This seven-seater can also tow up to 7,700 pounds, so none of your toys have to stay behind. The SQ7 is almost too good to be real.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Keith Buglewicz

Updated: 11/8/2026

If you like the size and utility of the Audi Q7 but are willing to pay extra for a little more oomph under the hood, the 2025 Audi SQ7 is just the ticket. With a 500-horsepower turbo V8 under the hood, the SQ7 doesn't lack for power, and with a sport-tuned suspension and all-wheel drive it's surprisingly agile for a seven-passenger SUV. This year, the SQ7 receives a few styling tweaks plus more features for its infotainment system. Through the Audi App Store, you can download popular apps to the system, including Spotify, YouTube and others.

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan

Good

6.7

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Audi SQ7 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

9/10

How does the Audi SQ7 drive? You might not tell by looking, but the SQ7 can smoke a Toyota Supra off the line. In our testing, it only needed 3.9 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph — quick by any measure, and an increasingly common thread for modern high-performance SUVs. At 5,300 pounds, though, the SQ7 is no lightweight. You'll feel that weight through corners, but the SQ7 moves respectably well and stops with confidence and grace. The steering is accurate and satisfying in how it relays the feeling of front tire grip.

Despite its performance persuasion, the SQ7 delivers abundant everyday comfort largely thanks to an excellently tuned air suspension. It soaks up road irregularities like a sponge without making the ride feel like Jell-O in the process. Our only real complaint is the balky stop-start system that sometimes cuts out too early and fires up too late.

The Q7's boxy greenhouse offers excellent outward visibility, and an optional 360-degree camera system gives multiple viewing angles, including a 3D image that simulates looking at the car from outside. Most driver aids are standard on the Prestige trim and are well worth the money.

Comfort

7.6/10

How comfortable is the Audi SQ7? The SQ7's boxy greenhouse offers plenty of room for passengers, although the third row is best saved for kids only. The seats offer excellent adjustability and provide hours of comfort on the road yet retain plenty of lateral support to minimize sliding around as the Audi moves through curves and corners. Getting in and out is relatively easy, with plenty of head clearance complemented by a low step-in height. Access to the third row is cumbersome, though.

Our test car included dual-pane windows that greatly reduced ambient wind and surrounding noise, although the V8 growl is there when you want it. The four-zone climate control was very effective, and the heated and ventilated front seats are significantly better than BMW's offerings. Audi's decision to go full touchscreen for its infotainment is bold, but some of us found it distracting to use and easy to smudge. Others found it intuitive and uncluttered. All agree, at least, that the design is visually appealing.

Rare for the class are three sets of car seat anchors across the second row and two in the third row, offering some good options for child seats.

In-cabin tech

6.2/10

How’s the tech? The SQ7's infotainment interface is controversial, but you can't deny that the cabin tech looks fully modern and comes with plenty of features. We like that it supports wireless Apple CarPlay too. The upgraded Bang & Olufsen audio system sounds amazing, but it also costs a lot. We think the standard system should suit most buyers.

Audi's voice control system isn't as comprehensive as Mercedes' excellent MBUX system, but it's very good compared to most systems on the market. It will pull up an address or point of interest quickly, activate the driver's seat heater, or switch to a satellite radio station with ease.

Storage & cargo

6.1/10

How’s storage and cargo? Cargo capacity ranges from 14.2 cubic feet (behind the third row) to a max of 69.6 cubic feet with all rows folded. This space would be about average for a standard three-row midsize SUV, but it's generous compared to other performance SUVs. The power-folding third-row seats are a nice touch and can fold in any second-row seat position. Interior storage is less impressive. The sizable door pockets are the best for stashing stuff.

Audi cites a 7,700-pound towing capacity for our SQ7 with the optional tow package, which is excellent.

Value

6.9/10

Is the Audi SQ7 a good value? It's harder to see value in vehicles at this price point because emotion ultimately rules the day. That said, the SQ7 delivers quite good bang for the buck. Build quality is top-notch and modern — typical Audi — but not at the expense of function or comfort. Ideally specced, our SQ7 would ring in at $96K, far less than some of the other offerings in this class. In other words, it feels well worth the cost of admission.

Audi's warranty is pretty typical with basic and powertrain coverage for four years/50,000 miles and roadside assistance covered for four years/unlimited miles.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The SQ7 gets an EPA-estimated 17 mpg combined. We achieved a promising 20.4 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, which falls in line with those estimates. Considering the performance delivered by this V8, the fuel economy is pretty decent, matching that of the similarly sized SQ8 and beating both the more powerful Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 S and peppier BMW X5 M.

X factor

9/10

The SQ7 is no lightweight athlete, but it can move around corners with surprising speed if you approach it with some finesse. The engine is surprisingly potent and makes wonderful noises, which is more than half of the fun. The optional sport package with torque vectoring and active roll control would make this a real party.

Audi pens some of the cleanest vehicle shapes in the industry, and the SQ7, while beautiful, might be too subtle for some. It still scores high with us for erring on the side of subtlety rather than exuberant flash.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Audi SQ7 for November

New 2025 Audi SQ7 inventory is effectively gone, so skip the usual new-car haggling and shop used instead.

There are 24 used SQ7s nationwide, which is far more practical than chasing zero new units. If you want a specific trim or color, the used market is your real path now.
Used SQ7 prices start around $65,700. Premium Plus examples dip to about $61,100, while Prestige starts much higher at about $74,800, so Premium Plus looks like the value play.
The old new-car pricing data showed buyers were getting about $10,200 off MSRP, but with no new inventory left, that bargain is mostly academic. There are also no general customer cash rebates right now, so focus on comparing used asking prices and condition instead.

2025 Audi SQ7 trim level differences

For 2025, the Audi SQ7 comes in two trim levels: Premium Plus and Prestige. Both trims of this seven-passenger SUV come with a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (500 horsepower, 568 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard. Compare the 2025 Audi SQ7 trim levels in-depth.

Which SQ7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

In for a penny, in for a pound, and we suggest the top-tier Prestige trim. It doesn't cost a lot more than the standard version, and it brings with it some meaningful upgrades over the standard trim. Features like the cool new OLED taillights and the laser headlights, remote parking assist and a head-up display are only available on Prestige trims, as are some stand-alone options like the 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Competitors to consider

The 2025 Audi SQ7 isn't the only game in town if you want a three-row SUV that'll give you a good kick in the pants. The most natural rival is the BMW X7 M60i, which puts out 523 horsepower with its own turbocharged V8. Sticking with the Germans, the Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 has plenty of luxury and its V8 puts out 510 horsepower. If three rows aren't so important, the two-row Porsche Cayenne S is sportier. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to get our full report on the SQ7's performance, utility and more.

Edmunds spotlight: Performance that doesn't diminish utility

If you think we're kidding about the SQ7's performance, how does a 0-60 mph sprint in just 3.9 seconds sound? That outruns a Ford Mustang GT by nearly a half-second, and despite its beefy curb weight, the SQ7 can still stop and carve corners with surprising agility. Best of all, it's a practical family hauler with premium materials everywhere, comfortable seats, and a suspension that can still soak up bumps with ease.
