2025 Audi Q7 vs 2025 Maserati Grecale

$60,500 · Crossover

$76,500 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

The 2025 Audi Q7 offers refined German luxury starting at a compelling $60,500, boasting a solid 261 hp and standard AWD efficiency. Contrast this with the fiery 2025 Maserati Grecale, which introduces Italian drama and significantly more power (325 hp) for its $76,500 premium. While the Q7 stretches 199.3 inches long and provides 20/26 MPG, the Grecale is slightly more compact at 190.9 inches but achieves a marginally better 24 MPG combined. The Maserati wins on sheer driving excitement thanks to that 64 hp advantage, while the Audi counters with nearly 5 cubic feet more cargo space (14.2 cu ft vs. 18.9 cu ft might be misleading if the Q7's capacity is measured differently, so I'll focus on the Grecale's clear advantage in absolute cargo volume listed here) - Wait, I will recheck the cargo: Grecale lists 18.9 cu ft, Q7 lists 14.2 cu ft. The Grecale wins on cargo volume listed here. However, the Q7 offers a significantly lower barrier to entry for premium AWD utility. The Grecale is the spirited choice for driving thrills; the Q7 is the pragmatic luxury powerhouse.
