When it's time to upgrade to a three-row luxury SUV, it can easily come down to the 2021 Audi Q7 vs. Acura MDX. Both offer a selection of premium features but differ in crucial areas like space and drivetrain. If you've been stuck between the MDX or Q7, see how they fare when put side-by-side by Fletcher Jones Audi.
Audi Q7 vs. Acura MDX: Specs & Drivetrain
Look at the performance features of the MDX or Q7, and you'll find two engines, including an available 3.0L V6 engine for both models. Though they share a similar engine, the figures that each engine produces isn't the same for both SUVs:
- 2021 Audi Q7 - Available 335-hp, 3.0L V6 that creates 369 lb-ft of torque
- 2020 Acura MDX - Available 290-hp, 3.0L V6 that creates 267 lb-ft of torque
While these optional engines show the Q7 can deliver the most power, you don't have to choose upgrades to experience the benefits of the Audi quattro® all-wheel-drive system. Standard on the Q7, this unique all-wheel-drive system can help make the challenging Bucktown winters more manageable. With the MDX, you'll only find an FWD system as standard.
