2024 Audi Q7: Interior Design

The Audi Q7 boasts a luxurious cabin. Usage of the high-quality, plush materials inside the SUV feels great. You can see the dual-tone theme running inside the SUV with an all-black dashboard and cream finish for the seats and the doors. The dashboard has dual touchscreens with the upper 10.1-inch infotainment system consists of SUV Stats, Audio Control, Maps, Ambient Lights, and more. While the lower 8.6-inch screen controls the climate control but it’s placement is slightly lower and because of which, you’ll have to take a glance at it to change the temperatures while you’re driving, which isn’t good and recommended at all. Despite the haptic feedback, it can be distracting.

2024 Audi Q7: Space and Comfort

For an 5-Meter Size SUV, it sure as hell got tons of space to offer. The driver’s seat offers good visibility and comfort, middle row provides ample legroom and adjustable headrests, and the third row is suitable for children and mid-size adults for short trips. The seats of first and second row are wide enough for healthy individuals offering excellent comfort for long journeys. You can fold the third-row seats to increase the boot carrying capacity upto 865 Liters which is massive. With all rows upright, you get 295 Litres which is still a decent size boot. However, despite the Q7 being a flagship SUV for Audi, it should have been equipped with ventilated, heated, massage seats, among few others which contributes towards the relaxing and comfortable experience.

2024 Audi Q7: Drive Review

Having a luxurious SUV like Audi Q7 makes sense to take it for a long drive. We had the chance to do just that with the SUV, and here’s what we think. The Audi Q7 we drove was equipped with the 3.0 L 6 Cylinder 48V Mild Hybrid Petrol engine which delivers 246.58 BHP and 500 NM Torque paired to an 6 Speed Automatic Gearbox. When you drive efficiently on roads, it’ll deliver mileage of 11.21 KMPL per litre which is good for an SUV of its size. Moreover, it can sprint from 0 – 100 KMPH in just 5.9 Seconds at a top speed of 250 KMPH. What’s worth noting is that despite it cruising on highways at around 80+ KMPH, the NVH levels on the inside is very less all because of great cabin insulation.

Notably, the mid range is strong of this engine, and what it means is that the engine provides strong, and smooth acceleration during everyday driving situations like overtaking on highways or cruising at a moderate speed. it’s capable of delivering robust and efficient power during the most commonly used driving conditions. However, the SUV’s outright performance is just not present, but it’s the mid-range where it excels the most. There’s 7 Drive Modes on offer and with the Audi’s Quattro All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) System, the SUV takes advantage of all these modes including the Off-road Modes which allows the SUV to maximize traction and stability by adjusting engine, suspension and transmission settings.

Talking about the steering now, driving in the city is good as it benefits from lighter steering to manoeuver at low speeds such as parking or navigating through small spaces and heavy traffics. At high-speed driving, it still benefits weighted steering giving you the confidence to hit triple digit speeds as well as this provides better stability and control to maintain straight line speed. This also prevents oversteering and reduces sudden turning.

2024 Audi Q7: Ride and Handling

Moving on towards the Ride and Handling of the SUV. It’s equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension which is set on the softer side enhancing ride comfort and handling by automatically adjusting the ride height and stiffness while also providing smoother ride in city and stability at high speeds. Rough Sections, Bad Roads, doesn’t really bothers the passenger.

2024 Audi Q7: Verdict

Time for the verdict. Is this SUV worth your money? Well, it depends as even though it isn’t the most comfortable three-row SUV, it still has its own benefits with the offerings such as the smooth ride quality, premium materials inside, high on techs, loads of space until the 2nd row, robust, bulky and sharp looking SUV. The company’s name is enough to attract more customers, plus given it’s priced way lesser than its rivals, it’s surely worth buying in many ways.
