Q8 vs X7: Advanced In-Car Technology
The 2019 Q8 and X7 are both all-new models. They show their fresh take on technology with two quality infotainment systems. The MMI® system in the Audi and its BMW equivalent feature large touchscreens within easy reach (and view) of the driver.
With either system, you can link your iPhone via Apple CarPlay® and see your music, maps, and messages on the go. It's a nice convenience, available for life in the Audi and by yearly subscription in the BMW. On the other hand, only the Audi SUV offers Android Auto™, letting Android users enjoy the same perks.
The MMI® touch response system also uses a dual-screen setup. View your navigation maps on the upper screen and show audio information on the lower! In the BMW X7, you'll get just a single screen.
All-Star SUV Performance
As luxury vehicles, the Audi Q8 and BMW X7 have a lot going for them in terms of performance. You can enjoy potent powertrains standard. In fact, the base Q8 and X7 are both powered by 6-cylinder engines that crank out 335 horsepower. Acceleration is easy to come by with that kind of power!
Safety is always valued in an SUV. These two vehicles deliver surer footing with standard all-wheel drive. The quattro® all-wheel drive system in the Audi Q8 uses sensors to ensure that power can get where it's needed the most. In the BMW X7, you'll find the same commitment to performance.
These powerful SUVs are both capable towing machines. The Q8 does have an edge here, with a 7,700-pound towing capacity. You can easily tow the family boat or a camper trailer to your next weekend fun destination! The X7 clocks in at a 4,850-pound capacity. Â
Luxurious Interior Features
Comfort and style go hand-in-hand in the 2019 Q8 and X7. These SUVs boast the most sumptuous cabins, and you'll have a hard time leaving the lap of luxury behind! Get the treatment of a lifetime with available heated, cooled, and massaging front seats. Â
Attractive chrome accents, real wood inlays, and stylish flourishes make these BMW and Audi SUVs easy to appreciate. The cabins are spacious-and they feel even more so with the panoramic sunroofs!
Premium Valcona leather (in the Audi) and Merino leather (in the BMW) are available to really refine your cabin's looks. Unfortunately, only the Audi Q8 comes standard with leather seats. You'll need to upgrade beyond imitation leather in the BMW for the same level of quality.
