What makes this comparison even more embarrassing for the Audi Q7 is that it’s the most substantial SUV in the Audi lineup, offering the most space and convenience for its passengers of all the Audi vehicles. The victory, then, is even sweeter for the BMW X5. Scoring high marks in performance and overall space, the BMW X5 lands itself a well-deserved spot in your driveway. It’s the only one of the two vehicles that offers a hybrid alternative, as well as a sportier, adrenaline-pumping M version with an upgraded powertrain, wheels and other accessories. The standard engines of the two SUVs are interesting. While you’d expect the larger, more powerful standard engine on the BMW X5 to have worse fuel economy than the smaller, weaker standard engine on the Audi Q7, it’s actually the opposite. The BMW X5 has better a standard EPA-estimated combined mpg than the Audi Q7, producing 23 miles per gallon.* Both models offer a third-row seat for more friends to climb in the back, but when the second- and third-row seats are folded down, you’ll get almost three additional cubic feet of cargo space for your groceries, gear and home improvement supplies with the BMW X5.
