2018 Audi Q7 2.0T Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Last October, my husband bought me a brand-new 2018 Q7 car, as a gift, from Audi Silver Spring, Maryland. Surprisingly, in less than a month, a sudden annoying beep, repeatedly announcing an Emergency Call Malfunction, terrified us. After contacting Audi Service, they took the car on November 24th, 2017, and promised to fix it in a day or two, saying they know about 2018 Q7 car defect. … This comment rang a bell in our mind. If they already know about it, why Audi sell it without fixing it?! Is this a fair trade?! After more than 20 days later, Audi did not fix the car. Going back and forth, finally Audi’s Service Department told us that they could not fix the car, because a part was not received from Germany! This was not just an irrational excuse; but, also, a gross insult to us for spending over sixty-seven thousand dollars on an Audi car, and receive such poor service! Is this a fair trade?!
Anyhow, to solve this problem amicably, I told Audi’s Manager either to give us a full refund, or a new similar car. The latter agreed to provide us a new similar car in a few days. Alas, Audi did not fulfill its promise, again. For the benefit of doubt, we gave Audi’s Manager a longer delay; saying we are travelling and will be back around mid- January. By then, we expect you to give us a similar car, or a full refund. Sadly, Audi did not fulfill its promise, for the third time. By definition, a brand-new car means a defect-free car. Hiding the 2018 Q7 car defect is an act of misleading and dishonesty. This defect is known by Audi and its dealership since some time. Yet, Audi did not tell us about it. Thus, Audi deceived us in selling this car. Plus, our 2018 Q7 car is considered a lemon car by Federal and State Law.
Audi’s Dealership knows that I am a science major and must concentrate on my studies.
Audi wasted our time for three months for no legitimate reason; during which we were – and still are – paying installments, interest, and insurance on a car, which we are not using since last November; because it is in Audi’s possession. Audi’s dealership has frustrated us, disappointed us, caused us to suffer, and denied us the enjoyment of using our own brand-new car. By any standard, Audi’s transaction is – unethical and unfair. Audi’s Director of Variable Operations offered us his apology for causing us this ordeal. Does he really think that his apology shall alleviate our suffering?!
Based upon the aforesaid trouble, we find it very difficult for us to trust Audi anymore! We honestly believe that if Audi and its dealership care about their name, business and reputation, they must cancel this deal as well as its loan, immediately; pay us a full refund of our money, including all interest, insurance, and installments we made.
Fantastic car!

Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Audi Q7 2.0T Premium quattro SUV
What’s new
- No significant changes for 2018
- Part of the second Q7 generation introduced for 2017
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Exceptional interior materials and build quality
- Pro:Best-in-class ride quality regardless of road surface
- Pro:Cutting-edge safety and technology features
- Con:Less cargo space than most competitors
- Con:Majority of options, including driver aids, not available on base trim
Which Q7 does Edmunds recommend?
We think the Premium Plus is the one to get. This trim adds features like an upgraded sound system and blind-spot monitoring, but more importantly gives you access to more options. Buyers with heavy commutes will appreciate the Driver Assistance package and its suite of active driver aids. Those in extreme climates will want to consider the Cold or Warm Weather packages. Whatever your needs, the Q7 Premium Plus likely has a package to meet them. We like both engines, but keep in mind that the four-cylinder's advantage is a lower price tag more so than improved fuel economy.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Audi Q7 SUV
Driving
9.0The 2017 Audi Q7 is a strong performer in the three-row luxury crossover class thanks to the power and torque of its supercharged 3.0-liter V6. Handling is also admirable, whether you opt for the Adaptive Chassis option or not. And those sharp reflexes do not come at the expense of comfort either.
Comfort
9.0Think of the 2017 Audi Q7 as the luxurious A8 on a grander scale. It's that good. No matter how uneven the road or how fast you're traveling, the Q7 remains quiet as a crypt as the miles glide past.
Interior
8.5The 2017 Q7's modern and luxurious interior is a great place to spend time. It's attractive without being gimmicky, and everything is thoughtfully designed, placed and executed. The only real downside is its relatively small cargo space.
Utility
7.0While there's plenty of space when you fold the seats down, you'll have a harder time squeezing things into the Q7 if you've got several passengers. Luggage loads easily in the back thanks to a power-folding third row, hands-free liftgate and low floor height.
Technology
9.0Audi's MMI technology interface is one of the best around. From the standard 7-inch touchscreen to the 8.3-inch display, there are crisp graphics and simple menus as well as easy-to-learn controls. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more user-friendly interface.
