The automotive world is changing, and one of the biggest developments has been the introduction of performance-oriented SUVs that deliver precise handling without sacrificing the interior space you want for your daily travels around Lexington and Champin, SC. At Audi Columbia, we’ve stacked our new Audi Q8 up against the closest Mercedes-Benz and BMW models to see how it compares so you know what to expect when you visit our Columbia dealership for a test drive!

Audi Q8 vs BMW X7

In the performance department, both the BMW X7 and Audi Q8 look similar, with 335 horsepower coming from a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine in both models. However, the Audi Q8 takes the lead with an additional 39 pound-feet of torque over its BMW rival, and a lighter frame means you’ll make better use of that power as well. Legendary Audi Quattro goes toe-to-toe with BMW xDrive and comes out ahead thanks to Quattro’s undeniable ability to handle changes in road surface with a seamless ease. You’ll even get more grunt out of the Audi Q8 with up to 7,700 pounds of towing capacity compared to just 5,950 in the BMW X7.

Audi Q8 vs Mercedes-Benz GLE

Looking toward its other German rival, comparing the Audi Q8 with the Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 leads to yet another victory for the Audi model. Not only does the Audi Q8 feature a more aggressive exterior that looks more modern than the Mercedes-Benz model, but it outperforms the GLE 400 as well. At 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, you’ll easily pull ahead of the Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 with its 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque.
