Used 2022 Audi Q7 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Audi Q7 is a midsize three-row SUV 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) paired to a 48-volt mild hybrid system, found in 55 TFSI trims. Both powertrains 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
  • Power-folding and heated mirrors
  • Auto-dimming exterior and interior mirrors
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Keyless entry and ignition

  • Power-folding third row
  • Leather upholstery
  • 10-speaker audio system

Standard safety features and driver aids include:

  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

  • Towing package
    • Seven-pin connector
    • Tow hitch

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:

  • Convenience package
  • 20-inch wheels (with 55 TFSI engine)
  • Illuminated doorsills
  • Bang & Olufsen premium audio system
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Q7 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Options for the Premium Plus include:

  • Executive package
    • Ambient interior lighting
    • Four-zone automatic climate control
    • Leather armrests (with 55 TFSI engine)
    • Ventilated front seats
    • Heated rear seats
    • Rear sunshades
  • Black optic package
    • 20-inch black-painted wheels (with 45 TFSI engine)
    • 21-inch black-painted wheels (with 55 TFSI engine)
    • Black exterior trim
  • 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:

  • Executive package
  • Matrix LED headlights
  • Adaptive air suspension (can adjust the vehicle's ride height)
  • Sound-reducing side windows
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Soft-closing doors

Other significant options for the Q7 include:

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

Shoppers looking for even greater personalization can ask their dealer about the Audi Exclusive program. It allows prospective buyers to choose from a list of exclusive exterior paint colors, unique interior stitching colors and different wood trim, for a hefty fee.

Which Q7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The entry-level Premium trim is loaded with a solid list of standard features, plus a few optional extras if you want additional goodies. If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg, the Premium is a good way to go. That said, the Premium Plus is also worth a look, especially since it doesn't cost much more than the Premium, and its options list is a bit more comprehensive. Either way, we recommend the 55 TFSI engine — its improved power output makes a difference when you have the Q7 loaded with people and cargo.
