While the 2023 Audi Q7 is the Audi brand’s heaviest hitter, offering the most space and convenience of all vehicles in the brand’s lineup, it still can’t compete with the 2023 BMW X5. When it comes to performance and overall space, you’d be wise to choose the BMW over the Audi. Only the BMW X5 offers a hybrid option as well as a track-ready M version (which sports an upgraded powertrain, wheel and M design elements). Speaking of powertrains, let’s compare the two standard engines in this matchup. The BMW X5 has the larger, more powerful standard engine of the two vehicles, but surprisingly, it still gets better standard EPA-estimated mpg than the Audi Q7 does with its smaller, less powerful standard engine. And in terms of interior space, both models offer third-row seating, so you can bring your whole crew along in either of these capable vehicles. However, with the second- and third-row seats folded, the BMW X5 offers almost three extra cubic feet of cargo space as compared to the Audi Q7. That will make a big difference when you’re trying to move to a new house, make a giant grocery run or take a camping trip with lots of gear.
