Used 2021 Audi Q7 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Audi Q7 is available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. All Q7s come with three rows of seating and all-wheel drive. Audi offers two engines in the Q7: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (248 hp, 273 lb-ft) in 45 TFSI models or a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 hp, 369 lb-ft) in 55 TFSI models. Both are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

If you're interested in something a little sportier, check out the Q7's relatives: the V8-powered SQ7, the two-row coupe-style Q8 and SQ8, and high-performance RS Q8. All are reviewed separately.

Premium
The base-level Premium trim comes fairly well equipped. The four-cylinder engine is standard, and the V6 engine is optional. Standard features include:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Power-folding third row

  • Audi MMI infotainment system with dual touchscreens

Standard safety features and driver aids include:

  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

The Q7 Premium is available with a few option packages, including:

  • Convenience package
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Audi Phone Box wireless charger and signal booster
    • Ambient interior lighting
    • Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Q7 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Towing package

Premium Plus
Like the Premium model, the Q7 Premium Plus comes standard with the four-cylinder engine and has the V6 as an option. The Premium Plus also includes all of the Premium's features, adding:

  • Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Illuminated doorsills
  • 20-inch wheels (with 55 TFSI engine)
  • Standard Convenience package

Options include:

  • Executive package
    • Four-zone automatic climate control
    • Lane keeping assist (steers the Q7 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Ventilated front seats
    • Heated rear seats
  • Towing package
  • Matrix LED headlights

Prestige
The top-level Prestige trim comes standard with the turbocharged V6 engine as well as all of the Premium Plus' features. Other standard equipment includes:

  • Matrix LED headlights
  • Adaptive air suspension (can adjust the vehicle's ride height)
  • Standard Executive package
  • Multi-color interior LED lighting
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Soft-closing doors

Other significant options for the Q7 include:

  • Towing package
  • Laser headlights
  • Luxury package
    • Faux suede headliner
    • Massaging front seats
    • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • All-wheel steering (for more nimble turning)

Which Q7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going with the midrange Premium Plus trim. It offers a solid mix of standard features such as an upgraded audio system and a surround-view parking camera system. The four-cylinder engine is OK, but opt for the V6 if you're commonly hauling around a lot of passengers or cargo.
