Compare the Audi Q7 vs BMW X7
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are choosing between these luxury seven-seaters, both provide standard air suspension that delivers a comfortable ride, and each can seat adults in the third row. Inside, both also share a frustrating move towards managing climate functions through touchscreen menus rather than physical switches. The BMW X7 holds the advantage for outright engine power, yet their urban manners differ. While the Audi Q7 is very easy to drive around town thanks to standard four-wheel steering, multiple cameras and a smooth gearbox, the sheer bulk of the X7 means it is not an easy car to drive through narrow city streets.
