The second generation of the largest Audi SUV was launched in 2015 and it had more power, less weight and a lot of technology inside.
The Q7 has received a new shape and it looked more like an expanded station wagon rather than an SUV. The big headlights can be equipped with full LEDs for better visibility on the road. The windshield has been angled a little bit more for a better aerodynamic shape and the rear looks like a regular Audi Avant.
Inside, there are a lot of improvements, starting with the optional Audi Virtual Cockpit display that replaced the regular instrument cluster and a new ventilation system with a large air-vent across the dashboard. The pop-up screen for the infotainment system is a nice way to hide the tablet, which can be accessed via a touch-pad in front of the gear-lever. There is room for up to seven passengers, even if the last row is not quite spacious for people over 1.80 m (6 ft). The trunk is big and if second and third rows are folded, there is room for everything. It can be used for a mobile tent too.
Under the hood, there are a lot of engine choices. The European loved the 3.0 TDI version, which was a very good option in terms of price vs. performance and fuel-efficiency. The standard transmission is an 8-speed automatic gearbox. After all, the car's platform was the Volkswagen MLBevo, which can be found in the Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga, and Lamborghini Urus.
