The Audi Q7 looks like a modern station wagon on stilts rather than a butch 4x4. Its styling takes advantage of the large 20 inch wheels with flared fenders, Audi signature ‘Singleframe’ octagonal grille, sophisticated Matrix LED headlights, and sporty looking bumpers with twin exhaust tips at the back. While its overall design is smart yet understated, the intimidating size of the Q7 gives it a solid stance.

The Q7 interior boasts loads of space for occupants and luggage based on how the seats are configured. A powered third row and tailgate make loading or unloading cargo easier, while leather seats offer excellent comfort on long drives. Enhancing comfort is four zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, manual sunblinds, multi coloured ambient lights, and adaptive air suspension. Not only are there three digital screens, but quality levels are high too.
