Overview
Ever since this Audi Q7 generation's debut in 2017, we've been impressed with its classy interior, strong acceleration, seating for seven, and advanced technology features. As an all-around three-row luxury SUV, it's been one of our favorites. Now Audi has given the 2020 Q7 a number of additions that should make it an even smarter buy than before.

Enhancements start with the exterior styling. A more aggressive-looking front end visually tightens up the overall proportions so the Q7 appears more muscular. Audi's LED matrix headlights come on certain trims. These lights can provide better illumination of the road than traditional headlights while also minimizing glare to oncoming drivers. While they aren't approved for use in the U.S. quite yet, Audi says owners will be able to update the software at a dealer once the government approves the design. The rear styling, too, has been updated to bring it in line with some of Audi's newer models.
Inside, Audi has installed a new infotainment system with dual touchscreens. This is the same system Audi has been putting in its latest vehicles, such as the related Q8 SUV. The dashboard and center console have been updated, too, to accommodate the new system. The overall look is new and modern, which we like, but we've also found that this new touchscreen system can be distracting to use while driving.
There are a few under-the-hood changes as well. The Q7's upgraded engine is now a turbocharged V6, replacing last year's supercharged V6. The new engine makes more power, and based on our initial testing of the 2020 Q7, it definitely feels quicker around town than last year's model. Unfortunately, fuel economy has taken a hit. According to the EPA, fuel economy for the turbo V6 is down 3 mpg combined compared to the older engine.
Overall, however, we still expect the 2020 Audi Q7 will remain one of the top contenders in the three-row midsize luxury SUV market. Whether you're looking for luxury, performance, utility or a mix of all three, the Q7 easily hits the mark.
2020 Audi Q7 trim level differences
The 2020 Audi Q7 is a midsize three-row SUV powered by your choice of two engines: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (248 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque), which Audi calls the 45 TFSI, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 hp, 369 lb-ft) dubbed the 55 TFSI. Compare the 2020 Audi Q7 trim levels in-depth.
Which Q7 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Try getting the midlevel Premium Plus to maximize value. True, even the base Premium is packed with features, but you do get some valuable extras here, such as a wireless phone charger, an upgraded sound system and a blind-spot monitoring system. As for the Q7's engines, you can certainly get by with the four-cylinder, but the V6 provides quicker and more satisfying acceleration.

Buyer beware Update
2 out of 5 starsMatt, 08/18/2019
2019 Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
It started with a crack in the windshield that wasn't caused by road debris. Not covered by Audi but I had glass insurance on my auto policy.
Next came the GPS system getting lost. It took 12 days to fix due to parts.
Then came warning lights coming on telling of steering malfunction and distance errors.
That was caused by a loose wire to a sensor another few days in the shop.
The latest … is a drivetrain warning that is real. The whole car started vibrating.
It goes back on Monday.
This is all in the space of less than 9 months.
Really poor quality!!!
It's been 6 months and there haven't been any additional problems so I'm upping my review to 3 stars. It is a nice vehicle but the original quality was very poor.
One other note. If you are interested in a remote starter, forget Audi.
Second update In the past year I've had 3 instances of losing power and a warning coming up that stated drive train malfunction. If I turned the car off and restarted it went away. Checking on the internet, I'm not alone regarding this problem and apparently Audi can't find it because it's gone when they look for it. I will be dumping this vehicle before my warranty expires. I'm done with Audi.
Third update - water pump went after 34,000 miles. I was told that if it wasn't still under warranty, it would have cost me about $1,600.
Premium Ride; Arrive in style and comfort.

2019 Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI Prestige quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
Audi Q7 is by far one of the best driving SUVs I have owned. Now, before I go further; I have to be clear about this: This is a premium ride. It is meant for people who do not mind paying a premium for maintenance in terms of gas and normal maintenance. I have seen several one star reviews on here and other sites because the tires were $350 a piece. One has to be realistic; the OEM … tires are made in Germany by Goodyear and commands a premium price since they are runflats and due to the unique size which is not commonly produced.
Now to the car:
The car drives and handles perfectly for its size. For most people, the 2.0T (Turbo) is more than adequate but the 3.0TFSI (supercharged) provides excellent acceleration when the car is loaded with 6 people and their stuff. I own the 3.0TFSI, and the supercharger noise is very muted and not annoying. The ride comfort is excellent and the vehicle corners without too much lean. The space in 3rd row is more than adequate for kids but adults may find it a bit tight during long trips. The 2nd row does fold, slide, or flip up (unlike The Benz GLS450 which does not slide). The virtual cockpit and the controls require a steep learning curve. The models with Driver Assist packages is an excellent option if you are living in congested areas or in areas with stop-and-go traffic. Yes, the vehicle requires premium gas due to the forced-induction motor, but the gas mileage is excellent (approx 30 in highway @70-75 mph, and approx 18 to 20 in city, avg is approx 18 to 19 for the year in mixed driving). The build quality and build materials are exceptional. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase of this vehicle.
Update: No complaints! Regular oil changes; had a recall done by Audi. Overall impressive vehicle. I was saddened to see the supercharged engine go away with the new model!

2020 Audi Q7 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
This is our first Audi. Coming off Mercedes and BMW’s before. My wife needed some extra seats for shared school duty this year. I almost bought a BMW X7 but could not get over it being a brand new platform getting bad reliability marks. Also, it was just a little too big for daily run-around. Next was an upgrade to her Mercedes to a new GLE. Needed the AMG Exterior (such a better look … than chrome trim), the V6/450 variant and 3rd row option. Challenging to find inventory and ultimately driving up price over the competition. MB ride is also just so soft. We looked at Volvo, trying for something different this time. Unimpressed with manual cabin functions, seats were too firm, no USB ports and wasn’t impressed with T6 4-cylinder engine. We did not dig for a T8 - which I’m sure would have been a fun drive - because of the other drawbacks. Not sure why it took so long for me to review Audi but by the time I did it was literally like a ‘greatest hits’ of everything I’d seen in the market. Thrilling drive (especially in Dynamic), really comfortable seats, perfect ride (highly recommend air suspension), safety & tech is all there (items excluded weren’t important for us like auto-parking), MMi touchscreen is simply the best in industry (no touch pad, wheels, gesture - all touch screen, customizable and intuitive beyond all expectations). We love the looks. Driver position is perfect blend between car and SUV feel (I guess ‘wagon’ comes to mind). Dealer and discount/pricing was great. Fit and finish is tight/Germanic. We will have to see on reliability but I feel very confident in this long-running platform. So happy I held out, continued the search and found a winner.
Dissappointed

2019 Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
2019 Q7 3.0 is a nice car but has some issues. For a $70K German luxury car the seating is uncomfortable and needs more adjustments, acceleration from a stop is often jerky, virtually no storage and the most glaring shortcoming is the oil consumption....in 4800 miles I have added 2.5 quarts. Hind sight I have found numerous complaints about Audi engines and excessive oil consumption.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Audi Q7, so we've included reviews for other years of the Q7 since its last redesign.
