Audi Q7 design and interior
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's 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.

Spare wheel compromised
The Q7 features a wide grille with vertical chrome accents, intricate LED Matrix headlamps, and sportier bumpers with faux metal panels. New 20-inch wheels enhance its stance along with a 3000mm wheelbase and five-meter length. Rear updates include LED tail lamps and trapezoidal exhaust tips.
7
The front seats are comfortable and ideal for long drives. The middle row is spacious with adjustable seats. Rear features include four-zone climate control, sunblinds, and a panoramic sunroof. The third row suits kids on short trips but lacks AC. No spare wheel on offer sadly—only a puncture repair kit.
7
The Q7’s 3.0-litre, 340hp turbo-petrol V6 is smooth yet rapid, hitting 0-100kph in 5.6 seconds. The 8-speed automatic gearbox shifts effortlessly. It cruises at 100kph just above 1500rpm, with a raspy exhaust note near redline. Refined and powerful, it covers long distances with ease.
8
With a V6 turbo-petrol engine, the Q7 claims 11kpl but a large 85-litre tank allows it to have less stops between pumps. We also had the Q7 as a long termer, where it achieved 7kpl in the city and around 10kpl on the highway.
7
The Q7’s engine and gearbox work smoothly, but its adaptive air suspension in ‘Comfort’ mode feels too soft, causing noticeable movement and nose-dive under braking. Using ‘Individual’ mode with a firm suspension setting improves stability. The soft suspension excels on rough roads, while quattro ensures steady grip, though handling isn’t sporty.
8
Inside, the Q7 features a new dark open-pore wood panel on the dashboard and doors. The dual-screen setup offers crisp resolution but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t wireless.Features like ventilated seats and a comprehensive ADAS suite are also missing but it does include lane keep assist, Overall, while still premium, the Q7 misses some key modern features buyers now expect at this level.
7
The updated Q7 starts at Rs 88 lakh, with the top Technology trim priced at Rs 97 lakh (ex-showroom, India). While the top model competes with the more modern Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5, the lower-spec Q7 offers better value. It features a comfortable ride, spacious and high-quality interiors, and a smooth V6 engine. Ideal for those who prefer being chauffeured without hassle, the Q7 is a refined and comfortable cruiser.

Trending Questions on Audi Q7 - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am using an Endeavour 2.2 (2019) and now want to add a luxury car under ₹1 crore. Which is the best option?
I’m looking for a family car for five people with a comfortable rear seat, strong driving character, and good resale value. My budget is around ₹90 lakh. I’m torn between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi Q7. Please help me decide.
If your requirement is to carry five people, then the answer is definitely an SUV.
While the Mercedes-Benz E Class has one of the best back seats for the money, it is designed to be best for two people and not three.
The Audi Q7 is a good option, which also gives you the flexibility of a third row of seats. It's got a smooth and refined V6 petrol engine, comfortable air suspension, and though it is a bit old now, the latest update introduced about a year ago means it has most modern creature comforts.
Bear in mind, however, that it is likely to go a little over your budget of Rs 90 lakh, but if you can manage the stretch, it is definitely the better choice.
Among the Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, and Land Rover Velar, which is the better choice overall?
Though they fall in a similar price range, these SUVs offer very different propositions. The Range Rover Velar is primarily focused on style. It has sleek looks, a low roof and a minimalist interior with high-quality materials.
However, it is not as practical or spacious as the others. The cabin is smaller, and it only gets five seats. It is also the only one of the three to offer a diesel engine. Overall, it feels better from the driver’s seat than the rear seat.
The Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 are larger SUVs with 5+2 seating. The third row is best for kids, but it still adds some extra practicality. The Q7 uses a 340hp, 3.0-litre V6 turbo-petrol engine, which offers more effortless power. The XC90 uses a 250hp, 2.0-litre 4-cyl mild-hybrid petrol engine, which is more fuel-efficient. The Volvo also offers more features than the Audi.
All three are excellent SUVs, so the best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences.
I want to buy a new car for a family of five, but occasionally we need seating for seven. I need a luxurious and spacious car. What would you suggest?
Budget will determine your options:
- Sub-₹20 lakh: Kia Carens Clavis
- ₹25-30 lakh: Mahindra XUV700
- ₹30-35 lakh: Toyota Innova HyCross
- ₹50-55 lakh: MG Gloster
- ₹60-65 lakh: Land Rover Discovery Sport
- Around ₹1 crore: Audi Q7
- ₹1 crore plus: Mercedes-Benz GLS
