Love the exterior look and the interior luxury. It drives like a much smaller car. It is nimble and easy to steer. The drive is so smooth. When you are driving 90 mph it feels like 60 in a regular car. The infotainment system has a high learning curve but after you have everything customized, it is easy to live with. I wish it was available with the high-end B&O sound system, but the mid-level one sounds good but not great. It is very comfortable and everything works well. The virtual cockpit with Google Earth maps is the highlight. It is very quiet with dual pane glass on the windshield, and both front and rear windows. There is plenty of room for five adults. Adults can fit in the rear if the 2nd row seats are moved forward. The 2nd row seats fold forward a great deal making entry to the 3rd row easy. Only a few things I don't like: (1) the storage in the front is nearly non-existent with a tiny center console. (2) There is no tire gauge pressure reading. You will get a warning if a particular tire goes below a threshold but there is no numerical readout (3) There is no remote start so remote unlocking through the app. Now I have had the car for about 7 months. I still feel that it is a great car and my initial impressions were good. The reliability issues of Audi did raise its ugly head during this time. The check engine light came on after about 5000 miles. I brought it into the dealership and they kept it for 2 days and said it was fixed. But the problem recurred after a few days, and I had to bring it back in again for another couple of days. They said they had to replace a fuel pump assembly. The first time they just replaced a sensor. The second time they replaced the whole unit. It has been working fine since then. I have never had a car with such a major engine problem in such a short time. I don't know what that bodes for the future. The dealership was great with free loaner cars with free gas. Some things I like more over time: The sound system started sounding better and better as the speakers were broken in. I learned how to drive it so I could get really great fuel mileage on the highway. I was able to easily achieve 25 to 27 mpg. The cooled seats work really well. The car is built like a tank. You don't get door dings. I was involved in a minor accident due to somebody illegally driving into my lane. But the car just bounced off the other car with a couple minor scratches that are nearly invisible. Any other car I owned would have had a crumpled side panel. Things I don't like over time: The auto start-stop can be really rough, although you can turn it off. The fuel mileage in city driving is really bad especially for short trips. There I am getting under 15 mpg. Voice navigation sometimes works well and sometimes not. It depends on whether you get a good network connection with Google. Wireless charging in conjunction with wireless Apple Carplay makes the phone really hot. These are fairly minor gripes. Overall, once you drive this car, most other cars will feel inadequate and inferior.

Luxury For the Whole Family

After looking at a number of alternatives in the 3-row SUV market (including the BMW X5 and the Volkswagen Atlas), we decided on the 2021 Audi Q7. Nothing else out there offers the same combination of space, luxury, features, design and performance. The Q7 is beautifully designed, inside and out. The interior is stunning, with the cockpit featuring three screens for viewing gauges, infotainment and HVAC, among other things. In fact, the tech can be slightly off-putting, especially if you're coming from a more analog type of vehicle. Once you get it setup, it works very well and becomes second nature. The seating is very comfortable, and while the 3rd row is not as large as some full-size SUVs, you can adjust the legroom by sliding the middle seats forwards and backwards. Other features we really like are the giant glass roof and the fantastic LED headlights. One oddly missing feature is remote starting. It seems that Audi should include this feature, especially on Premium Plus models, like ours. The Audi website doesn't do a good job of listing all the standard features in one place, so I actually wasn't sure if the car had remote starting or not. One thing that is not missing is power. Our turbo V6 model has more than enough performance - it's surprisingly quick. Car and Driver indicates a 5.0 second 0-60 time, and the Q7 is very relaxed at highway speeds with its 8-speed transmission. The Q7 is very well built and feels incredibly solid and tight over bumpy roads and potholes. The pricing on this vehicle is towards the premium end of the spectrum, but it's worth it.

After extensive research over the past 18 months and test drives of several SUV’s and wagons, we chose the Audi Q7 for it’s extremely smooth, quiet ride, good performance and acceleration, gas mileage and other overall features and comfort. It is a very compelling vehicle with many technical aids/features and multiple ways to access and operate those features albeit somewhat more difficult than it has to be at times. The quality of materials and construction is absolutely top notch and the overall design is very nice to look at while being simple but elegant in design and functionality. The interior storage is on the smallish side and there are far too many “nanny warnings, greetings”, etc. Visibility out of this vehicle is outstanding and coupled with the various driver aids and cameras, makes it very pleasurable to drive. Economy is good as it is averaging about 20 mpg in mixed driving and over 24 mpg at speed. Our research has definitely been validated by the 2021 Audi Q7 without a doubt.

The Audi q7 was such a surprise for us. We actually went to our local Audi dealer because they had a 2021 BMW X5 with 1800 miles on it. We already have an X3 2014 and wanted something a little larger. We love our X3 so I was sure we were going to be driving home in the X5. When we did the test drive on the X5 we were disappointed in they way it downshifted and handled. I really did not even want to drive an Audi, but the salesman said we should just for comparison. The Audi is super quiet, fast and the apple play to me is life changing. It will read your texts and emails to you and send you alerts if you want, you can listen to all of your music and podcasts and the phone is so clear it sounds better than my landline. If you can use a smartphone you can use this infotainment very easily. It's a big car but so easy and comfortable to drive. It has the comfort and smoothness of a cadillac but the sportiness and handling of our X3. My husband says it's like our old Range Rover and X3 had a baby. We got the premier package due to the double pain windows and the roads in our state are so noisy. Visibility is really good and so many safety features too. Surround sound 3D stereo. The 3rd row seat is pretty small but we only need that in an emergency. One thing I really like is I can heat or cool the seat only on the bottom or only on my back or both. I love that feature for long road trips. Other SUV's we were considering were Range Rover, Tahoe, Explorer, Lexus G460, Mercedes. After reading numerous reviews and watching YouTube I really didn't know what to think. Sometimes you just have to come to your own conclusions. The only thing I don't like is the shiny black plastic trim inside along the dashboard. It's an easy fix. We have a local company that wraps cars and they are going to put a clear flat wrap on the dashboard to take away the shininess. Update April 2022: Still love this car. Have taken it on some long road trips. It's stress free driving for sure. When you have the windows up you are in a cocoon of silence. Hardly any road noise. We were doing around 85 MPH and a truck about a mile in front of us dropped a 25lb bag of dry concrete and it looked like a mini explosion. Cars were swerving everywhere. The AUDI Q7 took it in stride and the car never felt out of control. We just navigated around the whole thing. Had to jerk the steering wheel but the car never felt like it jerked. It was like the car was saying, "I got this"We ended up never putting anything on the shiny part of the dashboard. Doesn't bother me at all anymore. Every time we get into this car we look at this car and smile at each other. We at one point thought about selling it because it's worth more now that what we paid, but after we take it somewhere we change our mind about selling it.

I bought a brand new 2021 Audi Q7...it's been a nightmare...before reaching 18K miles, I've had the exterior sensors replaced twice, an interior light replaced, and one of their required $600 "drive flat" tires replaced...and each time I've taken the disabled vehicle to the dealership, it's taken at least one month to repair....over the years, I've had Acura, Range River, Toyota, Lexus, Volkswagen, Subaru, Chevrolet, and Ford vehicles....easily, the worst, most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned is an Audi....don't walk, but run from any Audi dealership trying to sell you one of their poorly engineered vehicles
