Vs AutoBild: Audi Q7 3.0 TDI vs. Mercedes GL 320 CDI.


well the GL just lost in the price deparment..but other than that its the clear winner.. it should cost more..its more car...

seriously looking at these pics..i realize that the GL is so much more good looking than the Q7 despite its size.. MB knows how to design a huge car to look sleek..
i really hate the ordinary Q7 (not v12 though:D)..

You mean because GL has more interior space nad bigger trunk it should had won? In quality and handling Q7 is better.
As for the looks that's purely subjective and while GL is nice , Q7 is even better.:D
 
well if your going for such a large ass suv.. those things are very important..
and quality audi might be slightly better..but its not like the GL needs to be ashamed of its quality..
and then you have handling.. wich SUCKS on all suv´s.. ive driven the cayenne turbo wich should be one of the best handling suv´s.. it really really sucks at high speeds.. so its not important in this kind of car..
 
The GL lost out in the price 12 points is quite a lot, would have made the difference.

I agree but they give 23 points to GL for brakes and 16 to Q7 while the difference in braking distance is only 1 m!
 
Well, it's a little more than that Yannis.
Q7: 39.2/38.7 m
GL: 36.9/37.3 m
But I agree, maybe they should have taken off a little less points.
 
The car lounge forums have a poll between the two:

The result is 27 votes for Q7 and 2 (!!!) for GL. One member even said that Escalade is better than both.:t-crazy2:

Maybe the brakes start fading or don't response good, etc...

What do you expect from VW Vortex. It's an Audi-VW forum. :D

Over at MB World for example, it'll be 27-2 for the GL. :D
 
I have some reservations regarding the brakes. When A6 was a new model it was measured to have worse brakes than 5 series and E class but later on it was measured from other car magazines to have better or at least on par with the competition. Perhaps the tested Q7 was pre production or something.

At least in all the tests that I've seen 5er has had better brakes than A6.
