2021 Audi Q7 vs. 2021 Lexus RX: Extend Your Range of Choices With the Q7

 

Here, we take a new approach to introducing the Q7 by comparing it to a competitor in the segment, the 2021 Lexus RX.

 

 

The Q7 offers two advanced powertrains that build a foundation for a memorable driving experience. Two trim levels offer the 45 TFSI engine, which includes a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that generates an impressive 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. All three Q7 trims offer the 55 TFSI powertrain that boosts output to 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

 

The Lexus RX offers two powertrains. An all-petrol option produces 295 horsepower in the 350 and 350 L, which falls between the Q7's standard powertrains. The 450H and 450H L include a hybrid system that peaks at 308 horsepower. Audi builds in more choice and peak horsepower with the Q7 lineup.

 

However, we've saved the best for last. The SQ7, a performance version of the Q7, features a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that produces 500 horsepower and 567 lb-ft of torque. If you are ready to make a jump to a unique level in this segment, the SQ7 will provide instant exhilaration.

 

 

Aside from a premium driving experience, the Q7 offers an interior that is luxurious and versatile. Owners enjoy over 1,925 litres of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded and 740 litres behind upright 2nd row seats. Compared to the RX, this makes the Q7 stand out. The "L" (or long) versions of the RX still don't provide this amount of capacity. These models have a peak capacity of 1,656 litres, with 652 litres behind upright 2nd row seats. The Q7 is designed to accommodate many lifestyles.

 

The Q7 and RX both offer a third row. However, the Q7's larger interior helps everyone fit better in some key dimensions.
