Car And Driver's Mega-SUV Comparison Test
Posted October 2nd, 2006 At 4:55 PM CST

Exterior view of the 2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Quattro, the 2007 Cadillac Escalade AWD, the 2006 Infiniti QX56 4x4, the 2007 Lincoln Navigator 4x4, and the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 4MATIC

While going through our inbox this bright October afternoon, we received an email from our good friend Sanjeev pointing us to a mega-SUV comparison conducted by the gentlemen over at Car and Driver.

In the article, Car and Driver looked at five of the world's leading SUV's - the 2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Quattro, the 2007 Cadillac Escalade AWD, the 2006 Infiniti QX56 4x4, the 2007 Lincoln Navigator 4x4, and the 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 4MATIC - to determine which sport-ute holds the distinction of being the world's preeminent oversized family hauler.

So which of these illustrious beasts emerged the victor? I'll let the judges take it from here:

"In the final ranking, nothing came close to the GL450. It drives like a tall and muscular car, solidly built and serious about quality. When you unroll north of 60 large, presentation counts. This Benz is a snappy dresser. Instead of acres of vinyl padding on the dash and doors, stitched leather is standard equipment here, facing all passenger positions. Pure luxury, this touch, and applied with the sort of craftsmanship you’d expect from the finest Italian leather boutique."


Well said, Car and Driver, well said.

To read the rest of their comparison, head over to Car and Driver for the full article.

Thanks for the tip Sanjeev.
