Audi Q7 history 

Not only is the Q7 the first SUV Audi ever made, but it was one of the first properly big SUVs you could buy. 

In many ways, this and the Range Rover kicked off the trend of luxurious, large, high-up family cars – and now look at how many there are. 

> First-generation Audi Q7 (2006-2015) - the first of its kind, offering masses of boot space, big, powerful engines and style 

> Second-generation Audi Q7 (2015-present) - adding a plug-in hybrid variant and a styling change, this is probably the one to have if you care about tech 

What features does the Audi Q7 have?

Inside, the Q7 is a very pleasant place to be. Luxurious leather covers the seats and dashboard, and the panoramic sunroof creates an airier feel inside the cabin.   

Standard kit across the range includes Bluetooth, heated electric seats, Audi’s 12.3-inch virtual cockpit that replaces the traditional dials, and a 10.1-inch central display.   

Audi’s MMI Touch infotainment system works like a dream and is very smooth and responsive. It's also available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.   

Some used models may come with the optional Comfort and Sound pack, which introduces a 360-degree camera, keyless entry and start, ambient LED lighting and a very powerful 730-watt, 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.    

The boot itself measures in at 770 litres as standard, reducing to 295 litres with the third row of seats up.    

You can also fold the second row of seats down for 1,955 litres of space, which is nearly 100 litres more than that of its Volvo XC90 rival.

Is the Audi Q7 reliable?

On the whole, Audis are very reliable cars – especially ones that are cared for properly. 

Granted, they’re a little more expensive to maintain than less premium brands, but if you follow regular servicing, you shouldn’t encounter any issues. 

All Audi Q7s also come from the factory with a three-year warranty. 

How much does the Audi Q7 cost to run?

There are a range of engines on offer with the Q7 – diesels, petrols and hybrids.   

The petrol engine in the 55 TFSI model is a 3.0-litre unit that produces 340hp and is said to return up to 25.7mpg, according to Audi.  

This engine is best suited to those who do shorter drives, because that’s where petrol-powered SUVs tend to lie.   

The entry-level diesel engine in the 45 TDI model is a turbocharged 3.0-litre diesel V6 that produces 231hp and is very happy on longer motorway journeys, but will start to run out of breath if you push it too hard.   

If you plan on lugging lots of stuff around, carrying up to seven people and towing a trailer, then there is only one engine for you.  

This is the mighty 3.0-litre V6 diesel found in the 50 TDI model, which produces 286hp.    

Not only does it have the most pulling power, but it should also return up to 30mpg in normal driving conditions.    

There’s now also a Q7 plug-in hybrid on offer, perfect for higher levels of fuel efficiency and cutting back on running costs.   

Who is the Audi Q7 suitable for?

If you’re in need of a massive German SUV, there’s nowhere else to look but the Audi Q7. It’s big, it’s brash and it’s everything you’d need. 

It doesn’t come without competition, mind. Its main rivals include the BMW X7, Mercedes GLE and Porsche Cayenne.
