Really liked how you explained everything, I just thought it was a pity you didn't show the boot properly, that is one of my main reasons I'm looking for a SUV, wish I could've had a better look of the space.

[@BoxBoxBoxGaming]

another fantastic video. you guys are really nailing the basics which makes every video a joy to watch.

Great choice of Long Term Test Car. Looks nice In White and the Interior looks smart

An Audi Q7 without 7 seats seems like an odd choice

[@faranahmad]

For filming they need a larger boot to film and hold stuff!

[@warreng5257]

@@faranahmad I understand why they said they needed it in the video, even though I think an A6 estate would do the job, but that's their choice... My point was more about Audi making this car without a 7 seater option, just seems like an odd decision. Does that mean future all electric Q7s won't have 7 seats? Audi should have made a better effort here, I'm sure if they wanted to they could have integrated 7 seats. There's smaller all electric cars with 7 seats on the market today.

[@nhlanhlajustin3102]

Also happens with the Q5

[@OllieTT]

Previous generation A1 does too, but the A1 has tail lights underneath the boot lid, on the Q7 they're underneath, on the rear bumper. Regulations require lights to be visible even with the boot open to your car doesn't get smashed into when you're unloading something at the side of the road at night.

[@blazzz13]

Is it just me, or does it look really small. For a second I thought it was the new Q5 lol

[@geokon7192]

I have a 50tdi sline and i agree it can look small. Put it next to a ranger rover( which my sister has) and it looks sport car in comparison. Side by side if i look out my side window I’m looking at at the door handles of the Range Rover, have to look up to see the passanger. And following it in another car looks like a wagon. It’s definitely doesn’t have the jacked up, big wheels arch gaps that all the other suv have. Which I love. In dynamic mode it almost looks to low.

[@blazzz13]

@@geokon7192 Thanks for that input. Maybe Audi have made it smaller because of the Q8.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I have just maintained my 2015, because my generation just feels more imposing and the ground clearance is sooo much better. I kept wsnting a new one but to get the same ground clearance I'd need to spec it with the air suspension... not really into that. I also think its not as pretty as my 2015. Yes i know its 6 years old but ive had it for 5 of those and I also have been working on audis and bmws my whole life with my father, so I do alot of maintenance myself and have him double check the work as he's certified. Grest vehicles just not sure about the new ones looks or ride height , or worse gas mileage? Im in the states btw.

Sure we will see situations arise soon where people fill up the petrol tank on a plug in hybrid and use it in EV mode so much that a year or so later that same tank of fuel has degraded and makes the car run like junk?

[@maereanm]

The air would be much cleaner in the city if all cars traveled in electric mode. Air pollution kills an estimated 7.000.000 people worldwide every year. WHO World Health Organisation data shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits containing high levels of pollutants www.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution People that can afford a PHEV and can recharge it every time, should buy a PHEV. For the full 2020 year, my Volkswagen Passat GTE Variant PHEV traveled 98% of the city distance in electric mode (4919 electric km from the total 5037 city km). The car had to use petrol in the city in only 3 days in the entire year. The city fuel consumption in 2020 was 0.17 L / 100 km (1,660 mpg UK). That's 4 grams of CO2 per every city kilometer. For the entire distance traveled in 2020, the fuel consumption was 4.6 L / 100 km (61 mpg UK). That's a great value for a big 218 hp petrol car that's always with 4 people in it and the trunk is full of luggage on holidays. www.auto-data.net/en/compare?carId1=27982&carId2=38220&carId3=
