Audi Q7 VS Mercedes-Benz GLS | Comparison Test | Autocar India

[@ranmatk]

I honestly feel the previous gen Q7 had much better Road presence that the current one. SUVs are bought mainly for their Road presence. And I prefer the older boxy designs to the sleeker versions of SUVs. Who all feel the same?

[@psy8124]

Both are great SUVs without a doubt. Mind says for Q7 but heart GLS 😍

[@AbhinavMishra2207]

Wallet says Vitara Brezza!

[@psy8124]

+Abhinav Mishra better to go for Creta 😜

[@selvamuthukumaranrameshbab4882]

you are absolutely right

[@vipanpatial2243]

I will buy pulsar ...

[@aly3803]

wallet says Renault kwid.

[@ArijeetSarkar7]

On Indian roads, there are so many Q7 and the new version does not look any different. Rather go for GLS :)

[@shubhammishra2877]

Bought a q7 and recently and that’s one of my best investments ever totally worth 96lacs

[@ShriramRane0490]

who was in charge at AUDI when they decided to put the spare wheel in the boot.

[@jacobspeeds]

would you rather have no wheel? stop complaining... even Mercedes does the same.. they have no other choice

[@jaimin891]

Agreed. It is a poor choice of design. If it's a full size spare tire then they should have mounted it under the rear end of the car. The whole idea of having a 7 seater is to utilize the space to its maximum output. Putting a spare tire reduces that & it just looks so off. Everything else in the Audi is so damn perfect.

[@jacobspeeds]

+jaimin891 you really think they would put it in the boot if they had a choice to put it under?? it's because there's no storage space under... it's not only Audi.. even Mercedes does the same with many of their cars...

[@theaccentman93]

jacobspeeds Mercedes has it under the car

[@theculturemafia9902]

Really

[@aswinjyothis9056]

My dad recently took this Mercedes GLS after seeing this video....i love u merc...

[@hivaladeen4892]

Aswin Jyothis good for you my little popadom

[@njabeerpashars7200]

Thank you once again!! The Lord of the rings Audi Q7!!👌👌😍😍.. team Audi...

[@suryaa81]

i would either choose the merc

[@KOA10452]

The GLS is the classier choice!

[@wrongtarget5523]

The Turbo has problems after 80K miles

[@vedantwankhede3558]

I want GlS with q7 interiors .😍

[@desertking02]

GLS great , powerful, I have it

[@allinformation2221]

merc been always king in auto industries.....

[@AnuragPathak]

The GLS is a full size SUV and the Q7 is a mid size SUV. They aren't on the same class basically this review isn't comparing  to 

[@shadyforever2687]

Right. Its should be compared with GLE.

[@kodykmt]

GLS and Q7 are 7 seaters while GLE is only 5. I think it is the main factor why they compare these two models

[@harshdeepsingh7498]

Stupid. These both cars r of same category Their rivalry is since ages

[@RoshanDixit]

MMI on the Q7 is awesome! But my vote goes for the GL

[@philsvmark]

Why not use the gls 63amg or the 400 4matic instead of the 350d??

[@nzokolomuteti1]

No matter how much you pamper the Q7 it can't beat GLS

[@extremeengineeringbuilding1448]

Just go to.

[@derdiktator8061]

gls looks better and it has a stronger engine

[@adithyashenoy83]

I will support Mercedes-Benz gls

[@harshsingh1271]

a GLS is A GLS

[@karanveersinghrathore7229]

back when car designs actually portrayed characters of their name

[@sateeshkumaar2009]

I cant afford either of these but one day I am gonna get a Q7 for myself

[@dhruvagarwal9532]

I like GLS more

[@sachinsimon178]

7:06 Feels like King Of the Road👑👑👑 In terms of Practicality also... He is the King..

[@AkashSansanwal]

GLS makes more sense when your spending almost the same amount of money ! and can we have the XC 90 also being compared to the q7

[@selvamuthukumaranrameshbab4882]

Mr. akash Volvo XC90 won't come in this comparison as it is just under 2000cc whereas GLS and Q7 are3000cc category more over bhp also come around 250 for these mammoths

[@aryamihirsingh6110]

Mr. Ramesh Xc90 is almost equal in price and size as compared to gls and q7. There is very less difference in power among these three. If XC90 has a smaller engine that doesn't means it cannot be compared with these two.

[@AkashSansanwal]

+Arya Mihir Singh yes true the engine size does not matter on roads like india ! and xc90 is a better choice than the q7 !

[@selvamuthukumaranrameshbab4882]

mr.Arya you are right on one point of view.being diesel vehicle above 2000cc is taxed hugely, obviously the best choice would be XC90 rated under 2000cc with almost performance and features. but, really u need to realise at one point of view that mercedes benz GLS350d, Audi Q7, BMW x5 are weighing nearly 2500to2600kgs unladen weight. these giants and mammoths vehicle are really powered up with high efficiency which can never be compared with XC90 as it is a crunching baby elephant with weight of 2000kgs of weight. so., you can guess and came to a conclusion that those mighty wagons pulling a heavy weight will never be opted for comparison chart with these vehicles. and XC90 is always a tiny & smart 7seater

[@AkashSansanwal]

Xc90 is not at all tiny ! Yea the third row is not as spacious as gls but bigger than the q7 ! I have the gl 350d I love my car ! But my second choice after gl would be xc90 !

[@anthonylu_]

Seriously Audi? That's a Q7 and you put the spare tire like that..Come on... I know that having run-flat tires or space saving spare tire is not always a good Idea since your tires may heavily damaged on off-road situation, but a better idea maybe?

[@purushr9120]

True, just does not make sense. How can they make spare tire an option. Whatever technology they have put, it is just strange to compromise on spare tire

[@imxd1698]

Anthony Lu not like that in other countries idk why it's like that

[@abdullahchaudhary3008]

Here in Europe we dont have that only asian market i think

[@TheYadoyo]

With Q7 Spear wheel position like that is a deal breaker...

[@desiredfilm1071]

The Mercedes is nice too but that interior looks so dated, went and test drove one and you can see pixels on the screen. UI on screen looks cheaply made. Audi drove better, had the virtual cockpit, center screen went up and down, had far better sound quality, more backseat legroom. Driving the Audi was so cool, upon starting the car, the Bang and Olufsen speakers and center screen rose up, and the interior lighting changed in the cockpit. I expected more out of Mercedes, all it had that was better was a beefier engine.. I'm a car guy so I can appreciate it, but they slacked everywhere else.

[@JocoRoco]

For God's sake, take that spare wheel out of luggage area

[@rajmoney1575]

no

[@eklavyasingh7261]

GLS is much more imposing SUV

[@carlplz00001]

Merc is better

[@jaydipkumar]

Nothing can beat the Mercedes.......they knows what are they doing.... Audi is just a normal DNA of Volks wagen group...

[@agonbylygbashi3667]

Patel Jay Mercedes had comfort but it is not Nice to ride

[@klajdizizolli7304]

Mercedes Benz the best or nothing

[@rajvaswani7878]

Comprehensive review like always. Good work but that spare wheel tho

[@RohanGNair]

Even expensive cars have silly disadvantages. A person who has a big budget but wants practicality will choose a Scorpio instead of the Q7 just beacuse of the stupid spare wheel

[@abdulwadood9987]

true.

[@viccao8431]

The q7 in North American doesn’t have it

[@trendchannel3567]

Rohan G. Nair what about fortuner

[@Realking1014]

my brother own q7 but it never satisfied me that why I booked gls

[@jacobspeeds]

rival bros ;)

[@amalraj6614]

GLS king

[@rigpathak]

For sure GLS is beast and new one is on its way 🤗🤗

[@prabhjotsingh6582]

I'd still get gls with beige interior

[@kelroybrotherson7725]

Man gotta love the gls 450 4matic

[@nabindas5920]

Mercedes Benz GLS is better.

[@rupasreechanda8214]

My favourite SUVs are Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 excellence

[@SP_Shivansh_Patil]

Third row is major drawback of Q7, Instruments cluster is drawback of gls. I have seen many videos to choose suv for me and the name which will top the list is """" Lincoln Navigator 2018"""""""". Really great job lincoln guys,

[@chinmaykeni188]

Autocar India when are you doing the comparison of 2016 Audi Q7 vs 2016 Bmw X5 in India ?

[@gx455]

Gls is much superior. They are different concepts. In fact audi is gonna sell a new q9 and bmw the new x7 to rivalise it.

[@pujanacharya5458]

Thumbs up for GLS 👍

[@sunilkumarkp1]

Nice video...Q7 always a step ahead...but d way now its look!! i thk now its became a baby of old massive & attractive Q7.

[@real_estate_dxb]

I’ll go with the gls any day!💯🔥

[@saideepungarala9640]

@autocarindia may be u should to take the q7 against gle 350d because q7 is not a typical 7 seater suv as gls. I think gle 350d would be a perfect rival for q7 and it would really be a tough competition for q7 may be try that.

[@sunnytomar9785]

audi 😘 mercedes is old man wearing suit

[@Djpidro]

u should watch the GLS with a white interior ... it's much better

[@nithishjvj8736]

The Q7 goes up against GLE and X5 GLS is a segment higher which currently Competes the X7 Audi doesn’t have a competitor in that segment

[@aniketb.2211]

dominating GLS anytime than a estate looking new Q7

[@Neomet010]

An extremely well presented review. Thank you!!

[@HodsBroo]

GLS is more expensive, bigger, heavier, wider, more luxurious. No competition.

[@ibzino5364]

Q7 is the best forever

[@445gautam]

I would go for new ford endeavour instead which provides all the features provided by these two cars.and save 50 lakhs.

[@shadyforever2687]

+Goutam Nayak if you are talking about features endeavour is not even closer to these

[@gauravrawat813]

Ford endeavour does not provide 360°camera, ambient lightning, ventilated & heated leather seats and 14.75 kmpl efficiency in diesel 4×4 AWD automatic

[@raghavmalhotra3482]

simply say u cant buy a star or some expensive rings

[@amalraj6614]

GLS only

[@selvamuthukumaranrameshbab4882]

well... quite good comparison but am asking you for a bout a month regarding a mixed comparison of Mercedes Benz GLS, GLE,GLC,GLA beside each other with size variant and feature variants

[@darinikolova4557]

Selvamuthukumaran Rameshbabu Hi GLS is a very big SUV . It is the best car for a family with kids. (Like a family with 3 kids me and my husband decided we need a big car and two smaller SUVs ) It fits us perfectly GLE /coupe it's not as big as the GLS but it's still impressive . This was our second choice . We use it like a car for small trips or even in the city. GLC / coupe is big enough for a family with 2 kids . ( we live near a mountain so it's snowy in the winter. We decided this is the best car for the city and also we use it to take our kids to school,kindergarten etc. GLA - my personal opinion is that it isn't really an SUV. It's small and short . A family with no kids can fit . Wish I helped you (Sorry for my English)

[@sreenikeshgroup6340]

Am waiting for u gls babby....

[@karansapra5942]

Audi could have placed the spare wheel on the rear door as it is occupying 1/4 th of the boot which is something very disgusting in the Full Size SUV

[@uiyygggg]

Apart from third row spare wheel & the lost of sheer road presence everything about the Q7 is exceptional....It's truly the benchmark SUV for all other luxury car makers...

[@consciouspirate]

When are you guys gonna review the '16 Pajero Sport? Also is it required by your gov't to have full size spares at the back? Cause over here a donut spare will suffice.

[@livingstonezimori2543]

Should compare the GLS with the Q8 and GLE with the Q7

[@arjunts4816]

nice review,bulky shaped alloys of the Q7 gives it dated look

[@narulislam9362]

Both car are woderful

[@rahulreddy4560]

There is no point getting a big SUV like Audi without 7 seat's

[@mandareng]

i like two cars is best for go holidays

[@peter5500]

I hope this is Merc's last facelift that carry their old telephone centre console.. it's so outed now to Audi's slick touch sensitive one

[@JEEP2010]

I love the keypad lol

[@supritachaudhary7366]

Mercedes is better...

[@aniruddhaagrawal2055]

I missed XC90 in this review. It can outclass Q7 in many aspects !

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but my old suburban had a second row of captain's chairs. Doesn't anyone make the second row with captains chairs anymore? You can just walk back to the third row

[@A_guan]

Finally someone has an actual comparison with these 2! Well I know what I'm picking...the xc90 but the q7 is a close second. Plus it's better then the GLS in almost every category expect slightly smaller 3rd row and boot space

[@paulstefan357]

this is ur opinion

[@ravikumarreddy3014]

Suggest which is better q7 r gls

[@abdulganiuganikale9311]

It will always be Merc..

[@curtisni604]

GLS350 is just the entry level. The AMG version is definitely a class of its own.

[@agarwalviraj]

I'd go for the GLS anytime. Mercedes interior is far better

[@paulstefan357]

exactly😉

[@aryamihirsingh6110]

Exactly bro mercedes is best in terms of iteriors..

[@dandaraghuveerreddy7778]

Viraj Agarwal Audi interior are best

[@arnavsingh8558]

nunchaku101 but thats where it is... merc does both

[@letsgetstarted9099]

Merc GLS any day....

[@architmaheshwari9106]

which car is best under 50 lakhs?

[@peter5500]

I don't get why people complain about the Merc 'Ipad' on the dash .. the Audi on looks worse randomly placed on the massive Q7 dash

[@Kushal-xs3qo]

GLS is best choice

[@saurabhshastri9549]

Renuka ur looking too beautiful & also ur voice is also so good n immpresive. - Saurabh Shastri.

[@tajigang139]

This Q7 is way underloaded it has so much more packages it could have

[@rubaimisra7042]

Gls 350 d is better than the small Q7

[@aubreymorgan4872]

Love our Q7! Best SUV on the Market.

[@smnoorain6360]

Mercedes gls 350d is the best👌

[@ketangaikwad326]

Still GLS😍😍😍😍

[@harperwallace5633]

I have a q7 and the third row of sets Is ok for my 8 year old brother but I can't even get back there anymore.

[@vivekvardhan5671]

But you better compare Benz GLS with Volvo xc90 this will be the best and touch comparation. Please do it friends

[@gauravrawat813]

Volvo XC90 inscription is better than both Mercedes gls and Audi q7 because it provide because it provide park assist pilot, lane keeping assist, 12 inches infotainment, ventilated and heated leather seats with massage function and a superior efficiency of 17 kmpl to 37 kmpl depending upon variants but the best thing of gls and q7 is that both provided 360°cameras

[@srinivaskiran1493]

Did anyone observe the series of Rangoli's on the road 5:26

[@SP_Shivansh_Patil]

Other suv's are just crap in front of Lincoln navigator. I hope you guys will make video on lincoln navigator 2018, waiting for it

[@mayurgohil2844]
