New 2021 Audi SQ7 - Best large SUV on the market?

[@lovecarsTV]

If this isn’t the best SUV in class, let us know what you think is in the comments.

[@protestagain]

Best SUV in class might be the BMW Alpina XD3. At least it is the fastest.

[@lovecarsTV]

Koi Captain very cool! Keep them coming 😛👍

[@gnisselmabambe587]

I think you should also look at the x5m50d...that's a direct rival

Wonderful vehicle. When I was in sales these sold like crazy and people were mind blown by the quality. Lots of BMW and Mercedes SUV trade-ins for them. People whine about "track performance" not considering one of these will NEVER be taken on a track. What they do best is what they always have, comfortable traveling. Just now, with more power. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Not reinventing the wheel, just reinventing how fast they spin!

[@carholic-sz3qv]

dont forget the towing with diesel , its awesome

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you guys

Fair enough. Each to their own, but we loved the SQ7 👍

this car has the most ridiculous torque/ hp curve on the entire planet !

[@lovecarsTV]

Absolutely!!

[@adr0110]

Great vid, it does look like some undercover cop car with all that radar gubbins on the grill!!

[@lovecarsTV]

Ha! Never noticed that until you said!! And thank you very much for the kind words

[@ipune]

USA is getting the 4.0 TFSI V8 engine, 500 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. Can't wait to see a review of that.

[@florianzimmer1276]

In germany we got the tdi and tfsi

[@MB-vd5dn]

Clean, informative & Fantastic review! SQ7 all the way plus I love diesel power/torque. Keep it up!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much for the kind words!

[@benny9r]

That's my dream family "car" right there, looks fantastic and that interior looks a very nice place to be.

[@lovecarsTV]

Agree

[@joshbacon8241]

Why isn’t the SQ7 offered with carbon ceramic brakes in the UK like it is in other markets, and why is it no longer offered with active roll stabilisation when it’s available on the SQ8?

[@marcnobel3938]

This car makes sense. It looks good, performance great and is good to daily. - I still would prefer something with a grumbly V8. Not for the logic, more for the senses. - Cool Video! I really liked the style of review. Lovecars quality!

[@ilcesiljanoski743]

I love audi 😍🔥

[@lovecarsTV]

Us too!

[@Sothisismidlife]

I agree I’ve got a 2017 model and it’s fantastic. Large powerful and gets lots of looks. If you want a practice fast suv that’s economical to run. There’s nothing that can touch it.

[@vp5]

Did you look at getting it remapped? Just stage 1... 50bhp and 100nm gains?

[@adamkhan5274]

The irony of watching videos of a car you just bought and have parked outside, but cant use for the timebeing due to social isolation

[@catlee8064]

Its an 85l tank....i should bloody hope you can get to geneva on it!!

[@hedleypollard1189]

Any reason why you didn't test drive the Matador Red SQ7 Vorsprung

[@Petrolheadish]

Fun fact: the Rapid Response Team of the local police in Antwerp, Belgium uses multiple Audi SQ7's (if interested: /watch?v=0D6vSFdIKAY). I see why now: fast, practical and economical!

[@lovecarsTV]

Haha good to know if we are ever in the area!

[@andrewdougan8632]

Great review! That's all the car anyone could ever need and probably a little more. I'd still have the A6 Avant though!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much! And nice choose 😉

[@RomainSandt]

New front... ok not better, not worst, new back ? Well they wanted to say it's new. New Tech awesome I guess. New Dash? Awful why all this back panel and touch screens? I'm sad the Q7 went that way like Q8, A6-7-8 and so on. At lest the new A3 keeps dials and buttons.

[@nhlanhlajustin3102]

Audi fanboy =-)

[@lovecarsTV]

Yup! Fanboy of any great cars tbh 😉👍

[@dcrilley9624]

I find the most extraordinary feature about this car, which I am seeking to buy used , is that no one,just no one , has bought it with the dynamic driving package which gives the rear sport diff, rear wheel steer, and active anti roll. Of 78 used on the website not a single vehicle is equipped with the package.Conversely, all review cars have it. Has anyone driven and loved thesq7 without these seemingly very helpful driving aids ? Does it stay flat through the bends still or wobble about ?

[@lapamful]

EVs pollute even more than diesel engines. The truth is coming out, slowly, but what is acceptable opinion in the UK today vs what is truth is sadly getting ever further apart... Big interests and big money rule. ...and I absolutely love this car btw, especially with diesel. Torque monster!

[@johnwighton]

Good review, thanks. We all decide to spend our money differently, so to me £96k on a car sounds a lot. I compromised, my Q7 has 406hp, 990Nm of torque, does between 25 and 35 mpg. At the moment it all works and is covered by a Gold standard warranty. And the price? £11k. Happy days, l get 95% of the SQ7 for a little over 10% of the price. l don’t have massage seats, but l do have an aeroplane in the hangar.

[@Muler3627]

I own a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid Coupe (yep, ridiculously long name!), and whilst I do love it.. I can’t deny this SQ7 seems a relative bargain in comparison!

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

Just what we need to get through these coronavirus infested times.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you for the kind words

[@B1GS1]

This car doesn’t have active suspension - Audi UK have decided not to offer this option in the UK You’ll need to get an RSQ8 to be able to spec this.

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, but you might spend some time cleaning those screens, as most people complain how filthy the get.

[@thundersong3172]

I live just down the road from there!! always said if I had a car like that, that would be the first place i'd take it!!

[@highlandmalt6368]

I'm picking up a new one this week. I agree with your video - I looked around, but very hard to find a better all rounder for the price - and due to a surplus of new stock at the moment, mine's coming with £10k off the price - around £66,500. Makes the regular 3.0L Q7 look rather expensive!!

[@lovecarsTV]

Good choice! Brilliant car

[@RATTLER238]

Yeah blah blah! But does it go off-road?? 🤔 #RangeRover

[@scottsparky1]

I wish they would give you the option to lose the 3row seats and have a bigger boot

[@madant7777]

Touch sensitive controls are pretty bad.

[@NZsarge1]

For their niche in the market I think they’re fantastic but they must have the black pack, all wheel steering, the performance diff and the active roll stabilization. I’d have mine in Navarra blue with heated/cooled/massage seats and soft close doors 😁

[@lovecarsTV]

Nice spec!

[@dane458]

Would rather have an X5 M50d all day, everyday.

[@lovecarsTV]

Great car too

[@floflorian6085]

You know it's spelled "its rivals" right ? :)

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you. Now updated! 👍

[@Rogimsilva]

x5 m50d or Sq7 in the handling context ??

[@blairhenderson1476]

Another outstanding video, well done guys 👍

[@allothernamesbutthis]

has there been an increase in accidents from ultra bright led and laser lights? new mercedes seem way to bright to be legal.

[@lovecarsTV]

The matrix style lights dip so quickly now and just surround cars you’re following or oncoming with light

[@Pavel71442]

Great car, best in its class! I want one !

[@lovecarsTV]

What colour would you have? 😎👍

[@Pavel71442]

@@lovecarsTV All colors are good, but dark gray is better ! Made perfectly, the appearance is beautiful, the dynamic qualities are excellent, cozy and unmatched !

[@astonikadel]

Dont quite fancy SUV

[@harryc266]

Surely the 7 seat BMW X5 m50d is the only rival?

[@lovecarsTV]

We haven’t tested that one actually.

[@averagebro413]

Well best one is gls if u ask me

[@owentreadgold8658]

I know two people who had the previous generation SQ7s and neither of them got over 30mpg without being on a motorway cruising

[@lovecarsTV]

On a motorway cruising you can get 40mpg easily. Took the blue one in the video to Germany in October... lots of motorway (up to 140mph) and city driving and averaged 33mpg.

[@owentreadgold8658]

Lovecars let’s just say they aren’t exactly the most careful with how much fuel they use, pretty much had it in dynamic 24/7

[@BHBeckenbauer]

Now about the X5 M50d? Diesel, similar performance, 7 seats, same price

[@lovecarsTV]

That's a perfect head to head

[@irfanahmad5303]

Yeah looks nice but x5 very compact for luxury suv , less space for passengers , on driver can have fun

[@praddzzz]

Never thought about this car. Wow.

[@lovecarsTV]

It really ticks every box!

[@Ashen4g]

Waiting for an all new ranger rover sport

[@lovecarsTV]

Yes should be impressive

[@bojanpislevski3685]

wasn't the old one a v12 diesel?

[@torod213]

Uh, no the 1st gen car was a V12. But that wasn't an SQ7, it was just called the Q7 V12 TDI. But that was as thirsty as a similarly powered petrol SUV, so didn't really make much sense.

[@tigertanks1154]

I own one, love it every time I drive it

[@lovecarsTV]

Lucky! Think it's such an amazing car!

[@The_Orgazoid]

Its rivals, not “it is rivals”. Makes no sense!

[@chloesimmons2360]

Christopher Madam it means other car that are competing against it in that category

[@lovecarsTV]

You’re absolutely right. Thanks 🙏

[@robertl2856]

Great item thanks

[@lovecarsTV]

[@protestagain]

What about VW Touareg, same, same, but different, and cheaper, especially with the Abt 500 Hp tuningpack

[@lovecarsTV]

Good call. Not quite the same luxury inside though 👍

[@protestagain]

@@lovecarsTV In Sweden, you can save € 40.000 if you choose VW Touareg.

[@NZsarge1]

Yeah true but I’ve noticed in our market at least the SQ7 is generally holding its money better than the Touareg R Line, both are nice vehicles but the Audi is demonstrably nicer quality inside but it should be too naturally.

[@lovecarsTV]

NZsarge1 the Touareg isn’t on the same league in terms of quality or performance (fastest in the range is a 3.0 V6, and does 0-62 in 5.9 seconds)

[@NZsarge1]

Lovecars True but protestagain was talking about tuning it via ABT

[@cvtataryn]

What's a Newton Meter? Try ft/Lbs. It's not about metric/Imperial. It's about Benchmarking.
