It's the BMW X7 vs. the Audi Q7-let's see who comes out on top!
BMW X7 vs Audi Q7: Luxurious Interiors
Both SUVs have lavishly appointed interiors with seating for seven passengers. As you settle into the available leather-trimmed seats, you'll realize the BMW X7 has more room to stretch out. It boasts 41.9 inches of headroom up front and another 39.9 inches in the second row. The Q7 only has 39.9 inches up front and 38.8 inches in the second row.You'll get to tailor the comfort inside these SUVs to perfectly suit your needs. They both offer the following amenities:
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Multi-contour front seats
- Automatic climate control
- Panoramic moonroof
Whether it's a sunny afternoon or a starry night, you'll get better views with the panoramic moonroofs available in these SUVs, but only the BMW X7 will give you a show. Its moonroof can be transformed into the Panoramic Sky Lounge. This available feature comes with color-changing LED lights that will really illuminate the night sky.
Who Has the Safer SUV?
Whether you're cruising solo or you have the whole family in tow, peace of mind is paramount. That's why both SUVs come with systems that prepare the vehicles for impact if an imminent collision is detected. They do so by automatically closing the windows, tightening the seat belts, and activating post-crash braking.The BMW X7 and the Audi Q7 can also be outfitted with Adaptive Cruise Control to help ease your mind on the daily commute. It'll maintain a set speed and keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
When you find yourself in a crowded parking lot, both vehicles can help you monitor your surroundings with surround-view cameras. They each give you an overhead view of your vehicle, so you can maneuver into even the tightest spots. The X7 is the only one that can actually park itself, thanks to the available Parking Assistant Plus.
Does the BMW X7 Outperform the Audi Q7?
The BMW X7 is a commanding SUV. It comes standard with a 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine that cranks out 335 horsepower. That puts a lot more power at your disposal than the standard 248-horsepower, 2.0L 4-cylinder engine in the Audi Q7.
What does all that power mean for you? It means that you'll get an extra shot of adrenaline with the BMW X7. It can go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.8 seconds. It takes the Audi Q7 up to 6.9 seconds to hit the same speed.
One confidence-inspiring performance feature both luxury vehicles offer is Integral Active Steering. This feature lets all wheels turn for optimal handling. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn opposite the front wheels, to improve maneuverability and turning radius. At high speeds, the rear wheels turn with the front wheels. This improves agility and comfort.
BMW X7 vs Audi Q7: Who Came Out on Top?
The competition was tight, but the BMW X7 came out victorious. This SUV is more powerful, comfortable, and extra spacious on the inside. If that sounds like what your drives through Birmingham, Irondale, and Hoover, Alabama, need, it may be the right SUV for you.
