2007 Audi Q7 Full Review

2007 Audi Q7 Review
Audi's first SUV is loosely based on the Touareg from parent-company Volkswagen. Q7 differs from the VW in styling, equipment, and price. It's also larger and seats up to seven vs. Touareg's five. Q7 comes as the 3.6 model with a 280-hp V6 and as the 4.2 with a 350-hp V8. Both have a 6-speed automatic transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. ABS and traction/antiskid control with rollover sensors are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags for all seating rows. Second-row side airbags are optional, as are 20-inch tires and a driver-adjustable suspension with height control. Q7s come with Audi's MMI (Multi Media Interface). It uses a dashboard screen and a console knob and switches to set audio, navigation, suspension, and many other functions. Among available features are a voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera, rear obstacle detection, keyless entry and starting, and a three-panel sunroof. Also available is Audi's Side Assist sensor system that uses flashing lights in the side mirrors to warn of vehicles in blind spots.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Typically based on mainstream Large SUVs, Premium Large SUVs are super-sized luxury liners. All are powerful, pricey, and extremely thirsty at the pump.
Our Best Buy is the Cadillac Escalade. Our Recommended picks are the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class.

News
Q7 should see no major design changes for a while yet, but Audi has confirmed an available diesel V6 for the second half of calendar 2008. Audi isn't talking power and torque yet, but expects the new 3.0-liter turbocharged "oil burner" V6 will cost $3000-$4000 extra.
Audi says it's working on a gasoline/electric Q7, even though it's not enthusiastic about hybrid power. In light of that, we wouldn't expect this Q7 option to materialize for another three or four years.
But Audi is very enthusiastic about the Q5, a smaller SUV reportedly due in the U.S. for 2009. Said to use components from Audi's next-generation A4 and A6 passenger cars, the Q5 should offer a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 and an optional 4.2 V8, though a base 2.0 turbocharged four is possible. Transmission choices are less clear, but could involve a CVT with seven fixed "speeds," a conventional automatic, a 6-speed manual, or the company's S-Tronic automated 6-speed manual. Q5 will target the BMW X3 and Mercedes' upcoming GLK-class SUV. There's talk that Porsche will offer its own version of the Q5, but probably not before model-year 2011.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
The 3.6s are pleasantly peppy in around-town driving, cruise with ease, but need deep stab of throttle for decent passing power at highway speeds. Audi lists 8.2 sec 0-60 mph. The 4.2s have slight delay in response from a rolling stop, but are strong enough otherwise to justify Audi's 7.0 sec 0-60-mph claim. On both, transmission is velvety, alert, enhanced by convenient steering wheel shift paddles in sporty S line package. Maximum towing capacity 6600 lb.
| 3.6 Premium w/air susp., 20-in. whls. | 4.2 Premium w/S line pkg., air susp. | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
Extended use 3.6 averaging 17.1 mpg over 6371 miles. Test 4.2 Premium averaged 12.8 mpg. Audi recommends premium-grade fuel for both engines.

Ride Quality
Q7s with driver-adjustable air suspension and 20-inch tires only models made available for test so far. Best results come from leaving air suspension in "automatic" mode, where it quells pitch and float on wavy surfaces and smothers most bumps with little thumping.

Steering/Handling/Braking
More agile and carlike than most large SUVs. Still, elevated stance, high weight demand slowing for tight corners despite modest body lean vs. others in class. Rock-solid straightline tracking. Steering firm, slop-free at highway speeds, and usefully light for parking, but some testers say turning circle is too wide. Braking swift, smooth, undramatic.

Quietness
Both engines make classy full-throttle growl, a subdued burble otherwise. Moderate wind rustle evident by 70 mph. Available 20-inch tires generate audible coarse-surface thrum.

Controls
Dashboard, center console rife with buttons, switches, despite aim of MMI system to reduce such clutter. System thoughtfully leaves routine climate adjustments to separate control, but absorbs most audio functions, rendering many distracting and time consuming. Interacting with MMI for navigation and vehicle-system settings also takes time. First-rate finish and furnishings help justify luxury-level pricing.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Fine leg room, but some taller testers say head space just adequate. Firm seats are long-haul comfortable, have multitude of adjustments. Power-adjustable pedals unavailable, but a tilt/telescope steering column is standard. Sunroof's power interior shade is mesh, not opaque, so some sunlight will always get through. Roofline, thick pillars impede view to some corners and dead-astern, though optional rearview camera compensates. Step-in a bit high, but manageable.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Same slightly steep step-in, but wide doors give easy access to 2nd row's ample leg space and OK head room. Outboard sections of firm 40/20/40 split bench slide fore/aft to favor passenger or cargo space, but seat itself a tad cramped for three adults. Twin bucket seats are optional. Access to 50/50 split 3rd-row bench a squeeze even for kids, as is space there.

Cargo Room
Audi lists 11 cu ft behind 3rd-row seat, 42 with it stowed, 72.5 with all rear seats down. Last figure is mediocre for this class, explained by high cargo floor, low roofline. Still, load floor flat with any seats folded, and headrests don't need removing. Erecting folded 3rd-row seats demands a long stretch from the tail or rear side doors. Plentiful cabin storage for cups, bottles, bric-a-brac.

Value within Class
Recognizing that vehicles in this class are more about coddling occupants than carrying cargo and need to make a style statement in the process, the Q7 fits the premium-large-SUV bill. The Q7's 3rd-row room, comfort, and access is hostile to adults, and the 4.2 V8's fuel economy is frightful. But Q7 earns our Recommended nod for mechanical finesse and terrific all-weather road manners. Audi design and workmanship also appeal.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.

Problems During Test: None From The Back Seat Rick Cotta On purely practical grounds, it's hard to justify the Q7's lofty price.

Some might be lured by the Audi name and the Q7's admitted panache, but the sum of its qualities falls short in a value equation. Tom Appel Yet another big SUV that puts style before function. Q7 is a really nice ride, but what it provides most people that the excellent A6 would not, baffles me. If you need a serious tow vehicle, this isn't it. Mercedes' more frugal R-Class makes for a better people mover, as do any number of sedans that will haul a small family just fine. Tom Appel Yet another big SUV that puts style before function.
