[@brianlee5649]

Audi really killed it with this new Q7. I love it, along with the older Q7 TDIs!

It honestly astonishes me how a luxury SUV that starts at $55,000 does not have blind-spot monitoring. Brands like Honda and Toyota include a lot of safety features standard on all of their vehicles.

[@josejavier19]

Its unacceptable that in 2020 this luxury brands keep charging additional for safety features when almost all brands from half the price are putting all the features standard in all levels

[@ericchen3444]

Great Video! The New Q7 is a huge upgrade to the older Q7 that got outdated quickly by other cars in the Audi lineup.

[@chadhanson4369]

Maserati is nicer than both and they build the (most awarded suv ever) Jeep Cherokee on the same assembly line directly after the 6 figure luxury vehicle. They merged companies in 2014 and build both vehicles in the same factory The Dodge Charger/Challenger was 90% the same as the Maserati Ghibli as well and built off that $80,000 luxury platform

[@frankieucf]

Nice detailed review compared to most average videos out there that skim over the specs without going into details. The interior is stunning. I still feel the instrument panel is overly complicated to operate with ease but much better looking than my 2015 Q7. Keep the videos coming!

i'll keep my 2016 touareg with REAL snazzy exhaust tips :D

[@alexstickney156]

You're the very first reviewers who correctly called it a head up display (vs the incorrect head's up display). And yes, I hate either fake exhausts or no exhausts. This is not an electric vehicle so it by necessity must have an exhaust. Show it and make it look and sound good. Only major downside for me is the severe reduction in front storage space. That might almost be a deal killer for me. Nice review.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! And totally agree with everything you said

[@webbie1891]

This interior would look 🔥🔥 with red leather seats 👌🏾

I can actually answer this question having owned the 2019 Q8 without air suspension and now the 2020 Q7 with the air suspension; I can without a doubt say there is a noticeable difference in ride quality.

[@Robwilli]

Don't get me wrong, Audi's are amazing vehicles and they're up there with the best. But in the end, it's all about preference. I personally don't like Audi vehicles except the R8 (that's the only car I love from Audi). But when it comes to SUVs and sedans, I prefer BMW or Mercedes.

[@DM-xt3rl]

Yeah it looks good but I see a lot more people buying the Genesis G80. That vehicle is stunning and is not more than $65000 fully loaded. Also I think that the new Acura MDX is going to step up in a major way. Either way it’s just hard to spend $70000 + for a vehicle with very questionable reliability and repair cost. Although most people drive these vehicles do lease them.

[@ScottSellsSoCal]

I had a 2017 Q7, and loved the car except for a few issues: it ate tires for lunch. Expensive, $1800 for all tires. The driving experience was meh..... it accelerated well only if you really buried your foot. The second row seating was generous and comfortable. Worst thing? The 4 wheel drive! While decelerating, it can make you feel car sick. All four wheels are full power, and that really lurches you forward. I had passengers make comments. The BMW X5 has a rear bias 4 wheel drive that does NOT make you feel like this.

[@alexstickney156]

I feel like this is going to come off as negative but it is not meant to be that way. Given the minuses you mentioned (esp the AWD performance), why didn't you just buy a car instead of an SUV? I'm actually looking at the new Q7 so I am certainly not saying you should not have bought an SUV.

[@ScottSellsSoCal]

Alex Stickney well, I’ve had SUV’s for the last 15 years, so I want the same. I’m too tall for most cars. I came from BMW (4 different X5) and thought I’d try the Audi because it’s great on paper. It’s a great car, but the tire wear and the AWD performance is a deal breaker. Oh! I had the Prestige pkg..... that has all the cameras. Want to know how much the dealer charges for an alignment? It’s 7 hours they quoted and $1200. I’m back in a New BMW, with its more sporty rear biased 4wd and very happy with it.

[@nithishjvj8736]

The Q7 rivals the X5 and GLE there are optional 3rd rows available on the X5 and GLE while they're standard in the Q7 Plus the Q8 competes the x6 and GLE couple, Audi doesn't have an SUV to compete X7 and GLS 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

We just bought a 2018 Q7 and love it. Personally, I hate the piano black and don’t want huge touchscreens over buttons. I don’t like the refresh. Comes down to preference, though.

[@mattX5]

Drew Blessing completely disagree. I test drove a 2017 (identical to the 2018) and found the whole interior to feel so much more dated than the new one. The new one is so much nicer. The 2017 and 2018 models look like a big station wagon, and that’s mainly what kept me from buying the Q7. The new one is definitely improved.

[@alexstickney156]

Bottom line, the Q7 was way past its due date for a refresh, esp the entertainment system. They may have gone a bit overboard with button reduction but otherwise it was way behind the curve, even in the Audi lineup.

Facelift looks weird, front looks way too busy and bonnet doesn’t close properly, big gap. Looks like a q5 when you pay for a Q7. Car now lost its dominate grill surround because only Q8 allows to have the strong looking front grill. In real life the facelift looks very small and cheap compared with the pre-facelift(especially the sq7). If u must buy the facelift, get one in black with black styling pack as it hides all the imperfection.

[@mattX5]

Suryateja GT you’re an absolute, complete and utter moron. BMWS HAVE THIS AMAZING THING CALLED XDRIVE. there are very few bmws sold now without xDrive. I’ve also owned 3 Audi’s with Quattro and 2 BMWs with XDRIVE, and they are literally the same. Cannot feel a difference when in the snow or trying to get traction. Look it up, Xdrive and Quattro are virtually the same in terms of quality. In fact, I got stuck in my 2010 Audi Q5 with Quattro much more than I have with my 2016 BMW X5, which HAS xDrive. Plus, you are completely and utterly wrong about the driving experience. It has hit me that you are either a 5 year old kid who is also an Audi fanboy, or you are an adult that drives some crappy car and has never driven and Audi or a BMW, because they both drive amazingly well. Plus, you seem to be the only person stupid enough to think Audi’s look better than BMWs. Just compare my X5 to this new Q7 since they are competitors, look how hideous and bloated the Q7 looks.
