The all-new 2022 BMW X7 has many rivals and the 2022 Audi Q7 is definitely one of them. The new Q7 from the German automaker is more aesthetically-pleasing than its predecessor and features a more comfortable interior. Despite that, many people still think there’s no way they would give up on their decision of buying the new BMW X7. If you’re weighing your options too, keep reading to find out how these mighty SUVs stack up.
Design & Style
When it comes to design, the new BMW comes with thinner and upgraded headlights that offer better vision while driving at night. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable and cozy cockpit decorated with premium materials and featuring interior ambient lighting. This car can easily transport six passengers in luxury and comfort.
The Audi is also well-positioned when it comes to design. Its sporty lines and attractive front grill make it stand out in traffic. The interior is minimalist, you have an intuitive instrument cluster right in front of you and there are premium materials such as textured leather and wood everywhere. Still, the cargo space could have been larger.
Technology & Safety
The BMW again scores great marks when it comes to technology as it incorporates a 12.3-inch infotainment panel. This is coupled with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. You also get a superb sound system that accurately reproduces lows and highs. This SUV also comes with many safety systems such as emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
The Q7 is also safe and reliable on the road as it has numerous driving aids and safety systems as standard. However, the infotainment panel inside the cockpit is smaller in comparison with the one in the BMW. You get a decent sound system, but for a premium one you have to pay more.
Performance
Both cars are tied up when it comes to horsepower at 335 for the standard versions. The BMW incorporates an upgraded transmission system that ensures smooth gear changes at any speed. You also benefit from all-wheel drive which makes your car more stable and agile on the road.
The Audi incorporates a hybrid powertrain and it relies on both electricity and fuel to get you to your destination. Although the standard version is powerful enough to ensure a quick overtake, you might have to pay more for performance tires and other goodies.
The Bottom Line
You need to consider all these aspects and more when deciding which SUV you’d park in your garage. The Q7 will do everything you want no matter where you drive it. The BMW will do the same, but make your entire experience more exciting, so you be the judge.
