Audi Q7 (06 on) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 16 May 2006 Last Updated: 11 May 2010 The Q7 may be Audi's first full size 4x4 but like alternatives such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes M-Class it's firmly designed for staying on tarmac rather than tackling harsh terrain. Audi is famous for its quattro four-wheel drive system and has put its expertise to use with the Q7, however it lacks clever off road systems like the Land Rover Discovery. It's a big vehicle though and this translates into superb passenger space and seven-seats as standard while the air suspension ensures supreme comfort. It makes great family transport and it's stylish too - but it's not cheap to buy or run. In mid-2009 it was given a mild facelift while a cleaner 3.0-litre TDI was introduced. 4.5 out of 5 Other Audi reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £40,010 - £60,180 View all new prices Used price range: £11,785 - £86,240 View all used prices See 15 new models for sale from £36,105 Get an Audi Q7 (06 on) information pack Next steps Audi Q7 cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
