A blank cell below means we don't have that figure, not that the car scores badly on it. We leave them empty rather than estimate, so any row where one car is blank isn't a like-for-like comparison yet.

Matching the Audi Q7's standard equipment means adding extra-cost options to the BMW X2, and one is priced only inside a package whose price the manufacturer doesn't publish, so the true gap is larger than the sticker difference suggests.
On-road costs (stamp duty, registration, CTP and dealer delivery) depend on your state and the dealer; ask for a written drive-away price before you sign.

Safety Rundown
ANCAP's published record does not give the Audi Q7 a rating. We hold no ANCAP data for the BMW X2. With no pair of ratings to compare, the active-safety features in the spec table above are the fairer comparison.

Feature Showdown
The Audi Q7 features a 10.1-inch touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital dash, while the BMW X2 gets a 10.7-inch display and 10.3-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.
The Audi Q7 stands out with panoramic roof, ventilated seats, Bang & Olufsen audio and ambient lighting — features our data doesn't list for the BMW X2. The BMW X2 counters with wireless charging. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the Audi Q7 gets leather upholstery while the BMW X2 offers veganza (synthetic). Climate control is 3-zone in the Audi Q7 and 2-zone in the BMW X2.
Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Audi Q7 uses a 4-cylinder petrol with direct fuel injection system, turbocharging producing 185kW and 370Nm of torque, sent through a 8-speed tiptronic to a AWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.3 seconds.
The BMW X2 responds with a Petrol making 125kW and 280Nm, paired to a 7-speed automatic (steptronic with gearshift paddles) driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 8.3 seconds.
The Audi Q7 has the clear power advantage at 185kW vs 125kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Audi Q7 is 1.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Audi Q7 measures 5,052mm long on a 2,994mm wheelbase, 498mm longer than the BMW X2 at 4,554mm (2,692mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Audi Q7 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 780L in the Audi Q7 and 515L in the BMW X2, giving the Audi Q7 a 265L advantage. The Audi Q7 seats 7 vs 5.
For towing, the Audi Q7 leads with a 2,000kg braked capacity vs 1,800kg. That 200kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
The Audi Q7 turns in a 12.5 m circle, kerb to kerb; the BMW X2's turning circle is not on our record.
Cost to own
We do not hold a like-for-like fuel or energy figure for both cars, so we do not cost them against each other.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Audi Q7) and 5 years / Unlimited (BMW X2).
Where each one leads
The Audi Q7: more power (185kW against 125kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (780L against 515L) and the higher braked towing limit (2,000kg against 1,800kg).
The BMW X2: the lower starting price ($72,800 against $108,815).
The Verdict
Audi Q7 scores higher, 66 vs 60
The Audi Q7 scores 66 to the BMW X2's 60 on the CarSorted Score, and leads 4 of the 5 spec rows that separate them. The biggest gaps: practicality (Audi Q7 ahead by 21 points), performance (Audi Q7 ahead by 13 points). Boot space with the seats up: 780L in the Audi Q7, 515L in the BMW X2.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
