DESIGN
For the latest model year, the Audi Q7’s updated style makes a bold yet elegant statement, both coming and going. That begins where first impressions are made: the exterior. Its refreshed Singleframe® grille, LED headlamps, and four distinctive wheel options are head-turners. Then, when you step inside the Q7’s cabin, that upscale, contemporary design extends to the premium trimmings that furnish its interior, ensuring those impressions last.
Interior Amenities
The Audi Q7 proves that it’s so much more than a people-mover with three rows that can seat up to seven. It makes sure every trip is a pleasure cruise thanks to a plethora of standard features that put you, quite literally, in the lap of luxury. Among them are:
- Leather seating
- Heated front seats
- 3-zone automatic climate control system
- Power panoramic sunroof
- High-gloss Gray oak wood inlays
Want even more deluxe luxe? Four-zone climate control and ventilated seats with massage functionality are also available.
Spacious and Gracious
With the Audi Q7, you’ll have room for everyone and everything—and can ensure a comfortable experience for all. The table below illustrates that each rider will have plenty of wiggle room, no matter where they’re seated.
Headroom (1st/2nd/3rd row) | Legroom (1st/2nd/3rd row) | Cargo Volume (behind (1st/2nd/3rd row) |
|---|---|---|
| 39.9/38.8/35.9 inches | 41.7/38.8/29.2 inches | 69.6/35.7/14.2 cubic feet |
Thanks to its power-folding third row, you can easily load and unload, then access the cargo hold through the hands-free power tailgate.
PERFORMANCE
Now that everyone is on board, you’ll want to know that you can get from Point A to Point B with ease. In the Q7, you’ll enjoy a sporty performance with either of its two turbocharged engine options, each paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission. Meanwhile, standard quattro® all-wheel drive optimizes acceleration and handling, enabling you to venture through any road or weather conditions you encounter along the way.
Power That Packs a Punch
With its standard engine, you’ll have plenty of power and capability for any road trip you have planned. Plus, you’ll be able to drive for many miles before stopping to refuel. Thanks to its 22.5-gallon tank, you’ll be able to travel up to 585 miles. Power plus efficiency? Now, that’s a potent combination!

Some features are designed to keep you informed, engaged, and entertained, while others will help protect you and yours while out on the road.
Intuitive Infotainment
It all starts with the standard customizable Audi virtual cockpit plus that clearly displays driving information on a 12.3-inch screen. Meanwhile, the MMI® touch response infotainment system provides a 10.1-inch touchscreen that mimics your smartphone display, while a secondary 8.6-inch touchscreen enables you to control climate and vehicle settings. Bluetooth® with audio streaming and 4G LTE Wi-Fi are just a few additional attributes you’ll enjoy as standard.
The available wireless phone charging pad ensures your device will remain fully powered, no matter how long you’re away from your home base. Choose the perfect soundtrack for your epic road trip and hear every note in crystal-clear sound with the available 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen® Premium sound system with 3D sound.

- Adaptive cruise assist
- Audi pre sense® front
- Parking system plus (front and rear acoustic sensors)
- Rearview camera

Beyond that, the Q7 has been fully vetted, undergoing rigorous testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). For the latest model year, the Audi Q7 has been recognized by both highly revered expert organizations:

Clearly, the Audi Q7 has another feature built into it: peace of mind.

As luxury vehicles, the Audi and BMW flagship models have much to offer. Although the X5 arrived on the scene first, the Q7 has wasted no time in surpassing it. Not only will the Audi accommodate more of your travel companions, but it also ensures you can go nearly anywhere without an upgrade. Plus, its endorsement by the NHTSA will have you heading there confidently.

The Audi Q7 and the Volvo XC90 share many similarities beyond both models being 7-seater SUVs. They each have standard all-wheel drive and two powertrain options; still, whether you choose the standard or the available engine, the Q7 rises above the XC90. Substantially greater towing capability further cements the Audi Q7 as the preferred power player.**

Continuing our exploration of luxury SUVs, the highly rated Acura MDX steps up to present its case. Although it offers similar fuel economy to the Audi Q7, there’s a critical difference. The Q7’s larger gas tank means you can travel over 100 more miles than in the MDX. Consider its standard AWD and 2,700 more pounds of towing capability, and the Audi says, “Case closed.” **
