Audi Q7 (2015-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Serene ride on air suspension	Strong resale values make used examples expensive
Beautifully made and practical interior	Third row not as roomy as a Land Rover Discovery's
SQ7 is very fast indeed	Styling looks a bit awkward

Quick Summary

The Audi Q7 (2015-present) is an excellent luxury seven-seat SUV that has been significantly refined since its 2015 launch. The second-generation model shed around 240kg compared to its predecessor, dramatically improving ride, handling, and fuel economy for such a large vehicle. Inside, the Q7 is superbly finished with a standard of trim that rivals premium competitors, offering abundant space in the first two rows and a cavernous 1,908-litre boot when the rear seats are folded. The fully digital cockpit introduced in 2019 provides a hi-tech driving experience with configurable displays and intuitive touchscreen controls.

The Q7 delivers impressive performance with its 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engines producing either 218bhp or 268bhp, both offering quattro four-wheel drive and excellent towing capability. Buyers can choose between steel springs or adaptive air suspension, with the latter providing a serene low-speed ride. The Audi Drive Select system allows drivers to tailor the car's character across efficiency, dynamic, comfort, and individual modes. For such a large, luxurious vehicle, running costs are relatively reasonable, with the 218bhp diesel achieving 52.3mpg on the combined cycle. The SQ7 variant offers thrilling performance for those seeking something more exciting, whilst mild-hybrid technology introduced in 2019 has further improved efficiency and emissions.

Best for: Buyers seeking a spacious, luxurious seven-seat SUV with excellent build quality, those prioritising a serene ride and refined driving experience, and families needing practical versatility with premium comfort.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, as strong resale values make used examples expensive, or those preferring the extra roominess of a Land Rover Discovery's third row.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q7 if: You're seeking a spacious, luxurious seven-seat SUV with excellent build quality, prioritising a serene ride and refined driving experience, or needing practical versatility with premium comfort for family use.

Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious, as strong resale values make used examples expensive, or you prefer the extra roominess of a Land Rover Discovery's third row.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q7 stands at the top of the luxury SUV class, matching the BMW X5 for expert appeal whilst offering superior user satisfaction compared to most rivals. Its beautifully finished interior and serene ride on air suspension set it apart, though the Land Rover Discovery offers better value and more spacious third-row seating. The Volvo XC90 edges ahead in user ratings with its Swedish design flair, but the Q7's combination of performance, practicality, and refinement makes it an excellent choice for discerning buyers. The SQ7 variant provides thrilling performance for those seeking something more dynamic, whilst the standard diesels offer a sensible balance of capability and running costs.
