2022 Audi Q7 vs. 2022 Mercedes Benz GLA Class
The 2022 Mercedes Benz GLA Class is a stylish SUV with a roomy interior, multitude of options, and excellent standard safety features. But can it defeat the 2022 Audi Q7, a luxurious SUV that many regard as one of the best in the world due to its refined interior, enhanced touchscreens and SQ7 performance?
Design & Style
Simply put, the Audi Q7 is absolutely gorgeous, with a style that will stand the test of time. Both its taillights and headlights have been updated and it has nineteen inch wheels that come in many bold varieties. A quad style tailpipe can be seen in back and within the cabin passengers will be treated to authentic wooden trim, leather seats and high gloss surfaces that are covered in piano black with dual touchscreens. The newest edition of the Mercedes Benz GLA is wider, taller and lovelier than previous generations. Its proportions are akin to a hatchback, with a long wheel base. Inside, passengers will be presented with turbine vents with an outstanding mixture of aluminum and soft touch materials. Buyers also get the option of carbon fiber or dark colored leather.
Technology & Safety
The Mercedes Benz is equipped with a number of safety features, such as emergency automated brakes and driver assistance, lane and cruise control, blind area monitoring, and alerts for cross traffic in the rear. Buyers also have the option of parking sensors and a camera with surround view. Luxuries within the cabin include keyless ignition, powered seats that can be adjusted eight ways, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and seven inch touchscreens. The Audi Q7 is equipped with many of the safety features found in the Mercedes Benz GLA, including automated high beams, the ability to automatically recognize road signs, and a special feature where the attention of the driver will be continually monitored and if the driver dozes off the vehicle will automatically slow down and stop. Luxuries within its cabin include USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, panoramic sunroof, 3 zone climate control, and heated seats.
Performance
The Audi Q7 is powered by a V6 engine that is turbocharged and capable of generating 335 horsepower with 369 pounds of torque. The Mercedes Benz GLA is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 221 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The Mercedes Benz GLA does lots of things well, but the Audi does them better. It has superior performance, more extensive luxury features, and its ability to automatically monitor the driver and slow down and stop the vehicle if needed is just brilliant, making the Audi Q7 the winner.
