Audi Q7 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE: Performance Comparison

One of the biggest differences between the GLE and the Q7 is in their power under the hood. The Audi Q7 comes with two standard powertrains, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV comes with three standard engines and two AMG®-enhanced variants for even more power on the Pasadena roads! Given that the GLE is more affordable at the outset–$57,700 MSRP• compared to the Audi’s price tag of $59,200 MSRP–we think that’s a great deal. Here are the full specs:
