Audi Q7 vs Mercedes-Benz M-Class

Audi has played its game well in India with the Q7 being one of its highest-ranking cars, even outranking some rivals. This SUV has been lauded not only for its size and space but also for its on- and off-road performance. This time the carmaker has taken its latest version a notch higher with updated styling, design, and features. However, it comes only with a petrol drivetrain, unlike its predecessor's diesel counterpart. Despite lacking the frugal bit now, it sure is at par in terms of performance and capability. Rather superior, for what it brings to the table.

A fast car isn’t usually fast in Indian conditions. Supercars that have to crawl over speed breakers gingerly, aren’t the best companions in traffic and cannot be taken for holidays out on the highway simply because of the attention they garner. An option, then, is the super-SUV, which has the pace of a supercar but can deal easily with India’s potholes, speed breakers and have enough boot space and tank range to take out on a holiday. The ML63 AMG is one of this class, and it seems to be the vehicle one should choose if one wants to fly under the radar and get his performance high. Does it live up to the expectations that naturally occur when you have ‘AMG’ on it, though?

This is a bright blue, technologically superior and bigger wheeled twin of what is already a delectable full-sized luxury SUV, the new Audi Q7. Okay, you can order the Audi SQ7 – yes, that's what it is called for it is faster as well – in more colours than just blue, but the SQ7 just looks brilliant in this colour.
