Summary
Great build quality and rock-solid engineering put the Q7 very near the top of its segment.
Styling
Not Audis finest hour, but when youre trying to make a five meter, 2.5 tonne off-roader look graceful, the odds really are stacked against you. Looks best from the front.
Handling
Audis experience with air-suspension means the Q7 drives surprisingly well for such a big brute. Good resistance to body roll and sharp steering.
Comfort
The driving position is hard to fault while those in the back get a good deal thanks to the long wheelbase. Its a bit of a squeeze in the pop-up third-row chairs, but better than rivals.
Quality
Fit and finish is up to Audis usual high standards, with the cabin particularly impressive - a clear area of superiority over the M Class.
Performance
The 4.2-litre V8 is a corker and gives the Q7 a real turn of speed - at the cost of 10 mpg thirst under hard use. The lively 3.0 litre V6 TDI motor will be where the smart money goes. Other engines follow later.
Roominess
The boot looks shallow but theres actually reasonable room with the third row seats upright - and a huge loadspace with them collapsed.
Costs
Strong residuals should help protect your investment, but the Q7 is still an expensive beast to run - even with the respectably frugal diesel engine. 4.2 V8 should be left to professional footballers or eccentric millionaires.
Value
Relatively high entry-level pricing, but good standard equipment includes air suspension. Options are expensive.
Stereo
Even the most basic Q7 has an eight-speaker Bose set-up that sounds great. The DVD satnav is expensive, but looks great and works instinctively well.
