Acura MDX vs Audi Q7: A Triumph of Performance and Comfort
Comfort should never be optional.
The six-passenger Acura MDX SH-AWD® with Advance Package comes standard with a wealth of luxurious interior amenities that you won’t find on the Audi Q7. Front row seats are heated and ventilated. Milano leather seats throughout the SUV let everyone ride in comfort. Second-row passengers can customize their climate with their own heating and A/C controls while relaxing in captain’s chairs — a seating option that isn't available on the Audi SUV. With MDX's seven USB ports to the Q7's two, passengers in every row can charge electronic devices. And with 90.9 cubic feet of cargo volume—19.3 cubic feet more than the Audi Q7—the Acura MDX has ample space to stash everyone’s stuff.
