Is the 2025 Audi Q7 55 Prestige a BETTER luxury sport SUV than a Acura MDX Type S?

[@BocaAtractivo82]

I've had a 2017 Exclusive edition.Only option missing was B&O. Cons:No spare tire (if you are a victim of punctures like me, not a good choice of vehicle), at the mercy of dealership for costly alignments if you have air suspension & 4wheel steering, consumes tires fast (not as fast as the 1st gen),engine mounts that need to be replaced with 034Motorsport - so no more leaks Pros: Absolutely beautiful,comfortable as as daily. If you are budget concious, get yourself a CPO -if noAudicare and warranty, do as much DIYs for the maintenance to save you money. If money is no object, this is worth every penny whether you choose a new or used one.

[@CAPDORI]

Audi Pros: It doesn't look like an old car even after a while. Audi Cons: Even if you buy a new car, it doesn't look like a new car.

[@issacdow4035]

Audi is my favorite. This new Q7 is beautiful. And that color is real smooth. Thanks for bringing us this one, Joe.

[@KHD1982]

I had 2017, kept it for 4 years Zero issues Had fun, no regrets I'm thinking of a new one, but they'll redesign it 2027

[@bran_lamar]

I took my 2019 Q7 in that same area that you did the review on the 2019 one from Wesley Chapel. All I could think of was “on throttle” 😂keep the great reviews coming 🙌🏾

[@stevenm1054]

Why don’t you answer the questions that you ask in the titles of your videos? You’re the one who drives them and I am sure your subscribers would love to know your conclusion.

[@Eeee-z8y]

I really believe Mr Raiti was trying to give us homework,got damn it.😅😅😅😅

[@re14437]

He kinda does when you listen between the lines. Plus the question is designed to get our opinions after watching the video. I was put off at first, but now I totally get what he’s doing!

[@Snk13_ty]

The answer to that question is so subjective. You should also be doing your own research if you plan on buying a new vehicle.

[@_Nickstein]

Also if he trashed every brand for something that he didn’t like about it, I don’t think any manufacturers would have him back. His videos are meant for you to make your own decision to the question, not answer it for you.

[@yourdad-k5h]

Because it’s up to us to decide. While yes he’s the one reviewing them. We still have to choose what car we’d like more before approaching one of them at their dealers.

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

Yes Raiti that is probably the quietest interior I ever heard you in. I didn't even hear outside noise at all wow

[@omarcortes5754]

A third row in a vehicle this size is just absurd but ignoring that, this Q7 is a great suv.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Sure! The Buick Envista is a great choice if you're looking for a stylish design, cool tech features like a touchscreen display, advanced safety options, and a comfy interior. It has a sleek exterior with modern lines and a spacious interior that offers a premium feel. The tech features include a large touchscreen display, smartphone integration, and various driver assistance systems to enhance safety.

[@Irishmanbikes]

Hey Joe and Lori, have fun at SEMA tomorrow through Saturday. If you see Jeff Teague from ToyotaJeff say hi for me.

[@ElJefe360]

It's time for Audi to step it up a notch and have a 400 HP+ engine for the Audi Q7. Beautiful car though!!

[@twfinc6855]

ya its a bit gutless.. my lexus rx500h is quicker by a bit after comparing them.. but its not all about speed

[@Saiyan_Prince317]

Get the SQ7

[@Splendid_Lad]

Still a good SUV even if it’s on the older side. Keep up the awesome reviews.

[@Mavericq84]

What are the two bulging pieces on the front grill 🤔

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

Are there any mid-tier sporty 23-25 model year vehicles that *lack* gloss black interior trim? It's insane how all the manufacturers pile onto a design theme and beat it to death.

[@shamako4ever718]

Alright Joe let’s see what this Audi will do for us!

[@osemuohan-smarties5203]

Audi is onto American luxury!

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

So the Business Men drive from Philadelphia Center City back up to Montgomery County by way of 76 to 476....needless to say I've seen 3 times while raining super duper hard Audis come speeding by and switching lanes with absolute stability. While we were struggling that Audi AWD suspension had those guys slicing rain like butter

[@casey10614]

I own one, the gloss black is awesome! same in Porsche. I'm sure all the negative ppl would pefer plastic. It takes two seconds to wipe to a beautiful finish with a microfiber cloth.

[@Car_conversati0nz]

Been waiting for this one! Those headlights are so cool!

[@tonymanno2132]

88 GRAND! .. I’ll take a 2025 ford explorer ST and save 28k 🤷🏻‍♂️ 9:58 the face I would make for that price

[@KHD1982]

Audi badge costs 28k 😂 Plus, no one will respect you while you are in Explorer 😁 There's a difference between lauxry and normal mini bus Audi fun to drive and you'll enjoy it but Expolorer more reliability

[@SauloMogi]

What is the explanation from manufactures with all this black piano everywhere? less expensive material?

[@tebec3624]

I always learn something new! I had no idea about the 4 rings symbol! Glad to see that 3rd row and trunk are much too small. Great thorough review!

[@rl6210]

I had a 4.2 V8 q7….in the shop all the time!

[@docclovve447]

[@davari02gaming72]

Does it have remote start with the smart sense climate control? I got my wife the 2024 MDX with this and its a game changer!!!

[@vindevhunta4905]

Still good looking

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[@ArthurBenetton]

Whats crazy is, this car came out in 2017. Doing a quick scan on Autotrader, clean 2017's are comfortably under $20k, with some even going below $15k. This $88k example is essentially the same car. "With that said" this one in the video is cool, and brown is a great choice on any German car. I think actually with this many facelifts, the details are getting a little overdone (interesting looking back to the 2017's, they got it right the first time) - but still a cool spec nonetheless.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Yes of course Joe & I'm consider buying this.

[@MarcusTurner-b5p]

Nice video keep up the great work Joe

[@eerwig]

Joe how did you not address those odd cubes flanking the Audi badge? WTH are those

[@edwardvalivonis23]

Joe is a type of a guy to leave Chuck Norris at the red light

[@Brazo07]

what are those two seemingly sensors on the front facia on both sides of the 4 rings ??

[@storas8899]

[@okeefe1963]

Does the pano sunroof open.....just asking for a friend 🤔

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Yes of course Joe and I'm really like this SUV.

[@trebronlibrand]

I like this SUV but I don't like the front grill...

[@michaelmosquera]

"3rd row in case a random kid shows up" 😄😄😄🤣🤣

[@anthonyvigneault3389]

i love audi quattro awd system

[@67judge]

The gloss black is annoying with finger prints but it does come with a cleaning cloth 😅. My pet pev is just l don’t like any bright trim on any interior on any car.

[@SpringfieldTony]

root beer? I thought it was piano gloss black - hahaha LOL oh wait - that's the interior. good one JOE RAITI 10 stars

[@twfinc6855]

drove one recently, ummm.. sorry not comparible to a mdx.. at all......... it was the tightest, quietest SUV I have ever driven.. to say I was impressed was an understatement.. very very refined vehicle.

[@konstantinkennedy2244]

Don't be fooled, this model came out in 2015. Was introduced in the US at Detroit auto show in January of 2015 exactly. 10 years of changing grills, great job Audi, grill innovating company

[@javy.airlines]

That’s A Very Nice Luxurious Vehicle👍🏻👌🏻🏁🚙💨!!!

[@hacob2004]

I had a 2017 Q7 with the supercharged 3.0 and I thought it was a much better engine than the turbo.

[@KHD1982]

I think it's the same engine, but 2017 was super + turbo

[@hacob2004]

@ no they were supercharged only until 2020 they went turbo

[@theaerolife]

Is this the 2012 model, or 2015 or 2018 or 2020 or 2024 or 2025? If you know what i mean

[@sunnylamine]

Yes. Case closed.

[@jeffs6090]

My zonks are no ventilated rear seats and no digital rear view mirror. I would definitely still pick a GV80 over this.

[@pauladam8918]

I used to love Audis now they all look exactly the same and after seeing the 2025 VW Tiguan the interior looks 10 years old.

[@philliplee5822]

Q7 is comparable to an X7, give it its proper stance. They are virtually the same dimensions

[@davidp2888]

$88K. Wow.

[@jvr5018]

$88,000. Plus tax license, etc. Drive it off the lot you might get 78,000 from some other fish wait a year and you can buy it for 48,000 with about 12,000 miles on it

[@dusandestanovic5884]

It's really satisfying.

Good historical information about the Audi badging representing a German automotive workers union unification. A little automotive historical information is nice to have.

Viva the Audi Q7! You know that you have made it in life when you have the Apostle to the three row SUVs

The Q7??.. ..most definitely NOT.

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@danieln2448 You know what? I am just saying that!

[@LuisUrbieta]

@@joestuff8 well, yes I think that this is a dandy of an SUV yes it's not perfect but for the money you cannot beat it. Now I wish the back had some more soft padding on the area and more amenities for the third row because you're just there to suffer.

[@100PROOF-G]

Hyperbolic, but I get it

[@jeremieolo558]

I’ve never seen this guy review an Audi in my life 😂😂

[@paul0310j]

Hey Joe, regarding the central storage area, besides the amusing food anecdotes why don't you incorporate the 'Arm' test, here's how deep my arm goes, just a thought dunno😊, watching from the UK.

[@JonathanChow180]

I thought the Audi Q8 was the longest!

[@landsealifestyle3403]

I love the look but MDX type S is better!!!

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

No self driving features?

[@davonne225]

Oh wow, no fake vents up front and no fake exhaust, thank you Audi

[@islanddon865]

As long as you lease it, only then do l see it as a winner. But a costly winner. But l would NEVER buy it out at lease conclusion.

[@KHD1982]

Still, there is no ac in the third row 😢

I remember these cars being #1 consumer reports Is this till the case ?

[@mattdude]

That interior is unacceptable. My parents’ 22 Santa Fe looks more luxurious. Also that infotainment screen is very out of style.

[@gullrock14]

That's $10K more than the Acura. And, it will not cost you a ton of depreciation and maintenance!

[@chrisr5364]

You get a zonk too, they are reliable

[@samzsong4652]

So the interior hasn't changed much. We have the 2021. Drives great but the lack of storage is annoying. Even the cupholders are tiny. No storage, not even in the middle console. For a 7 seater, it makes no sense whatsoever.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing that ownership experience!

[@brentengstrom5406]

Too much $$$ for a 3.0 V6. If you have the money, go for it.

[@Camry23]

Keep zonking! LOL.

[@mikeadams1287]

Always liked audi Joe. Not sexy enough for me. The pretty girls at the dance are the corvettes , mustangs, and camaros 😊

[@cscorona1]

These things have gotten entirely too expensive. Still driving my prestige 2018 that I bought new for $65k.

[@brooklynknightss]

THIS IS WAY OVER DUE FOR A NEW DESIGN ALONG WITH THE A8 !!!

[@TheCJUN]

Why are all Audis so small?

[@SK-so5nj]

So sad that the problem is so bad that instead of solving it they give a big F u by give a cleaning cloth for a near $100K vehicle.

[@vegetassb2944]

Audi peaked in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Their design is so bland nowadays. The interior is horrific, with its triple-touchscreen set up, and glossy black plastics all throughout. The exterior design is uninspired and stale. Audi's were better looking with their waterfall grills than the current hexagonal mess.

[@DriveFastDriveHard]

Lease only. After 3-5 years it will have a boatload of problems

[@danealexandertrusk8079]

2025 Audi Q7 is a luxury peice of shit that keeps breaking down, Turbo out at 9k miles, dealership does not know how fix it, has the car for 3 months, stay away from this garbage folks, go Lexus or Acura, or even Genesis

[@casey10614]

you got the 2.0 or 3.0. The 3.0 is good mine has 40k and is flawless. lexus has more problems with their turbos. sorry you got a bad one.
