Land Rover Defender vs Audi Q7

Shop New Defender SUV Near Long Island, NY

A lot of luxury SUVs have refined materials, muscular engines, and roomy interiors, but most of them can't handle rough terrain or snow-covered roads. The new Defender SUV is one of those rare SUVs that's just as suitable for climbing steep hills as it is for a night on the town in Huntington, NY. The new Audi Q7 is also a well-appointed luxury SUV, but we think it doesn't quite match the performance and utility of the Land Rover Defender. See how the Defender stacks up to the competition
