2020 Audi Q7 vs. Its Competition

2020 Audi Q7
Andrew Ganz Andrew Ganz Senior Editor

Among its rivals, the Q7 is the freshest design—but not by much.

A new Mercedes-Benz GLS arrived for 2020 with big heaps of luxury and electrified power.

The BMW X7’s look is polarizing, but its interior is spacious and its powertrains are immensely satisfying.

The Volvo XC90 got a light refresh for 2020, but it’s showing its age.

Cadillac is set to unveil a new Escalade for 2021, so the old model likely will be heavily discounted.

The Infiniti QX80 is a relic, but it’s priced reasonably and makes a good towing rig.
