I’m a former Audi enthusiast myself and will be trying to convince my wife to give up her XC90 for an SQ7. I may have given it a go myself if it were available when I ordered my X7. If I knew about delays in procuring replacement parts along with BMW’s lack of response in remedying the situation I would have been in an SQ7. I find the SQ8 rear about as attractive as the X6. Both of which resemble the Pontiac Aztek.

Urus resembles an Atek very well:

The sq's are good m50i competition and fairly evenly matched, stock to stock. Where the wheels fall off the comparison is when Audi dealerships, here, charge 30, 40k markups on rsq models. gtfo of here with that nonsense.

Q7 would be closest competitor to X7 but it's still lacking space and luxury in comparison. Q8 is more of an X5 competitor. We cross shopped the Q7 and my wife came from a 36 mo Range Rover lease, so we knew how those were, and the X7 is in a league all its own.

In my opinion it is X7 vs. GLS vs. Range Rover. Some believe LX570, QX80, Escalade, Navigator are competing in the same segment against GLS/X7 but I do not. I think those vehicles compete against each other.
X5/X6 vs. Q7/Q8 vs. GLE coupe or whatever it is called now. Some people believe the XC90 falls into this segment too but I disagree completely and feel it is better suited against the MDX and RX. In a league of their own: Cullinan vs. Bentayga vs. RRSC/AB. Nothing comes close to these vehicles in any way, shape or form. Simply over the top and pure opulence. This isn't gospel but my own personal opinion. If I had the means Cullinan would be in my garage. By far the most attractive and well appointed SUV on the road.

The Cullinan and Bentayga are both midsize ultra lux SUV’s and I could see them venturing into the full size marketing (X7/GLS) size since their current SUV vehicles outsold their sedan counter parts. My dealer mentioned in the last 2 years since the X7 was introduced, it gutted 7 series sedan sales to the point they don’t even want to order any for the showroom for 2021. Previous 7 series customers are trading them in for the X7 and now they have a surplus of low mileage CPO 7 series sedans. It is worth noting: Last edited by MystroX5; 09-17-2020 at 09:18 AM.. |

Yea, I meant a 5 seater. It’s huge for what it is. RR just did the “Black Edition”, I bet RR does a Cullinan XL stretched model soon.

I haven't seen one in real life yet (plenty of Bentaygas though, uglier in person if that is possible) and pictures don't really translate the size well. I agree that the only real competitors to the X7 are the GLS and Range Rover. The other 7 seaters (Escalade and Navigator) are another size class larger.

X7 isn't considered midsized either... The RRSC/AB LWB is 207" (iirc). Falls into the same proportions as Cullinan. SWB is 199-200" (iirc).

I bought a new SUV back in July. I did look at Audi and I'll say the reason I didn't really consider them was - selection. Audi has such low inventory compared to BMW or most other brands. Heck even Porsche had more Cayennes in more colors etc.
I have noithing against Audi cars per se just that maybe the area I live in has poor dealerships compared to other comperable brands. |
