The 2023 Audi Q7 is the kind of luxury Audi SUV that has room for the whole family. There are three rows of seats with space for up to seven people. It's designed with comfort in mind. Whether you're sitting behind the wheel or in the back, you can relax with plenty of room to spread out. Check out how the Audi Q7 and BMW X5 stack up against each other.

When it comes to cargo space, the Audi Q7 also outshines. While you'll find plenty of space for your gear with all the seats upright, the power-folding third row makes it easy to access more room. By just pushing a button, you'll have up to 35.7 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row.
The BMW X5 offers a third row of seats, but it isn't standard. This SUV is only designed for five people and has less space for them to stretch out. It also offers less cargo room, with 33.9 cubic feet of space behind the second-row seats.

When you’re in the market for a new SUV, one of the categories you might find important is performance. What powertrain options do these two SUVs have? Which one can tow your heavy loads? We’re here to tackle these important questions.
Both the 2023 Audi Q7 and the BMW X5 pack a lot of power under the hood. Each one offers an exciting mix of speed and capability. The Audi Q7 and the BMW X5 are each available with a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine that puts out 335 horsepower.
They both stand tall with high ground clearance and can tow lots of heavy cargo, too— up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped!
The Audi Q7 sets itself apart with standard quattro® all-wheel drive. This iconic system enhances your ride whether you're driving through inclement weather conditions or taking tight turns. It monitors your drive and uses active torque distribution to send extra power to the rear axle when it’s needed most.
An all-wheel drive system is also offered in the X5, but only as an upgrade.

Whether you’re traveling on familiar roads or exploring new locations out of town, it’s important to pay attention to the road and stay safe. Of course, you can get a little help from the safety systems inside your next SUV.
Safety is easily one of the most important qualities in an SUV. That's why you'll be confident knowing that both the Audi Q7 and the BMW X5 come with an array of cameras and sensors that constantly monitor your surroundings, such as the Audi Q7's Virtual 360° view.
These are some of the common safety features these two SUVS employ:
- Lane departure warning
- Tire pressure monitoring system
- Cruise control
Despite these commonalities, the Q7 goes above and beyond with the available night vision assistant. With the night vision assistant package, you'll be able to see farther in low-light situations. It uses an infrared camera and thermal imaging technology, and it can even detect people and larger animals.
A comparable feature isn’t offered at all on the BMW X5.
