The first SUV released by Audi in 2006 was redesigned for 2009 and fixed most of the downsides found for its predecessor.
The Q7 was a combination of luxury, practicality and a good choice for larger families in need for a 3rd row of seats.
The base model 3.6 could accommodate up to 5 passengers. It was equipped with standard 18-inch wheels, power front seats, a good quality leather upholstery and a dual-zone automatic climate control.
The version offering room for 7 passengers came with 3 variants: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. The first trim level added a power liftgate to ease loading, a Bluetooth connectivity and other great features, while, the top of the range, the Prestige added xenon headlights, a blind spot monitor and voice recognition for both audio and navigation.
The engine range was varied, with 3 options to choose from: a 3.6-liter V6 that produced 280 hp, a 4.2-liter V8 with 350 hp and the new 3.-liter V6 with 225 and the highest torque offered across the range, 406 lb.-ft.
Safety wise, the Q7 offered ABS, a stability control system with hill-descent control, traction control, side and front airbags and an optional lane assist system.
The interior of the Q7 was luxurious with high quality materials used throughout the cabin.
