MotorWeek | Road Test: 2017 Audi Q7

[@mervinprone]

What an understated and gorgeous car this is. No one ever mentions it but Audis also smell amazing.

[@susand1177]

Yes, they do! I thought I was the only one that noticed...they smell clean and fresh!

[@chaoszombie9995]

!?

[@darylljackson1968]

You can complain about the exterior all you want! But it has better resale value, safer, and reliable! Audi are very underrated, haters going to hate!!!!

[@lucyfan1976]

Absolutely. I have owned 2 Audi's and have zero regrets. Two of my friends bought BMW's when I bought my A6 in 2016 and mine has been a gem, trouble free and no issues. They are in for repair after repair and their cars still are not good. Even one has an engine noise they can't get rid of. Don't know what it is? It's not a knock, but it makes weird noises. Nobody can diagnose it. I will buy an Audi anyway over Mercedes and BMW.

[@eggbirdtherooster]

I must say, the design is strangly growing on me.. Now I saw them in the wild also.. Impressive looking thing !

[@blackericdenice]

Damn that thing is quick.

[@davidmandell9909]

The Q7's exterior grows on you and is beautiful

[@arshchahal8291]

they dont look good at first or on tv but definitely better after personal experience

[@FLJAMESFL]

I bet that Bose sound system sounds like a disco club on wheels. Nice job Bose.

[@lucyfan1976]

It is ridiculous how good it sounds. I have a 17speaker Bose in my A6. I got a Q7 loaner for my last Maintence service and the 23 speaker or whatever it is Bose is outstanding. Imagine they even have one more step up with the B&O system. Maybe it will shatter the windows? lmao.

[@YoSneed]

Such a perfect vehicle I absolutely love my Q7

[@oneshotvidi]

Same here. I love this vehicle! My Q7 is now my side piece. Shhhhhhh don’t tell my wife! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Tjoff525]

@@oneshotvidi are they fast suvs to you?

[@TheStullaKing]

Was not a fan, but they do look better in person.

[@suzigti92]

Love the channel and show. But some mis info I wanted to share. torque is 352 @2900rpm. This new gen actually weighs 500lbs less.

[@gouldnj]

Great review, but would it kill the editors to spend a couple hundred dollars to get rid of all the weeds and trash on the test track??!!

[@MrRobertG2]

I Need The TDI!!!!!!

[@gachauni9083]

Best in its class!

[@TJC450]

Where are the retro reviews?!?!

[@chrisdooley6468]

Go to the main channel and pull up Retro Reviews under their playlists.

[@TJC450]

+Chris Dooley I am well aware on how to find them. They just haven't been uploading like they have been.

[@MordFustang1966]

Oh wow this is a nice station wagon. What model is this?

[@EDHBlvd]

If you want a real wagon, check out the Volvo V90. This Audi is a crossover Suv.

[@susand1177]

Rediscover Film - Volvo troll. Is it still 5cents per Q7 diss?

[@MordFustang1966]

no, but your vw golf based '97 audi is not going appreciate with your youtube comments 😂😂

[@paullekoduk4428]

My wife made me 2buy q7 the best car 2drive , love it thank you wife.

[@manthony225]

coddling my WHAT now?

[@hellkitty1014]

Am I the only one that liked the previous-gen better? The profile and interior(a rarity for Audi) of this Q7 just doesn't do it for me. No way in heck would I buy this over the handsome and better looking inside and out Volvo XC90, even if it's reliability hasn't been proven on it's turbo/s'chgd 2.0L I-4.

[@kevin1492]

Have you seen one in person? I found it to be far more impressive when I actually sat in one - for some reason it doesn't quite translate well on a screen (the dark color scheme doesn't do it too many favors)

[@hellkitty1014]

+Kevin DeClerk I have a few times. A neighbor just traded a 2014 TDI in for this new one in white. While it does look decent(admittedly better than the what-in-the-heck were they thinking BMW X5) w/ their 20" dark finished wheels, the dash-to-axle and stubby proportions are just off, something the old model didn't suffer. But I know tastes vary vastly in this class.

[@EDHBlvd]

Motorweek also got 26mpg overall on their T6 XC90. This Audi's 20mpg was as they described "barely acceptable". I also noted the acceleration from this supercharged V6 was barely stronger with the Volvo a half second behind to 60mph and through the quarter mile. I'd gladly take that slightly worse acceleration for the significantly better gas mileage in the Volvo. The hugely better looks of the Volvo. The amazing interior of the Volvo. The list goes on and on. This overpriced Audi is a fail. They really need to redesign this butt ugly exterior too. Looks nothing like the beautiful Audi sedans and avant wagons.

[@hellkitty1014]

+Rediscover Film Agreed on all fronts. I built an XC90 Inscription for $61k with all that I'd need just for the heck of it. The Audi with Prestige to somewhat mirror the Volvo that I built was $66K. No way.

[@Joseph1NJ]

I had two thoughts looking at the exterior: what year is this, and yawn.

[@DJEddieXZ]

Hmmm. Toureag which is about 47K base or Q7 with base package

[@susand1177]

Yeah but it doesn't have interior or the tech?

[@persikii8020]

The old Audi 2015 is almost the same price of the new Audi

[@harperwallace5633]

Although it is not the best looking car I still like the design. I do think that Volvo did a little bit better with the new xc90 though.

[@ttroygotknife]

thats fast for this 2 tob fay boy

[@chaoszombie9995]

Barely acceptable?!!?!?' I couldnt get that out of an I4 Civic..

[@blackericdenice]

Because of the need for better mpg, I would think they would use turbo over supercharger. Well Audi is a cheap German car.

[@jlcii]

Superchargers are more reliable than turbochargers, so actually not a bad idea.

[@blackericdenice]

Jo Co Turbos don't go bad like they use to. I would rather have better mpg and it's easier to turn up the boost with a turbo.

[@jdm1152]

blackericdenice so you sell fords?

[@blackericdenice]

Hermen Marshall no

[@Walter-hg2nr]

It looks so plane !!!!! It's a Van only $80 000 haha

[@Aurora_v_cali]

👍🏽

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Yucss, prefer the last one model

[@jdm1152]

Mario Torrez Quant just because you cant buy a new one?

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Hermen Marshall Don't need one buddy!!!

[@93remix]

AND 4 ONLY $300K YOU CAN BUY THE BENTAYGA... the same body, upgraded materials and engine: 500+hp

[@matthewsahr5205]

Audi's kind of look drunk in the front

[@pippipster7705]

Q8

[@pierrevidus2480]

Blogueuse à Marrakech

[@cubedmack]

Looks like a mini van.

[@esteemedenergy]

Looks like a new 4runner

[@RomanM803]

the old one looks better.

[@jdm1152]

Jaylen Bond looks better on your pocket book your u mean.

[@esteemedenergy]

Jaylen Bond old version looks far far better.

[@joshakaoger69]

supercharged ummm the back said 3.0 T

[@joshakaoger69]

bose? haha garbage

[@EDHBlvd]

Yes it is supercharged. Audi marketing. Look at their spec on their site. 3.0L Supercharged V6

[@joshakaoger69]

+Rediscover Film i could care less whats in this vw just dumb it says t on the back

[@jdm1152]

Josh B whats your point?

[@joshakaoger69]

my point is what i wrote..

[@srikalaiselvitravels2397]

Features is ok. But old model is looking good. New model is looking like as a small suv

[@RyanEmeryLovesCars]

Wish they weren't such money pits

[@jasonsmith1143]

looks like a DODGE journey

[@michaelschneider-]

.... Please, please. .. Stop qualifying Hi Fi systems by "watts". .. A playback systems wattage value is meaningless. .. Meaningless. ..

[@EDHBlvd]

So ugly compared to the rest of the Audis. The S8, S7, S4 are all amazing looking. This is ugly as sin.

[@graphguy]

Totally YOUR opinion. Indeed you are entitled to it, but lets just be clear. But on the more important part is all that technology. When electronic whizbang gadgets go out, they leave you totally out of luck and facing a huge $$$$ fixit price. For example the really cool dashboard display replacing your standard tach and speedometer. When those go out you will be blind for those two important devices.

[@jdm1152]

Rediscover Film this is why you don't get to design autos.

[@danecroft21]

With the Virtual cockpit. When the system goes down. A secondary system keeps the Speedometer and Tachometer up. If they are in the small form. They are automatically raised and made bigger as they demonstrated.

[@susand1177]

Rediscover Film is a prolific Volvo-planted troll. Ignore his obviously funded opinions :)

[@Porsche996driver]

It looks great, quicker, better handling, and a steal compared to the incredibly ugly & overpriced Infinity.

[@Leo-ok5qi]

Dave auf dem BMW y'all dreaming in germany to ever compete with infiniti and lexus and acura .

[@ducoo6212]

audi is the most overprized brand which existed in the last 20 years, completely ridiculous. only germans like their own cars but they also can´t afford them because in Europe they are shameless overprized. This Q7 goes in the highest trim easily over 100k of -euros-. btw the german brands artificially hold up the high prices of their cars supported by the criminal german government! Shame on you

[@Toyota4Life]

It's kinda ugly honestly

[@mrdydy1990]

Toyota4Life they ruined the exterior

[@burninggas7715]

20 mpg average for a updated V6 is dated

[@InvestBetter.]

Still ugly enough, but not as bad as the previous Q7. Won't threaten vehicles like older the Mercedes GLS or the Cadillac Escalade

[@jdm1152]

Nissan TitanWarrior The Q7 is less of a dollar sign driving around. This is luxurious while being less pretentious, unless pretentious is what you're u are going for.

[@Techjunkiero]

Looks more like a minivan. Truly awful. First generation still a looker and looks more modern compared to this.

[@mrdydy1990]

Please audi redesign the exterior it looks fckn ugly

[@grabir01]

One of the few cars less reliable than Mercedes or BMW.

[@EDHBlvd]

Haha 👍

[@grabir01]

ya ya

[@landononeal8493]

actually the consumer reports says that the q7 is the most reliable car in its class

[@grabir01]

lol !!

[@samsonokoro5036]

Landon O'neal more reliable than the Lexus Lx 570? I sincerely doubt that unless they don't put them in the same category

[@jonesjonz1]

Simply ugly & don't try to gizmo me out of that fact.

[@EDHBlvd]

Yup. Crazy ugly compared to the rest of Audi's line.

[@shepleonard8695]

I can't stand watching these videos simply because of the way he talks and his cadence. He's like a bad Minor League Baseball announcer.

[@samsonokoro5036]

would never take this to the Lexus 570, Range Rover Sport or full sized Range Rover, I'll even take.the Mercedes-Benz Gls to this as well. The exterior is ugly and the interior excluding the screens in the car looks bland and doesn't ooze luxury in my opinion.

[@susand1177]

Samson Okoro -Bland interior? Are you a comedian by trade? Clearly not seen one in person, let alone sat inside :)

[@FinestInstinct]

Samson Okoro You need an eye exam or a cat scan, if you don't think the Q7 is luxurious. Its pure luxury and practicality on wheels.

[@ducoo6212]

says the African, nice job

[@billthestinker]

Fancy VW
