    Overview

    The Audi Q7 is a full-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured by Audi AG, first unveiled in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. As Audi's first SUV, it marked the brand's entry into a market segment that became increasingly central to the auto industry. The Q7 is a three-row, seven-seat vehicle built on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform, sharing its foundation with the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, and Volkswagen Touareg.

    Now in its third generation, the 2026 model features a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen above an 8.6-inch digital climate-control panel, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Standard driver-assistance features include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping, and parking sensors, with an available 360-degree camera and Remote Park Assist. The 2025 refresh brought updated exterior styling with new front and rear fascias, lighting, and 20- to 22-inch wheels, plus new metallic paint colors including Sakhir Gold, Ascari Blue, and Chili Red.

    Engine options for the current model include a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 producing 261 hp and a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 delivering 335 hp, both paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. The high-performance SQ7 variant offers a 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 with 500 hp. Fuel economy for the V6 is 20 mpg combined, while the four-cylinder achieves 22 mpg combined. Towing capacity ranges from 4,400 lbs for the four-cylinder to 7,700 lbs for the V6.
