Remember the year 2017? Back then, Apple debuted the X, fidget spinners briefly captured the attention of millions, and Despacito hit the airways. That same year, Audi introduced the second-generation Q7 SUV. It was a luxurious seven-row crossover with a strong engine lineup. Now for 2025, Audi has given the Q7 a facelift. It has an upgraded infotainment system, updated lights, and better materials. Still, competition has been fierce. In 2017, the Audi Q7 was one of the best luxurious three-row crossovers in the market. Let’s see if the Q7 is still one of the best.
With a long and low silhouette, the Audi Q7 looks more like a jacked-up wagon. This Q7 came with the $12,000 Prestige Package, which adds a multitude of options. At the front, an oversized grille is flanked by LED headlights and sensors for the safety systems. There are optional headlight washers along with lower separate grilles. This Q7 was finished in Tamarina Brown Metallic and included 21-inch 5-double-spoke wheels, which is a part of the $2,100 Black Optic package. All the trim and badging are painted black, giving this Q7 a sporty and stealthy appearance. The taillights are also LED, with a flat Audi badge and badges for Q7.
Still, the seats are incredibly comfortable. A wireless charger is under the center console but there isn't a lot of storage space throughout the cabin. Second-row seating is good and get their own climate controls, but third-row seating is very tight. Third-row seats are electronically controlled but they lower and higher very slowly. Still, buttons in the rear to higher or lower the air suspension are a nice touch. A Bang and Olufsen sound system comes with the Prestige Package and has excellent bass and treble. The panoramic sunroof lets in plenty of light. This may not have the most impressive tech, but the interior is nicely laid out and very comfortable for the first two rows.
Pricing for the Audi Q7 starts at $60,500. This being a German luxury SUV, there are plenty of options. The Prestige Package, priced at $12,100, adds 20" 5-double-spoke design wheels, all-season run-flat tires, a Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D sound system, comfort adaptive air suspension, dual-pane acoustic glass for side windows, four-zone automatic climate control, HD Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi laser light, a headlight washer system, a head-up display with traffic sign recognition, heated outboard rear seats, illuminated door sills, ambient interior lighting, leather upholstery for the upper dash, center console, and door armrests, and additional luxury features like power lumbar for rear seats, remote fold for the rear passenger seatbacks, a top-view camera system, and ventilation/massage functionality for the front seats. The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 3D sound adds $4,900, and the Black Optic package, which includes 21" 5-double-spoke module-design wheels with matte gray finish, all-season tires, anthracite gray Audi rings, and black exterior trim, is priced at $2,100. The all-wheel steering system is an additional $1,350, and the trailer hitch costs $750. All in all, this costs almost $89,000.
