Performance: More Remarkable Journeys Await

BMW and Audi-two German-engineered luxury brands with a flair for performance. The 2021 X5 and Q7 have the high-powered engines that will make you take notice, but which has more power on tap?

The Audi Q7 serves up an outstanding 335 horsepower with the available 55 TFSI® engine equipped. If you choose the BMW X5, though, that same amount of horsepower is just the starting point. Choose a high-powered TwinPower Turbo engine that can outperform even the Audi with ease:

  • 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder-335 horsepower
  • 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder w/ electric motor-389 horsepower
  • 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M50i)-523 horsepower
  • 44L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 (X5 M)-600 horsepower

Plug-In Hybrid Power: The BMW X5 or Audi Q7?

SUVs become more efficient year after year. Expect impressive fuel-economy figures from the BMW X5, now offered as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

Dubbed the BMW X5 xDrive45e, it can drive on up to 30 miles of all-electric range-the longest available on any PHEV from BMW. Should you go for an emissions-free drive, you can expect an EPA-estimated 50 combined city/highway MPGe. The Audi Q7, which lacks a PHEV option, peaks at just 21 combined MPG.

On shorter trips and commutes, the BMW Sports Activity Vehicle® is a game-changer for more efficient driving. The X5 Plug-In Hybrid even features a hybrid-specific Digital Instrument Cluster!

X5 & Q7: Extravagance Awaits in Your X Model

As luxury vehicles, the 2021 X5 and Q7 ooze elegance at the seams. Leather-appointed seating is available and very plush, while wood finishes add understated style to the dashboard and door panels.

In the BMW X5, you can feel the weight of optional Glass Controls in your hands. These handmade glass crystal elements can be added to the gear shifter, start/stop button, and iDrive Controller. It's the sheer sophistication that drives the appeal of this visual treat.

The Audi Q7 doesn't offer glass finishes like its BMW counterpart. It also lacks the dramatic effect of the available Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof in the X5, which transforms every nighttime drive into a light show!

Which Is Better: Audi Q7 or BMW X5?

Out on the streets of Brentwood, Franklin, and Nashville, TN, which new luxury SUV will serve you best? The 2021 BMW X5 and Audi Q7 certainly have many points in their favor, but it's the X5 that stands out.

Choose the X5 SAV® for a power-packed performance, plug-in hybrid options, and a chic and sleek cabin. If you value all these, stop by BMW of Nashville for a test drive and take command from the cockpit!
