2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I love the SUV. Audi has done it again. The car is a pleasure to drive. The only problem I had is the air compressor was defective and I could not fill my tire with air when I needed to.

Favorite Features

I like the extra large and double sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

Better interior balance of steel and woodgrain trim across the different dashboard components.

Great SUV

2007 Audi Q7 3.6 quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have two children ages 4 and 11 months. There is enough room for one car seat, a booster seat and still room for an adult on the same row! I owned a minivan before, and although there is a little less room in the Q7 it's not by much. Love the way it drives. MMI is really easy to work. The only bad thing is it gets bad gas mileage. But, you have to remember it is an SUV.

Favorite Features

The seats and the MMI.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holders in the front are not designed well at all. They need to have two cup holders side by side, not where you have to flip up the arm rest.

Review

I've been driving mine for about 6 months now and I do love it. It's a lot like driving a loaded A6 (my Q7 is a 4.2 premium). It handles well, accelerates well and is extremely comfortable to drive. The tech bells and whistles offer everything you could need and want. My only complaint with the car is the off-road abilities. Thule doesn't make racks for it and for anyone who is an outdoor enthusiant looking for a more rugged vehicle worthy of hauling bikes, kayaks, etc, you may find yourself a little disappointed. However, some research early on may prove that this is the perfect all around vehicle for you. My wife has a Lexus and i've gone through Land Rovers, BMW X5, Tahoe, etc.

Favorite Features

Comfort, tech options, feel of driving a car with the space and versatility of an SUV.

Suggested Improvements

Make the nav easier to use, it's a bit complicated with a steep learning curve. However, once you get it, it's very good.

First, but not last Audi

2007 Audi Q7 3.6 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

The Audi Q7 3.6 Premium is a beautiful car. I get many people peeking through the windows trying to see the wonderful interior. I also get many compliments on how it looks everytime I go gas it or go to school. I got the Q7 after I traded in my Navigator. I hated how the Navigator drove and looked compared to Q7. The Q7 makes other SUVs look like boxes on wheels. The Q7 drives very easy in tight spaces making it feel smaller than it really is. People may think that the MMI will be hard to operate, but it's not. All the rows have comfortable seats, but the third row is hard to get to. The ride is much smoother than the Navigator and goes over rough surfaces very nicely.

Favorite Features

The MMI, panoramic sunroof, 20" rims, heated seats, 4-zone climate, navigation system, premium Bose stereo, adjusting bi-xenon headlamps, and power liftgate.

Suggested Improvements

None.

Review

Purchased 3.6 premium. I love this car! Handles and performs like a sports sedan even though this is a big SUV. Fun to drive!

Favorite Features

Panorama moon roof and S-line (gotta have it!).

Suggested Improvements

Rear view camera should have been standard not optional - this is a big car! Menus on MMI little bit confusing sometimes.

Best SUV on the Planet!!

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

This is by far the best SUV on the planet, save perhaps the VW Toureg which is made at the same factory as the Q7. The Q7 is much larger than the Toureg. The quality and ride are just outstanding and in line with the Audi reliability for building world class vehicles. The interior fit and finish are first class, and if you fold down the third row you have incredible storage space. Of course if you fold down the second row also, the storage space is huge. As far as safety goes, the Q7 comes with all the state-of-the-art safety features. This is in line with the safety committments from both Volkswagen and Audi, both of whom are always in the forefront of automotive safety.

Favorite Features

The MMI information system which is controlled by a knob, is easy to use. Bluetooth hands free telephone is great.

Suggested Improvements

Front bumper sensors, which I uderstand will be on the 2008 model.

Truly an Audi

Written by: WK on 05/30/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

Got a rare S-Line version with factory 21" wheels that are polished on the face and painted grey on the inside. Car looks very menacing all in lava grey. Handles very well, although not quite as quick as our dearly departed Audi allroad 2.7T. But torque is phenomenal. S-Line 3-point steering wheel mounted shift paddles allow for even smoother gear changes than those possible on my DSG equipped Audi TT 3.2Q.

Favorite Features

Articulated adjustable back seats (in 6 seat config.), 21" wheels and Dunlop Maxx tires, air suspension, keyless entry and start, S-line "macho" look with slight flares on wheel arches, V8 engine sound, Bluetooth phone operation.

Suggested Improvements

Lowest air suspension setting (=Dynamic) should lower and tighten vehicle further, tire look good but a bit noisy at certain speeds, voice controlled MMI requires complete interior silence to work well, fuel consumption.

My dream SUV

Written by: ThaR8Don on 05/29/2007

Vehicle

2007 Audi Q7 4.2 quattro 4dr SUV AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

Review

I think this is the most well built and value packed SUV on the market today. I've looked at many others such as the ML500, X5 4.6, Range Rover Sport and GL450 - none of them compared in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, they all have their strengths, but overall I felt the Audi Q7 was the best fit. For the money what you get in the Q7 is an exceptional value. I have enjoyed the drive and find it hard not to drive. I also have a Lincoln Navigator and an Audi A8L - the A8L used to be on the top of my list to drive but this Q7 edges it out ever so slightly. The Navigator was nice but it lacks that European road feel.

Favorite Features

The engine performace and exhaust note on acceleration, Multi Media Interface, body styling and my iPod interface (thats what put it over the top of the A8L for me).

Suggested Improvements

I'm a horsepower hog so I'd like to see it put out some where around 380hp. Not sure if I'd change anything else.

Well satisfied

Review

Had a steering column bind, would not adjust. Audi replaced column, works fine now. Mileage is better than I expected, 19.4. Find the cup holders some what clumsy to use. The Bluetooth is great. Had a 2005 Touareg that had front sensors and memory exit seat, miss both of those. Overall well satisfied.

Favorite Features

MMI system, full sunroof, Bluetooth, brakes, quietness. Side assist, backup camera.

Suggested Improvements

Cup holder placement, more in the front console, memory exit seat.

Most solid Audi yet

2007 Audi Q7 3.6 Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Great build quality, this is a really solid vehicle from the heavy feel of the doors to the look and feel of the interior. This is my 4th Audi in a row but first SUV so I really looked at all the options. I think the Audi offers more class, refinement, and style than the rest of the crowd without any serious flaws. If you are not a snob but insist on German engineering and styling, the Q7 comes highly recommended.

Favorite Features

Performance: firm suspension is just right; transmission is a dream - you forget you have gears; excellent brakes - no unreasonable nose dive under hard braking. Comfort: panoramic sunroof; Bose audio; floor lighting. Emotion: my son's first word was "Audi", it takes 20 mins to get him out.

Suggested Improvements

Steering wheel controls should cover all of the audio and navigation options; if you put it through the car wash with the windscreen wipers on auto they get ripped off and it damages the windscreen and is expensive to replace; personally I find the front seats have poor side support.
