what's with audi and their ancient lineup??i it seems like all of their cars are a decade old.

[@CarGeek360]

I wouldn’t bother with the Q7 for sure

[@CarGeek360]

Most VAG products are like that

@@CarGeek360 how is it not?

[@garykupitz1414]

The Q7 is in dire need of a complete redesign. It's definitely showing its age. The amount of piano black on the dash looks cheap. Overall gas mileage is not competitive. IMO there is nothing impressive about the Q7 that sets it apart from the competition.

[@CarGeek360]

Yeah the Q7 just isn’t it

[@JRB41]

The Q7 is not a good car anymore! I’d get the X5 over it any day

Can you afford one ??

[@CarGeek360]

@@TITO2687 they’re entitled to their opinion also I’ve been in the latest Q7, latest MDX, and latest X5, the MDX is just as good as the Q7 for less money (while having a functional 3rd row), the X5 is much better than the Q7 for the same money

How many refreshes are they going to keep giving this thing?

That part cause it still looks the same 🤷

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

It's for sure time for a new design language. They also need to get rid of all of that shiny piano black trim which shows dust like crazy.

[@MercOne]

This is going to be happening a lot now since all these companies planned to go full electric and that has pretty much backfired. There was most likely no plan to replace this with an ICE vehicle so now they to keep this one alive a little longer until a replacement is ready.

[@RonsmooveTI]

True Mercedes said won’t be new S Class till 2029 but they will be refresh in 2026

[@yes8032]

Exactly

[@ejohnson3131]

Someone has to say it: Audi has been selling the same cars for the last 20 years. Just look at any Audi vehicle from the side and you’ll see minimal changes. They just change the front/rear and update their interiors.

[@Someothername2134]

Is that a bad thing? I like their look…

[@titaniumspecial4207]

They have been using that huge front grill far too long, looks tired IMHO.

[@chiemekaa]

I said it from the first time this 2nd gen Q7 came out that they also needed a Q9 with proper SUV proportions. This Q7 still looks more wagon than SUV.

[@chrishollis6015]

Great review, but Audi has fallen short. I can't see why anyone would buy this over the BMW X5. I'm a Audi fan and my wife drives one everyday.

[@SoftCampingSouthAfrica]

For people like myself, X5 wouldn’t survive a month of my lifestyle. Still sucks that Audi is doing the whole Land Cruiser “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” strategy. The piano black is a huge disappointment.

[@CarGeek360]

Yeah the X5 is a much better car + it doesn’t matter that the X5 is 2-row only bc the Q7 3rd row is useless

[@Coffee-xh4kp]

This means the Bentley Bentayga is also getting refreshed.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review as always!😸

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Excellent video guys.

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

As always guys, an excellent overview. I love my ‘21 Q7 Prestige which honestly isn’t that much different than the ‘25 model overall. Just some minor tweaks here and there but Audi got it right with this vehicle and unlike many brands, they don’t make changes for change sake. As a result, they hone their vehicles over the life of the car’s cycle. Most drivers today don’t even remember that European cars used to keep the same models for several years and didn’t even change the model years. For titling purposes in the states, there would be a year model assigned but it was still the same model as the prior year. The Q7 is just a more complete package than the X5 or GLE with which they compete and I plan to drive the ‘21 Q7 for a long time.

[@tkdduqbear]

Great review. How do you guys feel the '25 Q7 compares against the '25 X5 you guys reviewed a couple days ago? I can tell the same level of excitement is def not there compared to the X5 hah

[@RonsmooveTI]

I will compare the 2026 Q7 which is coming 12-14 months

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! It's certainly not as well rounded as the X5 but it does give you a decent third row for way less money than X7

[@CarGeek360]

X5 is much better also the Q7 has a useless 3rd row

[@gtl1010]

Disappointed you didn't test the V6. The 4 cylinder is under powered and not their best seller. Audi claims the 2025 V6 now does 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.

The ppl saying it’s old looking… need to get their eyes checked.

[@wcarp4231]

The overall design looks so tired and to call this a 'refresh' is a joke.

[@Atl404sFinest]

In 2009, Audi was hitting the pavement in terms of innovation, but nowadays they seem to be offering very stale designs with questionable reliability. I’ll pass.

[@isimonsez]

Uh no

[@FunAtDisney]

It still looks very dates and that grill is hideous!

[@Jassman3536]

We have owned Audi's since 2012 and it's time for a change. The Q7 looks and feels like its 10 years old and the third seat area is basically useless. How many refreshes can you do and not update any of the power trains other than a few tweak's. The competition has improved and I thought I'd never say this but am looking at Japanese..primarily Mazda whom I feel has really improved and very cost competitive at 20+k less.

[@josephpayton9151]

Honestly, if it were me I would save money and get the VW Atlas which also got a refresh. For one, the refresh was more extensive and major than the refresh for this Q7. This refresh is very bland at least for this 45 model that you guys tested. Feature wise, this and the Q7 are pretty much in line. This has a little bit more stuff but it doesn’t make a big difference. In addition to that, the atlas is more practical than this and practicality matters so much in this segment. Its a shame that a compact crossover has more places to put stuff than this. Im also not a fan of all the gloss black used. I couldn’t do it. Too much gloss black would gave me a headache to wipe down and keep clean because of dust and finger prints. I wish Audi would’ve expanded the use of leather. Gloss black seems quite cheap on a 71k suv. Thats a gripe I have on all Audi’s though. You definitely would be better off spending 56 grand on an Atlas SEL premium R-Line than this.

[@kelvinlee8193]

Volkswagen design always good 👍🏽

[@roastbeef2116]

Tldr: nothing changed apart from the headlight, as always

[@yankeesusa1]

This thing has awesome features and great safety features but when it comes to using this vehicle as a regular vehicle and for a family or long trip it's just not good. Bad design and no room for anything inside for the driver and passenger.

[@christianplath1405]

The coolest Q7 was the V12 Turbo diesel 😅

[@CarGeek360]

This thing isn’t holding a candle to BMW X5, they’re both the same price too

[@DBrealmadrid9606]

Can you please explain why it’s inferior to the X5 ? A friend of mine is cross-shopping both.

[@CarGeek360]

@@DBrealmadrid9606 idk tbh other than the fact the X5 is a lot quicker (I’m comparing the 6 cylinder versions as those sell the best), the X5 handles way better (especially with the M Sport Pkg but even without), and IMO the X5 has a sharper design, they’re both around the same price but I feel like the X5 outperforms the Q7 in nearly every way generally speaking, only somewhat “major” con to the X5 is a relatively tight rear seat but I could live with this personally, ik the Q7 is a 3-row and the X5 is a 2-row but honestly the Q7 3rd row is dysfunctional, if your friend wants the Q7, I would suggest looking at the MDX as it’s equally good to the Q7 for a lower price (and it has a functional 3rd row with more trunk space than the Q7) but if your friend wants the X5, I say by all means go for it

[@fernandontb]

All the fingerprints on the screens 😮. I bet they tried to square it off like the 2017-2019 models bc the newer ones look like cheap little suv with chevy sonic like design. And why did they turbo charge and get less mpg when the supercharger engine got 24-25mpg hwy? They've downgraded

[@davidg7987]

How does a 3 row family car have zero storage space for bits and bobs in the front cabin. It’s awful.

[@kevintillack1396]

I see a lot of rental car companies buying this vehicle

[@JRB41]

This thing is overpriced, underpowered, and unequipped! Who would buy this when you could get a Genesis GV90 or BMW X5 for much less while being more powerful, better looking, better MPG, better 0-60, and more features + better reliability. I have an Audi Q7 (2019) 3.0 Prestige, and I’m never buying another Audi again… new ones feel like overpriced VW’s

[@CarGeek360]

Yeah I agree with you, X5 is WAY better than this

[@jben212]

Looks old AF no cap

[@konstantinkennedy2244]

Embarrassing. Imagine being a salesperson, you sell a family a brand new Q7 in 2016, they come back 3 years later, you sell them 2019 (same car), three years later in 2022 they come to look if there's a new model... nope same car, third time is a charm. Two years pass, peekaboo, another refresh, still same car. Fact check. The current Audi Q7 body design came to life in 2014 (looking at the calculator, 2024-2014 = 10 years ago). First was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January of 2015. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5raZYmNhaqXgqM
