2025 Lexus TX vs Audi Q7
Is the 2025 Audi Q7 or Lexus TX Right for Your Family?
Comparing the Lexus TX vs Audi Q7, you will find many similarities. These three-row large SUVs offer comfort, technology and top amenities.
In this 2025 Audi Q7 comparison, we'll explore how the TX brings a new perspective that is compelling in this large luxury SUV segment. Can this modern design tempt the Audi Q7 shopper away from a traditional choice? That’s up to you!
Exterior Design: A Modern Edge
Curb appeal isn’t the only reason to buy a luxury SUV, but it is often one reason cited by consumers. They don’t want something boring. After all, they are paying a premium, expecting the best of the best.
In this case, the Lexus TX owns curb appeal with its sleek, sculpted body and its lower profile. There’s something inviting about its modern design that is missing from the 2025 Audi Q7 in Phoenix. Perhaps it’s the signature spindle grille or the eye-catching lines?
These Lexus large SUVS have the advantage of being built from the ground up. Engineers could consider every angle, every inch as they worked to create an SUV that was both appealing and aerodynamic.
Performance: Power and Efficiency Combined
The Lexus TX and Audi Q7 in Phoenix are very competitive on the road, but the TX pulls ahead by a nose. Its 275-horsepower engine is a better choice than the Audi Q7 engine which produces 261 horsepower.
For drivers who like a speedy powertrain, but don’t want to sacrifice efficiency, there’s only one choice. The 2025 Lexus TX 500h offers a hybrid that generates 366 horsepower while the TX 500h+ is a plug in hybrid capable of 404 horsepower.
Meanwhile you can choose the Audi Q7 55, but this engine produces only 335 horsepower without any emphasis on efficiency. Or you can spend twice the money and finally get better horsepower, when you choose the 2025 Q7 lineup at your Audi dealer in Phoenix.
The Cargo King
One of these SUVs is the biggest, and it isn’t the Audi Q7, despite its higher pricetag. The Lexus TX dominates in cargo capacity with 42% more space behind the third row and 39% more maximum cargo volume than the Q7!
TX SUVs are cargo kings with 6 cubic feet more behind the third row, where it counts the most. It continues to rule this comparison with an extra 27.4 cubic feet in maximum storage with the seats folded.
Adding to its image as the cargo king, every Lexus TX offers an exclusive dual-open console. This special design allows for access by parents in the front row and kids on the second row. Furthermore, the six-seat option offers a removable console box for second row storage and versatility. 
Spaciousness Queen
While the 2025 Audi Q7 in Phoenix is a big rig, the Lexus TX is bigger. This 3-row Lexus is longer overall with an extra 3.5 inches and provides a longer wheelbase with an extra 5.1 inches.
Those numbers wouldn’t matter if it didn’t translate into headroom and legroom. The good news for Lexus TX families is that there is more room. You’ll find more headroom on the second and third rooms. There’s more legroom on all three rows. Superior third-row comfort is assured with an extra 4.3 inches of legroom and an extra 1.3 inches of headroom.
The last size consideration is the number of seats. The 2025 Audi Q7 in Phoenix AZ sticks to a seven-person layout without providing any other option. Always versatile, the Lexus TX provides a six-passenger layout option. Of course, this adds center-row captain’s chairs, which are favorites with teen and adult passengers. 
Value vs Price
If you are like many luxury shoppers, it’s not about price. It’s about value for your dollar. At your Audi dealer in Phoenix, you’ll find a range of prices, but you’ll spend more and potentially get less. Already we’ve shown how the TX is more spacious for people and more accommodating for cargo.
TX pricing consistently undercuts Audi Q7 pricing by $690 to $4,010 across comparable trim levels. This makes the TX a compelling value proposition for Phoenix parents or busy executives seeking maximum space at a lower price point than the German competition.
The front-wheel drive TX 350 starts at $56,490 while the all-wheel drive edition starts at $58,090. The 2025 Audi Q7 Premium price starts at about $60,500 with the TX 350 Premium MSRP at about $59,290.
At the top of the trim level ladder, the Q7 Prestige 55 TFSI price starts at about $77,900 while the 2025 Lexus TX 550h+ Luxury PHEV starts at about $77,210. For the price difference, you get best-in-class hybrid performance with the Lexus TX.
From the start, Lexus offers more generous standard equipment (more power, better audio, larger wheels) for your luxury automotive dollar. In other words, despite any price difference, the TX emphasizes luxury content to make it worthy of its Lexus badge. 
Conclusion: The Lexus TX Raises the Bar
The 2025 Audi Q7 in Phoenix is a formidable opponent. If it were bigger and if it were as value-packed as the TX, the contest would be tighter. Still, it’s a fact that the TX is bigger, better equipped for the price, and extremely competitive in the areas of luxury, amenities, performance, and technologies. Plus it has a class-leading hybrid in the lineup.
With all of these advantages -- and more, the TX should be the first 3-row luxury SUV on your must-drive list. Schedule a test drive and enjoy some hands-on research.
