Where each one leads
Audi SQ7
- Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol Audi SQ7 uses 14.9 l/100 km on the road, the Land Rover Range Rover 15.4.
Land Rover Range Rover
- On Canada's official test the most frugal 2026 Land Rover Range Rover uses 12.6 l/100 km, the 2026 Audi SQ7 14.3.
- New Land Rover Range Rover cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 206 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 281 for the Audi SQ7 in 2022.
Too close to call: new York safety inspections failed, against cars of the same year; dutch odometer readings judged illogical.
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
