The first competitor to go up against the Audi Q7 is the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Right from the very start, choosing the Q7 instead of the GLS will save you an astounding $11,300. Shifting focus towards the interiors of both of these SUVs, there are numerous key differences between the two. When you're carrying the entire team across town for soccer practice, it's always great when rear passengers have the ability to customize their temperature preferences. The Audi Q7 Prestige comes standard with rear HVAC controls and climate controlled rear seats, two features that will cost you more at Mercedes-Benz.
Continuing to examine the interiors of both vehicles, the Audi Q7 offers greater legroom and headroom in the front seats. While Mercedes-Benz drivers will have to settle for synthetic leatherette upholstery, the Audi Q7 comes standard with genuine leather seating surfaces for enhanced comfort. Finally, a sizable 440-pound lower curb weight allows the Q7 to deliver more responsive handling at all speeds.
