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 second-generation Audi Q7, launched in 2015, significantly improved upon its predecessor, notably by shedding around 240kg. This weight reduction enhances ride, handling, and fuel economy for this large, seven-seat SUV. Inside, it boasts a superbly made, luxurious cabin with ample space in the first two rows. While the third row is not as spacious as a Land Rover Discovery's, it's suitable for shorter journeys. The Q7 offers a practical 780-litre boot, expanding to 1,908 litres with the rear seats folded, and features individually sliding and reclining middle-row seats.

Power comes primarily from a 3.0-litre V6 diesel, available in 218hp and 272hp outputs, both offering strong performance and quattro all-wheel drive, suitable for towing. Optional adaptive air suspension provides a serene ride, and the Audi Drive Select system allows for customisable driving dynamics. Running costs are reasonable for its class; diesel models typically achieve mid-30s mpg, with mild-hybrid versions from 2019 offering further efficiency improvements. While the high-performance SQ7 is thirstier, strong resale values, fixed-price servicing, and competitive insurance groups (35-50) contribute to manageable ownership, although large tyres can be expensive.

Best for: Families needing a spacious and luxurious 7-seater SUV, buyers seeking a high-quality, well-built interior, those who appreciate a comfortable, serene ride (especially with air suspension), and drivers wanting strong performance (SQ7) and towing capability.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget (due to high purchase price and expensive tyres), those prioritising ultimate third-row space over a Land Rover Discovery, drivers seeking the most engaging handling dynamics (like a Porsche Cayenne), or anyone sensitive to potentially awkward exterior styling.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Q7 if: You need a luxurious, practical, and well-built seven-seat SUV with strong performance and a comfortable ride.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget, prioritise maximum third-row space, or seek the most dynamic driving experience.

Competitive Position: The Audi Q7 (2015-present) stands as a top contender in the luxury SUV segment, offering a premium interior, impressive practicality, and a comfortable driving experience. While its strong resale values make it an expensive used purchase, its manageable running costs for the class and excellent overall package justify the investment. It excels in refinement and build quality, though rivals like the Land Rover Discovery might offer more third-row space, and the Porsche Cayenne more dynamic handling. The Q7 remains a highly desirable and well-rounded choice.
