2020 BMW X5 vs. 2020 Audi Q7

In East Greenwich, few driving experiences compare to a nice and roomy luxury SUV. You’ll be the toast of the town in a quality German luxury SUV like the BMW X5 or the Audi Q7. If you asked us which is better in the battle of the 2020 BMW X5 vs. the 2020 Audi Q7, we’d have to hand it to the BMW X5 because of its better set of features and its more compelling engine suite. Take a closer look below.

2020 BMW X5 vs. 2020 Audi Q7: Performance

If you’re driving in a BMW X5 in Providence, you’ll get an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission that has Sport and Manual shift modes as well as a 6,603 pound standard towing capacity. That level of muscle is sure to get a boat, a trailer, or whatever else your weekend warriorhood needs to the lake or to the campsite. You’ve got a choice of three engine options that all provide an incredible amount of power:

• 3.0L I-6 engine: 335 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds, standard rear-wheel drive, or available BMW xDrive all-wheel drive
• 4.4L V8 engine: 456 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, standard BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive
• 4.4L M Performance V8 engine: 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and standard BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive

As for the 2020 Audi Q7, while you’re getting a slightly stronger six-cylinder engine for the 2020 model year versus the 2019, it still can’t measure up to the performance you get standard on the 2020 BMW X5. The 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission and standard quattro® all-wheel drive give you 4,400 pounds of standard towing capacity, which simply does not compare to the BMW X5.

2020 BMW X5 vs. 2020 Audi Q7: Seating

• Seating Capacity: 5 seats standard, 7 seats with optional third row
• Standard Features: 12-way power-adjustable heated front sport seats with lumbar support and complimentary BMW Genius service to assist with tech features

Meanwhile, the Q7 gives you standard seating for seven, but at the expense of cargo space when all the seats are up.

• Cargo Volume (Behind 1st / 2nd /3rd Row): 69.6 cubic feet / 35.7 cubic feet / 14.2 cubic feet
• Seating Capacity: 7 seats standard
