2020 Lexus GX vs. 2020 Audi Q7
When it comes to the 2020 Lexus GX, Lexus pulled no stops to make this one of the best mid-sized luxury SUVs in the market. With its well-insulated cabin and excellent off-roading capabilities, going off-road has never been this comfortable. The car has all the trims and luxuries that you would expect in a car at this level but then goes the extra mile.
The 2020 Audi Q7 is similarly a powerful yet luxurious car. The interior is a little bland as it follows the design scheme of the Audi range so there won’t be much to get excited about. The cabin is fairly comfortable and the engine delivers a satisfactory performance. Let us see how these two cars stack up against each other.
Design & Style
When it comes to design and styling, the 2020 Lexus GX is refreshingly bold and sporty. It features an imposing grille at the front that gives this car a presence in any parking lot. The interior is roomy and comfortable, meaning that there is plenty of space for that off-road trip. It is also well insulated thus any outside noise is taken care of. The instrument panel is intuitively placed and within easy reach of the driver.
As noted earlier, there is not much change in the 2020 Audi Q7 as it follows the standard design scheme of Audi. The car is however quite beautiful although unlikely to get your blood racing. The interior is roomy and the dashboard minimalistic. This makes it easy to use the instrument panel even while on the road.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to safety and technological features, the Lexus GX is miles ahead of the 2020 Audi Q7. The GX comes standard with features such as double-screen infotainment system that allows rear-passengers easier access to the infotainment system. There is also Bluetooth connectivity as well as a host of other features.
With the Audi Q7, you get an equally varied amount of tech and safety features. The touchscreen infotainment system is a bit sluggish and this can be a problem when you are driving. The Q7 also features the Virtual Cockpit display which is now being fitted in almost all Audi models.
Performance
With the 2020 Lexus GX, you get a powerful 4.6-liter V8 engine that offers plenty of power when you need it. This is one of the factors that make the 2020 Lexus GX such as good off-roader. The engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that is quick and silky-smooth. You get an awesome 300 hp from the GX and the car handles beautifully whether you are off the beaten track or on the highway.
The 2020 Audi Q7, on the other hand, comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers a fairly satisfactory performance. It is however not as powerful as that in the GX and the difference shows when you compare both cars. Unless you choose to go with the optional 21-inch wheels, the car feels rather unstable around corners and doesn’t handle as well as the Lexus GX due to its rather large body.
The Bottom Line
When compared with each other, there is no doubt that the 2020 Lexus GX takes the lead in almost every category. From its powerful engine as well as exterior and interior design, the Lexus GX is a much better car than the 2020 Audi Q7.
