Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 than in the Audi Q7, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi Q7, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi Q7 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Audi Q7 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350.

Dimensions
The Audi Q7 is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Audi Q7, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350.

Powertrain
The Audi Q7 has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350. The Audi Q7 has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
