Best Luxury Mid-SUV/Maint and Repairs $$$$
Bought Q7 TDI 3.0 used in 2014 with 25k miles in perfect shape. Vehicle now has 175k miles on her but still running like a mule. Brakes and Tires have been biggest problem. The vehicle simply consumes both. After three sets of brakes, we left AUDI OEM and found an after market heavy duty combination of brakes and rotors that lasts better than factory. It is still chewing up tires. No solution for that with the Quattro. Audi really should have installed heavy duty truck brake discs and pads with the overall weight of the vehicle at 6000lbs+. The performance pads just wont hold up. She began leaking oil from the transmission and engine block junction at 130k miles and continues leaking oil at rate of 0.5L a week. $7k required to fix it would total the car. After the BOSCH settlement and engine modifications for the TDi engine, the car began guzzling AdBlue to meet California emission Rec's. I can't say I have noticed a significant change in performance, but the AdBlue light comes on weekly... Our latest weekly maintenance light is the radiator water telling us we have apparently sprung a leak? Other than that, we had a glow-plug issues around 140k miles that sidelined the vehicle during a road trip that took the dealership a few days to reconcile. Interior is still holding up well, but leather is starting wear. The rear auto lift gate does not function properly and lift the gate from the rear handle but that is the ONLY electronic issue we have had-EVER. Find a GM, BMW, Mercedes, or especially a Range Rover that has no electrical technology failures in 7 years and 150k miles!! Overall she has been a beast and still runs fast and strong but she's just getting too $$$ to maintain and unreliable for long trips anymore...Our road has come to an end. Overall, top of the class in the Midsize Luxury 3rd row category in my opinion and the 3.0 TDi engine was Bad-A*S and a hauling MULE! It's a shame it's gone but we do need to protect the environment...I support that. I am so impressed overall with the Audi brand and service experience I purchased my second S5 Cabriolet this year and likely will be putting a kidney on the market soon to acquire a 2020 Q7. Sad its $20k more MSRP than it's predecessor but the AUDI technology is truly at the pinnacle of luxury autos now. Get what you pay for?

Best SUV you can buy
The 2013 Audi Q7 is a great SUV. It has great power, handling, and safety you can ever ask for. It has plenty of room for hauling the family around including the dog (75 lbs) to and front soccer, grocery store, and family road trips. So far i have al but positive experiences with the Q7.

I almost love this car!
As an owner, you know that every car purchase has some degree of weighing the vehicle's pros against its cons. As long as you go into this with your eyes wide open and willing to accept the cons, your satisfaction is likely to be high. And, so it is for the Q7. This TDI has fantastic fuel economy, gobs of power, handles well for the 5,500# beast it is, looks classy, rides like a dream, and is comfortable enough to drive all day every day without fatigue. So, what are the cons? Well, two major things: 1., space use for cargo is horrible; Audi really should have made the car six inches taller. As it is, cargo room is quite height-limited, and this is something I find quite annoying (quite often). The fact that it has a third row for seating simply means that there is less cargo space for a useless row that no normal (or even relatively small) human can use with any level of practicality. 2., Too many sensors. If anyone ever asked the question, "Is it possible for a car to have too many sensors?" Audi answered it for us: Yes, it is!!!!! Honestly, many of the sensors main purpose in life is to give false-positives because they are in damage-prone areas and are for things that even the worst car owner should be entirely capable of managing on their own. Example? Brake pad sensors.... seriously! Update (4/20/19): After owning for over two years, I must say that overall I'm satisfied with it. It still has all the faults it had last time I reviewed, and the diesel modification that VAG performed is... underwhelming, at best...., the vehicle remains an excellent highway cruiser. --------------------- Update, 10/22/2021 While my overall opinion of the car hasn't changed, after 70,000 miles with it, I have come to truly appreciate the power and smoothness of the diesel engine. However, what I don't appreciate about it is VAG, or Audi Corporate. They clearly hold a grudge with the diesel vehicles, and they are less than uninterested in honoring the extended warranty they were forced to accept several years ago, despite the generosity of the US government in allowing them to not offer buybacks on the 2.1 generation 3.0L TDI vehicles (yes, the "fix" was crap on these and should have been rejected). My recommendation? Let the venerable TDI join the annals of automotive history and stay away unless you, like me, love diesels.

brake issues at low mileage
Front brake noise first appeared at ~13K. Had an oil change done at 15K only find out that we are staring at brake job, pads and rotors, for both front and rear, estimated at $1,600. Both dealerships commented on this as "normal wear" and so did Audi Customer Care. Dealing with Customer Care is a joke. Apparently my 20+ year driving experience and owning multiple SUVs/trucks and not having the brakes shot at 15K means nothing. I suggested that the dealer pays for rotors and I pay for pads, so will hear back from Audi in a couple of days. Complaints about the breaks/rotors replacement at early mileage is something that various Audi forums cover well. Thinner break pads (7mm) vs. other luxury SUVs and softer break pad material, all seem to contribute to the issue of premature brake failure. Single use rotors, which are not supposed to be serviced until ~35,000 miles according to Audi Q7 Maintenance Schedule, need to be replaced with every brake job, which can drive the cost up to $2,000 for parts and labor. I'm excited at the 2017 Q7, but who needs a brake job that soon, so may not be trading in next year.

Junk
I have a 2014 Audi Q7 and have had nothing but problems,under 50,000 miles,I have had to replace the water pump and the plastic lens on the headlight is cracking,Even though the vehicle is still under warranty Audi refuses to replace the 1 defective plastic lens on headlight they say it is nothing to do with manufacturers defect,the cracking is due to outside interest....they are the worse to deal with,just deny and delay till warranty is up..They are the HMO's of the auto industry.....I will never buy another..Buyer beware...
Really impressed....Love my Q7
I thought I'd wait until I hit around 1 year before I left a review. It's been about 1 year since I bought my Q7 TDI and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it. I've been very happy with the Q7. Originally I wasn't planning on going with the TDI but the dealership happened to have one in stock on their showroom floor and it had all the features that I wanted. It would have taken about 2 months to custom order one so I decided to go with the TDI even though it was more expensive.
Very pleased with my Q7 TDI
Wanted to wait until after my first required service for a true evaluation of the Q7. Bought my Q7 TDI after driving/considering the X5D, ML350 Bluetec, Toureg TDI. Only the TDI provided me with the space I needed in cargo area and fairly useable 3rd row, even if only occasionally. I have my own soccer training business and none of the others would fit my gear without much struggle. Close 2nd were the ML, which rode wonderfully, and the X5D which felt very much like a BMW. The Audi is a great combo of all the things I needed. Very powerful, quiet, and tremendous gas mileage! Came from an '07 MDX where I struggled to get 330 miles from full tank, I now get that on a half tank! **Update 7/2016...Still love the Q7! The only thing that I would improve is the WiFi. Hope they have improved it for 2016 because mine is awful. Nine out of ten times I have to take it off WiFi if I'm trying to stream music because it can't do it. Other than that, it's been a great vehicle for us.**Update 1/2017 Cancelled the Audi Connect which provided the WiFi through Sprint. Total waste of money. Hope it's improved. Had my first mechanical failure since purchase in 4/2013. Blower fan for climate control died, unfortunately during the coldest weather of winter so far. Audi Chantilly was awesome as usual and was replaced under the extended warranty I purchased. Other than that, still love the truck. Sadly disappointed the TDIs have been eliminated for the foreseeable future. Will consider trading in on a new diesel if they ever come out with one.

Just as good as our other one!
We purchased the 2013 as a replacement of our 200,000 + mile 2009. With good preventative maintenance, we have just passed 170,00 miles and she is still out cross country rig.

Very disappointed in the Reliability of Audi
I sold my 2007 Lexus LS 460 and bought a used 2012 Q7 with 80K miles. Big mistake. I got an amazing deal but I gave up the silky smooth ride and 147K miles of maintenance free driving for a bumpy ride that got worse over time. The styling of the Q7, all those red lights inside and the killer Bose stereo won me over. I feel the car is under-powered. It needs at least a 4.0 ltr engine or a V8 to move the 7,000lbs. After about 15K miles I had to replace the belt tensioner and both belts ($848) After another 3K, the valve cover gaskets were leaking like crazy ($1265) As a result of the gaskets leaking, a month later I had to replace the o2 sensor ($398) now at 103K miles the resistor for the A/C and blower motor have gone out ($1677) So much for getting the great deal. I've put that and more back into the car and have barely had it two years. I have a friend with a 2011 A6 with 168K, he as dropped over $3500 in the last year as well. I'm done. Won't buy another Audi until I can afford the Q8.

My Squeaky Brakes???
Since the day the car left the lot, the brakes have squeaked, made noise, annoyed me.. I took it back to the dealer and there response was “What Noise”.... I am two brake jobs and new rotors into the car and still they squeak?? I was told get up to 30-40 Mph and slam on the breaks to get the dust off of them. Huh Really.. Didn’t work. As I talk to more and more Q7 owners they all have the same bad story. For the cost of this car, they should be able to engineer brakes the don’t squeak. Update: I have since sold the car after a few more visits to the dealership, with no further satisfaction on getting a fix for the brakes. I did tell the dealership if they could guarantee that a new Q7 would not have the same problem? I would buy one.. They could not and would not say this.

Q7: Power and Luxury is possisble!
The Q7 TDI with the 8 speed automatic is a pleasure to drive. This is not your typical diesel found in US cars. The TDI is very quiet but really strong, the torque provides a very smooth acceleration and the 8 speed transmission shifts flawlessly. On a recent highway trip to Atlanta, Ga we locked the cruise in at 78 and were getting 26.6 MPG with 3 adults. The Audi MMI ( multi media interface that controls the nav, music and voice recognition works great. I really like the Goggle Earth Navigation. The MMI allows for up to 8 devices to be connected through WiFi. The seats are comfortable and 2 position seat memory works well for the needs of 2 different sized drivers.
This beast is meant to roll
Bought this beast with 164,000 miles. Getting 25mpg feels great to drive. Technology doesn’t feel too dated. Was going to be out extra car if we needed to haul people or stuff, but is now our daily driver.

New to 35K review
Phenominal vehicle. The engine delights me still. Lots of torque, feels sporty despite its size. 7000 lb towing capacity, seats 7 and will get 32 mpg on the highway. There's a 400 mile stretch of desert through AZ and NM where I've done this twice! Gets almost as good mileage, in town, as my A8 gets on the highway. love the wifi hotspot, thought it was a silly gimmick, but my wife uses it with the iPad often. Wifi is tmobile so coverage isn't great but it's great for looking at restaurant reviews and researching hotels etc. Love the google driven Nav. The satellite overview makes exploring easier and adds visual interest. Makes driving at night and in the rain more engaging.
Great reliable car.
Drives like a tank. Built very solid....

front interior
I'm frustrated with the layout of the center console: I have to take my eye off the road to use the radio/navigation MMI controls. Also the same with the cup holders as they are too far back. Voice control doesn't understand my commands or maybe I don't understand what to say. Radio knob is out of the way and when out of my usual territory it is difficult to find a radio station. The cruise control is visually difficult to see. I don't like the wiper system as when I turn them on the rear wipers seem to go on too due to its location on the stick. Vehicle has a lot of road noise. I thought I'd get better fuel mileage with the diesel but am only getting 25 mpg on the highway.
Significant Electrical Design Flaw
I wish I had known this model has a significant flaw on the interior electronics. The MMI system that drives the radio, navigation, camera etc fails and it results in thousands of dollars to repair. Happened to me and several friends. It has been at the dealer for 3 weeks as they attempt to find the problem. Stay Away

Audi Q7 PRESTIGE S-LINE
This vehicle has one of the best factory stereo systems I have ever heard. The original owner paid for the $6300.00 optional Bang & Olsen 14 speaker, 1000 watt digital amp system. The front dash speakers both raise up out of the dash for proper staging and clarity. All of the speakers have aluminum grilles and sound amazing no matter what type of music you prefer. The vehicle has the 295/35/21 in tires mounted on 21×10in wheels that give the vehicleft an aggressive stance and look. I love the vehicle but my wife wants something smaller. We are considering the 2016 BMW M4 M edition and the Audi SQ5 S-Line. I wish this vehicle was mine but I bought it for my wife and she wants to trade it towards something smaller.

Perfect Q7?
If performance is critical, you really need to verify you are getting the 333hp engine. Very confusing and I missed it. I think that you are limited to the Prestige package.?

Nice but very costly
Brakes are horrible, and do not last long when replaced. Dealer states that it is normal to consume large quantities of oil. Right now 1 qt/450 miles. AC fan does not move air very well( checked by dealer as working normally) moon roof and perforated cover work when they decide too.build quality is not that good. 90s Hyundai. Falling apart and it is taken care of. For a superchatged 3.0l engine, very weak. The newer version is way better. Fuel economy is 12 in the city 20 on highway. My 2015 ford expedition with 3.5l ecoboost gets 16 city 28 on hwy 24 interstate

My Black Out
Great Car, Sleek, Smooth, handles well and a head turner...
Amazing
It is beautiful, fast (I'm gonna get a ticket... I can just tell), quiet- the only thing I can hear is the 1,000 watt B and O system that puts music into your soul, advanced technology- that will take me years to figure out... have I mentioned it is a head turning German engineered machine?
Happy Audi Owner
I love my Q7. It’s very roomy, great ride; however, repairs can be costly. I put 177,000 on my 2013, which still runs great, and needed little maintenance along the way, but as stated, when I did eventually need repairs, they were costly.
