Grand Accommodations: Inside the BMW X7 & Audi Q7

What you’ve heard is true: The X7’s dimensions (203.3” length by 78.7” width by 71.1” height) make this luxury Sports Activity Vehicle® the largest ever from BMW. How do the 2021 X7 and Q7 measure up when you need to configure your cabin for more people, though?

As 3-row SUVs, the BMW and Audi make room for up to seven people to sit in luxury. When we say luxury, we mean it: Both vehicles are available with ventilated and massaging front seats, so you can stay cool and relaxed on the road. Even in the rear, there’s no such thing as a second-class seat!

Our tip of the hat goes to the BMW X7, though, which enhances every drive with seven all-electric seats. Relax, recline, and enjoy the ride in a way even the Audi Q7 cannot deliver.

Interior Drama: Your Own Personal Panoramic Lightshow

You’re not ready for it—no one is. The moment you slide into the BMW X7 or Audi Q7, you’ll settle into an atmosphere of elegance. Envelop yourself in the finest available leather. We love the 2-tone Ivory White and Night Blue leather available in the BMW—an expression of the brand’s signature colors!

Blue-and-White bimmer style aside, subtle touches in the X7 elevate it over the Q7. BMW Glass Controls are available in the X7 for more sophistication in the cockpit. These handmade, diamond-cut trim pieces adorn the transmission selector and feature an illuminated “X”. The Audi simply cannot compare.

The BMW X7 shows its colors—literally—with its optional Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof. The bold LED light patterns enhance every dimension of the moonroof. It’s style you simply won’t find in the Audi Q7.

A Luxury Performance for the Books: X7 & Q7 Compete

A luxury vehicle is only as good as its engine. Straight off the starting line, does the 2021 X7 or Q7 notch a performance win? While the two are competitive, we have to hand the accolades to the BMW.

Under-hood in the BMW X7 is a 3.0L TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder with 335 horsepower on tap. The Audi Q7 can certainly match that power, but you’ll have to upgrade beyond its standard turbo 4-cylinder (248 horsepower) if you want to scale such impressive heights.

With a bevy of added features, the BMW becomes a performance showcase. An available air suspension and M Sport Differential—plus an option for 22-inch rims—cement the X7’s dominance in this category.

Audi Q7 vs BMW X7: Which Is Better?

You’re in search of new expression on the roads of Mobile, Alabama. Do these luxury SUVs know how to deliver for you and your family? The answer is yes, but the 2021 BMW X7 outshines the Audi Q7 in every way worth noting.
