2012 Audi Q7 SUV Pros & Cons

Audi Q7 SUV Pros and Cons

  The Audi Q7 does not disappoint when it comes to the styling and quality the brand is famous for.

  The variety of engines and trims makes it a very practical choice while maintaining a lot of opportunities for a buyer to personalize the vehicle.

  While the Q7 does not handle as well as many Audi's, it is impressively stable at high speeds.

  The Audi Q7 scores with IIHS safety tests, plus its standard safety equipment, make it an excellent choice for concerned parents.

  Fuel economy is respectable for a car that weighs 5,500 pounds and is as aerodynamic as a barn door.

  Driver-oriented interior layout makes the Q7 a pleasure simply to sit in.

  The Q7 is big, and, when compared to smaller SUV's, like the Q5, it can be more trouble than it's worth.

  The third row seats can be cramped for adults; in fact, the Q7 has a lot less interior volume than its competitors.

  The Audi Q7 has a surprisingly small amount of cargo room, even when the seats are folded down.

  It is unusual to have a full sized luxury SUV that cannot be equipped with a DVD entertainment system.

  The wide range of engines and trim levels to choose from means that buyers can easily wind up spending more money than they intended.

  While greener than a V8, the supercharged V6 subtracts a little from the overall prestige associated with the Q7.
