BMW X7 vs Audi Q7

BMW X7 vs Audi Q7: Power & Capability

Whether the forecast calls for light rain, a torrential downpour, or a few inches of snow, the BMW X7 and Audi Q7 come prepared. Each one includes standard all-wheel drive, so you can maintain traction on slick roads and enjoy a safe and stable drive.

The BMW makes it easier to power through those tough conditions, though. Storms are no match for any of the three dynamic engines that the SUV offers. When the roads are more favorable, they'll make your drives lots of fun, too.

The Audi Q7 doesn't offer as many options, nor does it let you hit the road with as much power under the hood.

BMW X7 vs Audi Q7: Interior Amenities & Dimensions

With three rows of seats and luxury throughout, the BMW X7 and Audi Q7 prove that family-friendly rides can offer a high-end feel, too. Both SUVs offer leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and comfortable amenities like heated, ventilated, and massaging seats.

While you'll find those features available inside both vehicles, the BMW gives both you and your passengers more room inside. For example, its open design gives it enough space for taller drivers with 41.9 inches of headroom. Your passengers will be able to get comfortable, too. With 33.3 inches of legroom in the third row, everyone can stretch out.

Meanwhile, the Audi Q7 is a bit cramped. Its low ceiling gives the driver only 39.9 inches of headroom. It's also a tight squeeze for passengers in the very back seat with only 29.2 inches of legroom.

You'll also have more storage space in the BMW X7. With the second- and third-row seats folded, you get up to 90.4 cubic feet of cargo room. The Audi can't carry quite as much with just 69.6 cubic feet of cargo room.

BMW X7 vs Audi Q7: Safety Features

Any SUV that's designed for families has to be able to keep your family safe. The 2021 BMW X7 comes with the sort of smart safety features that'll give you peace of mind. From keeping you alert to giving you more awareness, it helps prevent accidents with the following features:

• Frontal Collision Warning
• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Lane Departure Warning
• Fatigue & Focus Alert

The Audi Q7 offers several similar safety features. However, it doesn't offer anything that can remind you to keep your eyes on the road like the Fatigue & Focus Alert.
