The 2025 Audi Q7 Gets Some Big Changes! But Is It the BEST Luxury Family SUV?

[@davidballantyne762]

We have a 2021 Q7 with the V6. Its been a terrific vehicle for us and I can attest to the towing - we tow our boat to the lake from the city a couple times a year. Two negatives we have noted is the extreme lack of storage space for front row passengers - no place to even set your phone down; and, the adaptive cruise is too quick to slow the car down when entering different speed zones (super annoying and possibly dangerous in traffic). Otherwise the ride and driving experience are top notch. It looks like the changes for 24 are very minimal based on the video, so I would find one a couple years old on the used market and be super happy with it.

[@DJ_Underwood]

I always remember my driving experience with Audi, it was a perfect balance of the sports of BMW and the luxury of Mercedes, seems to still be that way, thanks Roman!

[@Oaky]

Love my 2020 Q7 - great power, perfect size to still city drive, crazy quiet. It's about perfect to be honest, strong towing. Another great features is the seats fold 100% flat on both rows! It's massive back there with them down

[@Oaky]

You can fully turn off the lane keep on the steering wheel stock, press in

[@petewick8627]

Agreed

[@viccao8431]

I love that the seats fold fully flat, makes it great for car camping in my situation. I was surprised on how many cars don’t have this festure

[@oakcor]

We have a 2017 Audi Q7 which has been a good vehicle. Interestingly, we got a 2023 loaner Q7 from the dealer while our car was getting serviced, and my wife started feeling car sick using the infotainment system. She have to look down too far to use the newer designed screens. Also, newer turbo V6 does not deliver power as smoothly as the older supercharged engine. Lesson for us is to make sure we both do a thorough test drive of any new vehicle fore buying.

[@DonnieBullterrier]

The older one was diesel or petrol?

[@dwilson2126]

I have the 2017 as well. Very smooth and powerful supercharged v6. 👊🏽

[@dimamal]

I agree with the power delivery being better with the supercharged engine than the turbo. Just replaced my 2018 Q7 with the 25 and the difference in the sport mode is noticeable.

[@fourthburrito4579]

You get used to using the AC control screen without looking. You can slide your finger up and down to adjust temp rather than tapping. You can do gestures alike pinching to sync the zones.

[@Performance_Motorsports]

Mr. Roman Great Audi review. Congrats for Tommy & his new bride!! Your family and TFL team are so great at time management. Congrats to you all!!!

[@guharajdeep]

I have a 23 and I can see that NOTHING has changed. I am happy with my 23.

[@metalgear1288]

Didn't realize that Q7 standard motor is the same one as GTI's 2.0 turbo. That is one heavy car to use a 2.0 turbo.

[@_IMNNO]

Yup it’s the EA888. It’s fine for the Q5, but in the Q7 - that’s a stretch.

[@krazyfan2000]

I have the 2018 3.0 Twin turbo V6 and I love it.

[@117775EM]

Roman I have always appreciated the reviews from TFL and in particular you and your son. I have a 2019 Audi Q7 3.0T with the supercharged V6 and I absolutely love the vehicle. I entertained the idea of purchasing a new one but mine is still in mint condition, smooth as butter and tight as a drum with only 57k miles. Every time I take it to the dealer for routine oil changes the sales associates remark that it looks showroom new and offer to put me in a 2025. Hard to believe that after nearly 6 years of ownership I still love driving my Q7. Only my 2003 allroad comes close. I find it ironic when reviewers say that the Q7 is dated. Well, it isn't. It has simply aged well.

[@rogerstaum9180]

That's a slick car. Always liked Audi plus you gave nice review of the q7. I'm going looking for 1.

[@Roll-With-It-7]

Awesome Video! that Audi is sweet,I really like the color combo and the overall stance of the car, just visited that part of Utah and the lake is beautiful, Utah is such a cool state a lot different than Oregon.

[@raywest3402]

Nice 2025 Q7 review Roman. You had the road around that lake all to yourself. Unlike here in Cali where there’s automobiles everywhere, someone going too slow or someone on your tail. Would love to carve a twisty road all to myself. Looking forward to your Volvo XC90 review.

[@richardespelundh5505]

In 4-6 weeks I will get my brand new Audi Q7 Tfsie. Plug-in hybrid and V6 engine with a total of 490hp. Today the car is produced in the factory!

[@notsecure]

If it's a luxury vehicle, please test out luxury features such as navigation or driving assistance, etc.

[@Phocoena-o1y]

Thanks for the review. I'd love to see a review of the 4 cylinder steel suspension version too. There are a lot of reviews of the 55 Prestige.

[@99unclebob]

Nice review Roman,Audi has always done a premium job on their upper models like the Q7 or the A8, BMW makes many claims and their execution still doesn't hold a candle to a luxurious Audi and mechanically the Audi is a better vehicle and needs fewer parts replacement in the first 80k miles and parts are more widely available for the Audi group of automobiles,$88k is a fair price for it also 👍

[@Thetimingwizard]

They really need to change grandpa wagon looking style. It makes it looks like VAN not an SUV

[@BocaAtractivo82]

I miss my 17 4m supercharged stage 1 APR Q7 Exclusive Edition (had everything except the B&O)-I loved everything about it!-Especially the sepang blue paint color which is rare. What I don't miss is the eye watering cost on tires,anxiety of no spare tire (not even a donut size),alignments (due to air suspension and rear wheel steering),expensive large windshield replacements(where I reside, rock chips and cracks are a norm that aren't covered by insurance) recalibration cost when radar sensors are "somehow" misaligned.When I choose another Q7, it'll be w/o air suspension,20 size wheels and no HUD - basically less extra electronic features for less electrical gremlins and easy on the wallet

[@Kerleem]

SURELY they could have found a better way to hide the radar sensors in the front. Really takes away from the look

[@viccao8431]

You should look at the s63 and m4. At least these are symmetrical

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your car video

[@JRB41]

2017-2019 Q7 was better. More reliable, physical buttons, better looking, and much cheaper!

[@jonascampelo871]

I remember loving this cars and saying that big luxury SUV's would be the future of the car industry... Well, SUV's are the car industry, but luxury cars are expensive, heavy and they drink too much gas oil energy, its a no for me. Long days from my first generation X5 manual diesel, amazing car.

[@douglaswilson3978]

Looks like my edge..❤

[@PhoenixCR77564]

Great review, but man that 3rd row looks so cramped. 😬

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

Kids only.

[@PhoenixCR77564]

@@ronaldlamascus1944 Yeah agreed

[@polsok44]

Videos should be in 4K

[@waychillbro]

Personally, I couldn't care less about soft close doors. A heavy, solid, thud says luxury to me

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

Love the soft close doors! So much easier for older folks to just pull the door close and let it finish closing itself than trying to pull a heavy door shut especially on inclines.

[@fourthburrito4579]

You can still close the door with a solid thud. The soft close is only if you don’t larch it all the way. I honestly think it’s more luxurious to let the soft close do its thing. 😅

[@liangzhang8706]

88K? Hmm, I don’t know, man. You could get a nicely optioned Cayenne for 10 grand more. And it’s a better car overall IMO

[@fourthburrito4579]

Porsche nickles and dimes you so hard that I highly doubt it would be nicely optioned at $100k. Would definitely not have all the features the Q7 has.

[@agzman71]

88k and no cool seats in the second row.

[@Watermeloncat-h]

First or not first idk

[@lbagg8750]

The rear windows have a terrible haze to them when the sun hits them. Very annoying and disappointing.

[@pjpankratz8829]

man the grill looks unfinished.

[@marc31415]

jeez how much is that?

[@zachlafond2652]

as tested it was around 88k

[@NWODriver]

Don't forget the Q7, porsche cayenne, is also the Laborgini Urus! And VW atlas.

[@stephenj280]

Atlas isn't the MLBevo platform like the others. Also the Bentayga...

[@viccao8431]

You clearly know nothing about the atlas

[@dipren443]

Atlas is mqb, shared with golf and Jetta among others. Touareg is on the same platform as the q7, cayenne, etc. but we don’t get the latest Touareg in the states any longer.

[@liangzhang8706]

You meant VW Touareg, right?

[@ilord112]

What happened to you? R u ok??

[@mervinprone]

Way overdue for a redesign. This is outdated.

[@stevekniess3665]

Its a snaggletooth,the teeth in the grill im not a fan

[@edwined82]

GM everyone

[@drnick40]

Nice SUV. Questionable long term reliability though. Lease, don’t buy!

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

Nope. Our 2013 owned since new has only had one repair other than routine yearly maintenance and our 2021 Q7 has had none! Bulletproof vehicles!

[@jeffhaddox2239]

I say all the beige cars are the color of late 70’ prosthetic legs 🦵 just ugly.

[@Thankyou_3]

Audi is a brand that you should strictly lease for 24 months and dump it on the 25th month. Don’t even think about buying an Audi, it is a disastrous decision. The engine will literally bleed oil and blow up once you get comfortable with the thought of owning them 😂

[@fourthburrito4579]

Owned my previous one for 4 years. Zero issues. Currently have a 4 year old Q7 with zero issues. Plan to keep it another 6 years.

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

Rubbish! Our 2013 A8L bought new is still going strong and our 2021 Q7 is an excellent vehicle.

[@ArinsaChamp]

Some of the ugliest interior IV seen and exterior isn't that much better make an SUV and SUV not a large crossover

[@mrtechstawk]

Wait for like two three years and buy this at 50 % - 60 % depreciated price values (if it survives till then )

[@johnfitzgerald1879]

Like 90% of all car MFGS, no new facts.

[@viccao8431]

Some people can afford new and just want a brand new car specced exactly to their liking

[@ronaldlamascus1944]

It will be running quite well for many years!

[@fourthburrito4579]

Bought mine with a sticker of $89k, three years old with 20k miles for $55k. Definitely the way to do it.
