The devil is in the details.

Let’s start with the good stuff. The Q7 is a beautiful vehicle, handsome on the outside and beautiful inside a German, minimalist style. The seats are comfortable and there is lots of room. Visibility from the cabin is excellent, especially for my wife who is not tall. Cargo space is good. We were able to pick up 5 family members each with a large suitcase and carry on. Almost all systems are controlled on one of two touch screens. It takes some time to learn your way around, however. Once you figure it out, getting around is logical. We have the 2.0 liter engine which delivers good power and reasonable fuel economy for our purposes. Handling is tight and sharp. The ride is firm but comfortable. It is the sort of experience that you would expect from a German luxury vehicle. The screens including the speedometer and tach can be configured for different drivers. Before starting the car, the driver must select the profile that he or she wants. That can be good or a nuisance depending on your point of view. Ah, but the devil lurks inside. The lane keeping assist is really unacceptable. It kicks in too often and too aggressively. When pulling out to pass pedestrians, bicyclists, or stopped vehicles, it actively resists the maneuver trying to push the vehicle back into the danger area. It even resists turning into a curve on the road aggressively. I can easily imagine it causing a driver to respond improperly resulting in an accident. The backup camera lens is useless in the rain. Unlike other vehicles, airflow causes moisture to accumulate on the lens making the view opaque. The driver has to get out of the car and dry it before using it to back up. The center console is useless for storage. Under the armrest there is a pad for wireless phone charging and a small shallow tray good for a pen or two. That is all. There is no additional space for change, or other items that drivers typically carry in their cars. The door pockets, by the way, are very skinny compared to other vehicles. The cupholders in the center console are only large enough to fit a cup the size of a Yeti thermal cup. Don’t plan on carrying any large or off shape containers. The cupholders in the middle row are even smaller and almost useless. The owners manual was probably written by German engineers who speak excellent English. For example, the map light ca me on spontaneously one evening. The owners manual had instructions on how to turn it off on several different Audi models, none of which was a 2023 Q7. None worked on this vehicle. After 15 minutes of fiddling with the thing, the light went out. The bottom line, we will not be getting another Audi—or other VW based product. We are four months into a 3 year lease and would love to get out of it.

2023 Audi Q7 review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2023 Audi Q7?

The Audi Q7 is the German luxury brand’s largest SUV. It comes standard with a 261-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive and room for up to seven people in three rows. A mild-hybrid system aids the Q7’s fuel efficiency, but this SUV’s standout feature is the design and quality of its elegant cabin. A 335-hp, turbocharged V-6 is optional, with a 500-hp, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 in the high-performance SQ7 variant. If you need to haul lots of people and are constantly in a hurry, this could be the luxury SUV for you. The Q7’s rivals include the BMW X7, Genesis GV80, Lincoln Aviator, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and Volvo XC90.

What’s New on the 2023 Audi Q7?

A new 261-hp, turbocharged mild-hybrid four-cylinder provides a 13-hp boost over the outgoing standard powertrain. Other changes are mostly related to trim and feature shuffling: Adaptive cruise control with lane departure steering assist is now included with the Convenience Package, and LED matrix headlights are optional on the mid-range Premium Plus trim and standard on range-topping Prestige. Two new 22-inch alloy-wheel designs are available.

What Features in the 2023 Audi Q7 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 1-inch infotainment screen
  • 6-inch climate control screen
  • Power liftgate
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • Leather seating
  • Heated front seats
  • Audi Virtual Cockpit with 12.3-inch digital instrument panel
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Navigation
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • Bang & Olufsen stereo
  • 360-degree camera system
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Soft-closing doors
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Adaptive cruise control

Should I Buy the 2023 Audi Q7?

The Audi Q7 is a premium SUV that blends respectable agility with all-season grip thanks to standard Quattro all-wheel drive. The base four-cylinder is reasonably peppy and fuel-efficient, though it lacks the punch some expect in an SUV starting around $60,000. The optional turbo V-6 has both lively acceleration and some noticeable lag when you punch the gas pedal. Impeccable cabin quality is one of the Q7’s main attractions; everything looks and feels top-notch. Having a third row of seats is convenient, even if it’s best suited for kids.
