Q7

As you can see, both the BMW X7 and the Audi Q7 offer a lot of similar features. However, you begin to see a real difference when you look under the hood.

The BMW X7 comes with a standard 375-horsepower 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine with eBoost 48V mild hybrid technology. This blend of efficiency and power makes for a fun-filled ride with fewer stops to fill up.

In comparison, the Audi Q7 features a somewhat less robust 261-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that drivers may feel is less quick to accelerate.

Both models also come with smooth-shifting transmissions and capable all-wheel drive systems:

Drivers looking for an incredibly responsive engine with hair-raising acceleration and the option to engage with different shift modes will appreciate the 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine and shift modes in the 2023 BMW X7.

Along with offering a more robust engine, the BMW X7 offers a greater standard towing capacity too. While the base Audi Q7 can tow up to 4,4000 pounds when properly equipped, the BMW X7 can tow up to 5,400 pounds when properly configured.

That level of capability means you can bring your waterski boat or camping trailer on your next day trip to the lake or weekend under the stars. If you like the idea of bringing extra creature comforts with you when you travel, then the BMW X7 may suit your needs better.
