Used Audi Q7 for Sale

Another year has come and gone, yet the aging 2015 Audi Q7 continues to stay the course. The Q7 is a seven-passenger luxury SUV that features an upscale driving feel and a plush interior, but it hasn't changed that much since it was introduced in 2007. With newer rivals offering clear advantages in various respects, the 2015 Q7 is difficult to recommend. The Q7 is a vast, hulking beast, Hagrid on wheels relative to most normal cars and about as attractive too. To be fair, there are still some things to like about the 2015 Audi Q7. The interior really is quite nice, with high-quality surfaces and excellent build quality. A big part of what earned the Audi Q7 an Edmunds "B" rating involves its comfortable and quiet interior. As far as engines go, the optional TDI diesel-powered V6 delivers an impressive 28 mpg on the highway, along with a healthy wallop of torque for passing or hill climbing. The Q7 is also surprisingly nimble for such a large vehicle, inspiring confidence where some other three-row luxury SUVs would feel bulky and out of sorts. The base 3.0T engine serves up respectable passing power in the 2015 Audi Q7, while the more powerful S line version delivers extra punch with no penalty at the gas pump. Unfortunately, the penalty is pretty stiff to begin with -- the MDX, for example, gets 5 more mpg on the highway, and it's also a few tenths quicker to 60 mph. The pick of this litter is the TDI diesel, as it's relatively fuel-efficient and has plenty of torque for most situations. The Q7 is best on the open road. It is whisper-quiet on the inside (even with the diesel engine) and has surprisingly quick reflexes that make this big crossover seem smaller than it really is. The ride quality, however, may be a bit too firm for some shoppers, in which case we recommend the Prestige trim's optional air suspension with adjustable comfort settings.

Overall, I really enjoyed this vehicle. I appreciate vehicle features and this car doesn't disappoint. I drive...A LOT. As a special needs mom of 2, our Q7 has driven us all over town to therapies, doctors' appointments, school, etc. It is just 4 years old and is nearly 90,000 miles (purchased new). I love this car because it has the "umph" I need when accelerating quickly on a freeway, great brakes for those close-calls, and features to keep our family safe (blind-spot protection, lane departure warnings, 360 camera, great sight lines (minus the large A Pillar on the driver's side). With the third row folded down, I can regularly carry my child's stroller, extra supplies (diapers, wipes, clothes, towels, blankets, etc.) with ease. Second row seating is spacious and comfortable, but doesn't provide as much legroom as competing SUVs. The car has been very reliable for us, but we tend to only keep cars until 100K miles. Living in the hot desert environment, our Q7 has weathered the elements. Air conditioning blows ice cold very quickly and the cool seats are amazing. In the rare 40 degree day, I can rely on my heated seats and steering wheel for comfort. Personally, I also appreciate having the gas tank on the passenger side, since I feel the wait for a passenger side pump is less than driver's side. That being said, I was extremely disappointed to find that my Q7 could not be equipped with remote start. I feel that is a feature that is becoming more and more standard in vehicles.

My car is good looking. It has a big fuel tank. More space. Good mileage.
