TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2019 Audi Q7 delivers on the factors most important to large luxury SUV buyers: space, comfort, style, safety, and impressive technology. The 2019 BMW X7 finally gives the German automaker a proper three-row crossover SUV, one with a dazzling interior and suitably swell seating. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class wears its old-school heart on its sleeve, proudly.
