Audi Q7 vs. GMC Yukon Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Q7 is significantly cheaper to get to the dealership than the GMC Yukon. The GMC Yukon pales in comparison to the Audi with respect to gas mileage. As far as fuel economy, the Q7 has the GMC Yukon beat. Regarding MSRP, the Audi Q7 costs roughly as much as the GMC Yukon (though the GMC Yukon is somewhat cheaper).

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the GMC Yukon over the Audi Q7. The GMC Yukon is a better choice than the Audi when it comes to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or large pets. Towing is significantly more the Audi Q7's forte than it is the GMC's.

Convenience
You will definitely have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Yukon than with the Q7.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the GMC's front cabin compared to the Audi Q7. The GMC offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Audi Q7 does.

Dimensions
The GMC Yukon's tank is almost the same size as the Q7's, though the Q7's is a little larger. The Audi Q7 and the GMC Yukon compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
With respect to horsepower, the Yukon packs quite a wallop and will knock the Q7 down a few rungs. However, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the GMC Yukon and the Audi Q7 definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Yukon's engine is significantly more massive than the Audi Q7's. Bear in mind that larger engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The GMC Yukon packs quite a punch compared to the Audi Q7 in terms of torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly. Torque equals pickup, and the GMC Yukon will have picked up and gone by the time the Audi Q7 finally gets moving.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Yukon isn't quite as generous as the Audi Q7's.
