Luxury SUVs are known for their rich cabins and strong performance, which is why it can be difficult at first to choose between models like the 2021 Audi Q7 vs. 2020 Acura MDX. Upon closer inspection though, the choice between the MDX or Q7 gets easier as these vehicles are separated in space, drivetrains, and sophistication. Find out what sets these three-row SUVs apart with Audi Fletcher Jones near Irvine.
Audi Q7 vs. Acura MDX: Drivetrain & Top Engines
A 3.0L V6 engine serves as the top engine for both the Q7 or MDX. However, these available engines create different levels of power, showing that the Q7 can pack the biggest punch with an engine upgrade:
- 2021 Audi Q7 Available 3.0L V6 Engine- Cranks out 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque
- 2020 Acura MDX Available 3.0L V6 Engine- Produces 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque
Even with the standard performance features, the Q7 SUV offers standard Audi quattro® all-wheel drive while the 2020 MDX only includes FWD as standard. If you want more power or control around Newport Beach, the 2021 Q7 can deliver.
Audi Q7 vs. Acura MDX: Seating & Cargo Space
If you want third-row seating, either the MDX or Q7 will fit the bill. But if want added breathing room for you and your passengers, as well as more storage space, then the Q7 hits the mark:

Audi Q7 vs. Acura MDX: Refinement
Whether you climb into the cabin of the MDX or Q7, there are certain standard features you'll enjoy on both, such as tri-zone climate control, power seats with lumbar support, and Bluetooth® capabilities. That said, the Q7 includes some higher-end touches that are missing on the MDX- like all-leather seating and natural wood grain trim. With the MDX you can get leather-trimmed seats as standard, and you'll have to upgrade for wood trim.
