Audi Q7 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLS: Engine and Performance

Neither of these German SUVs will disappoint on the roads near Weston or Trumble, but but the GLS is the cleaner winner on performance: Audi Q7

• The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine gets you 248 horsepower
• If you want more power, you can upgrade with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that gets you a 335 horsepower
• Although the Audi Q7 can tow up to 7,700 pounds with the right equipment, you’ll need to pay extra for a trim upgrade.
• This model only comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Mercedes-Benz GLS

•  A 3.0L biturbo V6 engine is standard on the GLS 450 4MATIC®. With it, you’ll enjoy 362-hp. Even if you opt to upgrade the Q7 with its optional V6, you won’t have that much power.
• All you need to do to reach the 7,700-pounds towing maximum is equip the optional trailer hitch!
• With the GLS, you’ll receive the well-loved 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission.
