2023 Audi Q7 vs. BMW X5: Performance Comparison

Performance power is often one of the first things that drivers look at when shopping for a new ride, and the BMW X5 doesn’t disappoint! There are three unique powertrains to choose from: a standard turbocharged I-5 for the sDrive40i and xDrive40i, a plug-in hybrid option for the xDrive45e, and a powerhouse turbocharged V8 on the top-level M50i. By comparison, the Audi Q7 only offers two powertrains, with its top-level engine delivering the same horsepower as the BMW’s entry-level option. Here are the performance specs for both models:
