2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS vs. 2019 Audi Q7

The 2019 Audi Q7 has historically been a favored choice with the Rye region’s drivers, but it can’t quite measure up to the standard set by Mercedes-Benz. Pitting the Audi Q7 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLS, it’s clear that only one of these three-row SUVs has what it takes to satisfy. Compare the two models on performance and interior dimensions, and you’ll have no trouble seeing why.

GLS vs. Q7: Performance Specs

If you’re comparing luxury SUVs, you deserve a more engaging, more invigorating drive. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS performs in ways that the Audi Q7 just can’t match:

• Engine
  • The Mercedes-Benz GLS 450 4MATIC® comes equipped with a 362-hp 3.0L biturbo® V6. The otherwise-comparable Audi Q7 2.0T Premium only offers a 252-hp 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine.
• Transmission
  • The 2020 GLS includes a 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission as standard. This feature ensures better performance, compared to the 8-speed automatic in the Q7.
