2021 Audi SQ7 first drive review: This 500-horsepower SUV hauls more than family
Audi is late to the ridiculously powerful 3-row SUV party, but it’s showing up in a big way with this twin-turbo V8 and gobs of tech. Let’s see if this $100,000 hot-rod crossover can’t put the hurt on BMW and Mercedes.

Looks like a Minivan

I felt like this review was more of a walk around the vehicle and it’s features, not so much on how it drives, interior space etc

Between all the other German brands in this segment, it's Audi for me.

Americans want a 3 row suv to be louder?

$1200 plus for a wheel alignment.

Love Audi’s but how is this viable? How many families can afford to spend over one hundred thousand dollars on a vehicle really brand doesn’t matter. Buying this on the use market great until maintenance is required ( how much will this thing cost to fix?) a depreciating asset .

It's too low

Literally only Americans will call this a crossover

looks like a wagon – rad

This or the Grand Wagoneer at 100k? I sure know what I rather have.

This thing is really an impressive big beast. I saw one in black with black wheels, and it sounded mean and chunky. The only mistake Audi made was not releasing a S/RS version 10 years ago.

Looks more like a minivan than a SUV

I feel you’re not comparing the right cars. The Q7 should be compared to the BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE. (Not X7 and GLS).

Splitter !!!! 🤦🏻♂️… you must be kidding

Great review, as usual!
By the way, the "laser" headlights, just like BMWs, is a gimmick more than useful. They don't become active until 60mph, and even then, they don't illuminate any better than regular LEDs.
The matrix LEDs, on the other hand, found in Acuras, are fantastic. Intelligent. Self adaptive.
The Germans still go for gimmicks and nonsense instead of actual good, reliable, well engineered, products.
By the way, Audi's interiors used to be the best. Now, Genesis has them beat.
SUV with 500hp? I know some will appreciate it but in everyday driving, it's useless.
Barry Goldwasser
To answer your question. None of them.
They don't last. They're unreliable. Costly to maintain sand operate Depreciate like a sinking ship. You can pick any of those used in 3 year for less than half off. In 5 years, they cost just 35% of original price.
Get a Lexus.

The Mercedes GLS and and BMW X7 Are not even in the same category as the Audi Q7 , The Mercedes GLE with seven passenger configuration as well as the BMW X5 with Seven seat configuration are True competitors to the Audi Q7 I heard Audi May possibly bring out a Q9 full-size SUV to compete with the Mercedes GLS and BMW X7

I want to like the Q7, but it’s just waaay to wagon like for my taste. I prefer the more upright and athletic look of the XC90, Range Rover Sport or X5.

It's too low Looks like a Minivan

That front end isn’t working. Looks awkward and has bad angles.

What the hell have they done?! The styling is ugly. Seems to me the VW group got a new artist, but his art may appeal to himself, but most others not so much. Be buying the previous model, looks way better and save a lot of cash.

Honestly, I’d go for the 2021 RS6 Avant. That’s the ride for me. Not the “me too” CUV nonsense. A better center of gravity and about the same space inside (be honest, who’s actually using the third row all the time in something like this?)

EVs are just better. Do not buy this gas guzzling ICE lump.
Kishor Raj
Still meh.
Quaid McIver
Really nice sporty crossover. But not very attractive.

I really notice that 15 mm difference in ride height…. Right.

Lovely cars Audi's, but £40/50/60+k cars are not something you need. Having a £10/20k car and paying your mortgage off is something you need. FK Germany!

Dude, I don't usually comment, but let's just say I had to like and comment this video!
