Hey,bros.Which one will have higher running/maintenance cost??And also the fuel consumption and such.

Audi Q7 (3.6 V6/4.2 V8)

or

Mercedes-Benz W221 S350 (3.5 V6) ??

Someone I know is thinking of getting either one,but are not sure about the maintenance/running cost.

Audi is definitely higher maintenance, merc is actually a very low maintenance car, normal service less than 1K

I think Audi is lower. Service every 15k km and only change engine oil. 60k service change ATF/dsg fluid, brake pads. Less than 2k. My car already at 70k. No problems to report.

Dads Merc had brake failure and gearbox failure already. Older than my car but less kms.
