2021 Audi Q7 vs. 2021 Maserati Levante
SUVs are all the rage these days, and the 2021 Audi Q7 is one of the best. Its classy interior, enhanced touch displays and rapid acceleration separate it from the pack. But how does it compare to the 2021 Maserati Levante, a near six figure sport utility vehicle with seductive styling, an impressive exhaust note and state of the art tech?
Design & Style
The Maserati Levante looks fabulous with its trident insignia in front, detailed bodywork and intoxicating silk/leather upholstery. Passengers within the cabin will be treated to eight inch touch displays with updated software, a virtual assistant that can be activated by voice, and a wireless style charging pad. Even the door panels and dashboard is stitched, and the vehicle sits on nineteen inch wheels.
The Audi Q7 also comes with nineteen inch wheels and all-wheel drive. It is a classy and conservative SUV with the ability to seat seven and when its seats are folded back seventy cubic feet will be available for cargo. It uses quad tailpipes with a three row cabin, trapezoidal grille and a prominent lower bumper.
Technology & Safety
Safety is paramount in automobiles and no one understands this more than Audi. The Q7 is packed with all the latest countermeasures including blind area monitoring, automated high beams, lane control that is active, emergency automatic brakes and a system which monitors the attention of the driver and will even stop the vehicle should they become unresponsive. Luxuries within its cabin include a camera with surround view, climate control, Bluetooth support, smartphone compatibility and USB ports.
The Maserati Levante has many safety features of its own, including blind area monitoring, emergency automated brakes, and high beam lights that are automated, but doesn’t offer the full range of features found in the Audi. Luxuries within its cabin include a Harmon Kardon sound system with fourteen speakers, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, climate control and satellite radio.
Performance
The Maserati Levante is one of the world’s most powerful SUVs. Those that go all out and buy the V8 edition will get a 590 horsepower engine that can accelerate from zero to sixty around 3.8 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi SQ7 will get a V8, 4 liter engine that can generate 500 horsepower which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.3 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Though both SUVs are nearly tied when it comes to acceleration times, the Audi Q7 seats seven passengers while the Maserati only seats five, and the Audi has more extensive safety features. This combined with the Levante’s lackluster interior switches and inadequate cargo space makes the Q7 the winner.
