Lincoln Aviator vs. Audi Q7: Engine Specs 

Let's kick off our Aviator vs. Q7 comparison with a look at some engine specs. The 2024 Aviator is powered by a 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 across its entire lineup, while those who opt for the 2025 Q7 can choose between two powertrains: a 2.0L Turbo I4 and a 3.0L Turbo V6.

While we appreciate having options, the fact that the 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 that powers the Aviator is more powerful than both the powertrain options available for the Q7 makes the Aviator the winner in our book. 

Plus, not only is the Aviator the more powerful of the two, but it is also the more affordable option. The more robust 3.0L Turbo V6 engine is available starting with the Audi Q7 55 Premium quattro®, which has a starting MSRP of $65,800. This exceeds the MSRP of the Aviator Premiere by well over $10,000.
