When you’re out driving, the last thing you’ll want to do is have to stop to refuel. The 2023 Audi Q7 has a fuel consumption of 12.2 city/9.5 highway L/100 km, while the MDX achieves 12.6 city/9.4 highway L/100 km, which is sure to help you stay on the road longer.*
TECHNOLOGY
Such impressive fuel economy is bound to have you spending more time behind the wheel, so it’s important you stay engaged, connected, and comfortable in your ride. The 2023 Audi Q7 achieves that with advanced systems for infotainment and safety.
Intelligent Infotainment
The Audi Q7 has an upper display for entertainment and a lower MMI® touch response screen to manage climate controls. Handwriting recognition is also available, so you can write destinations into the navigation system with ease.
The Acura MDX does have an expansive entertainment system to offer you, but dual screens are not available. Instead, you’ll need to toggle back and forth between screens to manage your controls. Additionally, while this display does have a touchpad interface, handwriting technology isn’t available.
Standard Safety Systems
The safety systems in the Audi Q7 and the Acura MDX are closely matched. Both models feature brand-specific forward collision warning systems that can step in and apply brake pressure in an emergency. This could help mitigate the impact or possibly avoid it altogether at low speeds.
Lane departure warning and blind spot warning systems also come standard on both SUVs to keep your vehicle within your lane and help you merge confidently.
INTERIOR
Three rows of seats in both the Audi Q7 and the Acura MDX mean you’ll be able to bring along all your friends and family for fun. The question is: Which SUV will keep you more comfortable on those long rides?
Comfort Included
The Q7 has a comfort advantage thanks to its standard leather-trimmed seats. The Acura MDX, on the other hand, comes standard with synthetic leather. The Q7 is also available with a 4-zone climate control system, while the MDX only comes with tri-zone front and rear synchronized automatic climate control.
Tunes for Every Trip
On long road trips, you can stream your favourite tunes with wireless Apple CarPlay® in both models.
Both the Audi and the Acura have premium sound systems: the Bang & Olufsen Advanced sound system in the Audi Q7 and the ELS Studio® Signature Edition Audio System in the Acura MDX. Both have over 20 speakers. However, only the Audi’s sound system comes with 3D sound, which provides a completely immersive listening experience.
