2022 Lexus GX 460 vs 2022 Audi Q7 in Chantilly, VA
2022 Lexus GX 460 shown above with available options.
The 2022 Lexus GX 460 is a celebrated luxury midsize SUV that shines on city streets, suburban neighborhoods, and off-road trails. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that this model consistently outpaces its competition. To illustrate this point, our Pohanka Lexus team has put it up against the 2022 Audi Q7. Keep reading to see how these two models compare!
Exterior
The outer shell will be the first thing onlookers will notice when these vehicles set out onto Sully Road, but which one will garner more stares? Drivers at the helm of the Lexus GX 460 may find themselves at the center of attention more frequently. This is due to the vibrant color options like Nightfall Mica, Nebula Gray Pearl, and Claret Mica, which are all available for no additional cost. Audi fans will have to pay extra to express their style with any shade that isn’t Carrara White. To further help your Lexus shine, look no further than the standard triple-beam LED headlamps for crisp and clear illumination. The standard front LED lights on the Audi pale in comparison. When the winter season rolls around, the available windshield wiper de-icer will be a welcome feature on the GX 460 and sorely missed by the Q7.
Performance
Let’s turn our attention to the performance capabilities of these models. Standard under the hood of the 2022 Lexus GX 460 is a 4.6L V8 engine that thunders to the tune of 301 horsepower1 and 329 lb.-ft. of torque1. Meanwhile, drivers of the 2022 Audi Q7 will have to upgrade to a higher trim level to keep up since its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine can only produce 248 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. The Lexus model comes standard with a full-time 4WD system and available Crawl Control2 makes traversing challenging terrain a breeze. The Audi does come standard with quattro® AWD, you won’t find anything comparable to Crawl Control. To seal the deal, the GX 460 is ready to flex right out of the gate, boasting an impressive 6,500-lb. towing capacity3 across all trim levels. The base Q7’s meager 4,400-lb. towing capacity4 will likely have you looking for a costly trim upgrade.
Technology
Those on board the Lexus SUV will find no shortage of advanced features to enjoy. Crowning the center stack is a standard 10.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen. While the Audi may attempt to distract with two vertically-oriented displays, the primary panel is only 10.1 inches, while the secondary unit is relegated to climate controls. Both of these vehicles offer control over certain aspects via an associated smartphone app, but it's worth pointing out that Lexus Enform Remote5 access is standard and included for the first three years of ownership. Alternatively, Audi drivers will only be able to enjoy Audi connect®6 services for six months after their initial purchase before needing to pay up. In the unlikely event that you still need convincing, consider that the GX 460 features an available Panoramic View Monitor7 with Multi-Terrain Monitor8 for more awareness when traveling off-road. You won’t get this benefit driving the Q7.
In the matchup of the 2022 Lexus GX 460 vs 2022 Audi Q7 in Chantilly, VA, the former takes the crown. Visit Pohanka Lexus today and take this SUV for a test drive!
