2017 Audi Q7 review

1. Flexible passenger space 

If you have kids, pets, and friends who regularly join you for adventures, you’ll appreciate the versatility of the cabin in the 2017 Audi Q7. The SUV seats seven, with three seats in the second row and two in the third row. What makes the 2017 Q7 unique is that each seat can independently fold flat. That means you can put down the middle second-row seat to give Fido a place to sit, or fold the second and third rows on the passenger side to fit longer cargo while still maintaining passenger space on the driver’s side.  

2. Strong engines 

You want a practical car, but you still want to have fun while driving. The 2017 Audi Q7 can make that a reality thanks to its strong engine options. The 2017 Q7 comes standard with a 252-hp 2L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. For more power, choose a 2017 Q7 with the 333-hp 3L supercharged V6, which is an available option on the Premium Plus trim and standard on the Prestige trim. Both engines come with standard AWD.  

3. Great performance 

No matter what engine you choose, navigating through traffic or around tight mountain roads will be a breeze thanks to the 2017 Audi Q7’s available performance features. The 2017 Q7 handles well at all trim levels, but for the best performance choose the Prestige trim with the available Adaptive Chassis package. That adds four-wheel steering to keep your turning circles impressively tight and adaptive air suspension to ensure a smooth ride no matter how bumpy the road.  

4. Towing power 

Whether you’re bringing your pony for a trail ride or your jet ski to the lake, you’ll appreciate the 2017 Q7’s towing capacity. With the standard 252-hp four-cylinder engine, the 2017 Q7 can tow up to 4,400 pounds when properly equipped.

5. Driver assist features 

If you spend lots of time commuting, you’ll want to take advantage of the available driver assist features on the 2017 Audi Q7. The base Premium trim comes standard with forward collision warning and emergency braking, while the Premium Plus adds blind-spot monitoring and side-exit warning. To get the most tech, choose the Prestige trim with the available Driver Assistance package, which adds adaptive cruise control, stop sign recognition, and more.
