engine available
Precision steering
An engaging driving experience

A radar-activated cruise
control system
Heads-up Display (HUD)
Memory setting for the
driver’s side only (unlike Mercedes-Benz, which duplicates the setting for the
passenger side)
Rear heated seats
A premium audio system
21-inch wheels available
When second and third row are folded flat - extra utility space created
No manual extender for the three row front seats
Third
row seating provides minimal legroom
When all three rows are occupied, cargo room is limited
There
was no brake hold feature on the vehicle
No
wireless charging
No
co-pilot assist steering feature
When headrests of third row seats are in use, it will impede rear vision
Those
features range from an augmented reality in cluster navigator system to a four-zone ventilation system to heated second row seats
to the latest safety driving aids to a high-end audio system.
In
our opening description, we referred to the Q7 as a quasi-three-row crossover
due to the cramped power folding three row. This vehicle is designed more so to
be a spacious two-row crossover with exceptional cargo storage. While the vehicle should be compared to other three rows like Mercedes-Benz's GLS and BMW's X7, in terms of interior capacity it seems more aligned with the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5.
For
a starting price of $57,000 those seeking a premium crossover can have access
to the German engineered vehicle.
Competition: Acura MDX; BMW X5; Mercedes-Benz GLE and Volvo XC90
