I reviewed the second generation 2017 Audi Q7. While it is nice, it was honestly a bit disappointing for the money. Here's why...

I agree, the Q7 is not necessarily exciting or sporty. This is NOT the purpose of the car. It was created as a comfortable, quiet, luxurious vehicle. The Q8 was made for people who prefer a sportier drive, or even the smaller Q5. You can't tell people not to purchase a vehicle because it "isn't fun", when the purpose of the vehicle is geared toward comfort.
Yea I’m 27, and I’m looking to get a Q7, after owning a Lexus is350 I want a luxurious spacious vehicle, I’m 6’1 and just want something big , like real big and nice looking, I don’t want a truck though.
I have a Q7 2017 prestige.
@@ExceptionalLibra any issues I should look out for?
@@305vlogz2i have the Audi q7 2015, it is a really good car, just be carful of oil leaks, they could get oil leaks a lot, for example my oil cooler was leaking oil and i had to get it replaced.
@@feras3397 oh nice ! Thanks ! I hear bad stories about bmw and Mercedes but mixed with Audi so I’m kind of just collecting peoples experiences
The Q7 is probably one of the best SUVs on the market. I agree that this particular Q7 didn't look that nice inside, but the quality and tech onboard is outstanding.

I love mine!!
This goes against almost every other review I've read of this car vs it's rivals, many of which say it's the best in class. It's a luxury SUV, it's not supposed to be exciting, it's supposed to be relaxing and high quality.
If you want something more exciting, try the SQ7

BBDSmint but its boring
BBDSmint exactly
BBDSmint i agree
I've had one, i can tell you its boring. Its a nice SUV but its german and lacks character, i can't explain it.... this is a car for your mum to drop kids at school in other than that its a bit mehhh has nothing that makes you excited about it apart from the prestige.
I'm watching this in a Q7 lol 😂
lol
Me too
Same!

SEC ROW SEATS
I just traded my 2016 MB GL450 for a 2018 Q7 Prestige…huge difference in quality of materials, ride and performance. The GL450 was unstable when going over any imperfections such as manhole covers…the car will dart a few inches to the side. Not something I expected in a Mercedes Benz with an air ride suspension. The MB has a plastic feeling throughout the interior, fit and finish is subpar and the entire interior creaks when pulling into a driveway or or over larger bumps, even at low speeds. The GL450 downshifts hard when slowing down, especially from 5th to 4th.
The Q5 by comparison has a far more solid ride, firm but also forgiving over similar bumps and holds its ground when going over potholes or mancovers. No rattles, no creeks…just a nice ride. The interior feels like quality throughout. Seating is comfortable with heated and cooled seats and excellent positioning. The Bose stereo far out performs the Harmon Karden that is in the Mercedes.
I’m the end, the 2018 Q7 feels like a nice luxury SUV and the Mercedes GL450 didn’t have the features or ride that my 2011 Acura MDX had with twice the miles. That was my first Mercedes…a major disappointment. I’m willing to give them another chance, but I’ll look much more closely next time before pulling the trigger…I owned the GL450 just 2 months before deciding it had to go.
The GL45” is definitely a roomier car with better third row seating, but 2nd row seating in the Q7 includes reclining seats that almost lay to down…comfortable enough to sleep. The rear of the GL450 is long enough to run golf clubs fore and aft with the 3rd row reclined, where the Q5 would require you to put them in on an angle. A small price to pay even though that was initially important to me.
Both cars had electric folding third row seats, the GL450 included electric folding second row where the Audi was manual, but easy to use…my thought is it’s less to break. I went to recline the second row seats in the GL450 a few days before trading it and the cheap plastic lever broke off in my hand…disappointing.
Though there’s a two year difference between these cars, the Audi clearly is the winner…thinking about it, I prefer the 2011 Acura MDX I sold just before buying the Mercedes over the GL450…that’s just sad. The GL450 is a good looking SUV, but that’s about all it had going for it…and the interior was just disappointing across the board and looked like a 2009 car, not a 2016.
Thank you for information. So now I can buy Q7 with peace of mind.
I am planning to buy a used one. How is it reliability?
@@jackryder6732 3.0T is pretty solid.

The Q7 looks far better in black with the S-line pack. Similar story with the Q5 which is a smart looking car, but only in darker hues.
Parker, in this video I can not agree with you. Audi did an amazing job with this vehicle. Its not a exicing vehicle- because it is not its mission. This is a SUV, supposed to carry children to and from school, and in that regard it is amazinhly good. Its also better to drive than any other competitor, it does everything more than well!
Bro you was so wrong in this review..this suv is just perfect, so there are tons of reasons to buy it...you get the most pleasant ride , you get the towing capacity in case you need it (7700 pounds) ,you get the more than adequate acceleration, you get the refinement of the audi brand, you also get probably the best AWD system in the industry.
Terrible Review! I hope he doesn’t do this for a living.
Bought my 2017 premium plus with winter package in 8/16 and absolutely love it. This SUV shines. This kids a goof. What does HE does he Drive day to day?
my dads dream car. I wish to buy him one , one day
Reminds me how i was going to buy a 2016 red s1000rr for myself this summer but instead i'm planning to spend it at all for my dad's dream car on his birthday which is a ford kuga..
Anthony N your father should be proud of you and an early congrats. Just make sure he does not read your comment. lol. oh and instead of getting a 2016 s1000rr you will hopefully get a 2017. best of luck.
Bike Life Good Luck man, hope you can do it!
Bike Life but this video is anout why not to buy. lol
Murica thanks
Okay... so you're driving a $90k version with the $4k luxury package and air suspension among a lot of other ultra nice options that aren't really necessary. At that price, the car comes with a lot of features that are "nice" but not really necessary.
You can get a Q7 for $67k which has Quattro, the 3.0 supercharged engine, Virtual cockpit, surround view camera, google earth, full LED Headlights and more. At $67k, this is the nicest combination among its competitors.
You can get an X5 with better performance but not quite as nice or spacious, and you can get a Mercedes but it's not quite as performance oriented.
I think it's not fair to compare the top of the line car which has all the extras no one cares about. Most people go for the Premium Plus with Vision package or just a basic Prestige with HUD and everything else. That's the better value. Maybe that makes it a better competitor?
You never mentioned the seating. One of the main reasons families purchase a 7 passenger suv is for the space it provides
I own one and I love it!
yes it is one of the insane car wow car
How’s the repairs been have things gone wrong? It’s still running great?
@@ng5279 I have the 2016 model, 45 TFSI(V6), have not got any problems yet.
@@ng5279 no problems brilliant drive
Me too. Awesome SUV
Let's see....quiet, comfortable, handles well and is quick relative to its size, spacious second row seating, plenty of cargo capacity, great tech and safety features, high quality interior...yep, it's a real dog in the luxury SUV class. You don't need the $6k upgrade leather or the $5k B&O sound system packages. The Prestige package interior is perfectly fine and the accompanying Bose sound system is very good, so you can get the Q7 well equipped with the air suspension/rear steering, cold weather package, and the adaptive cruise driver assistance package for around $73k. Not cheap, but well below $89k.
I have to disagree with most of your view points. Especially when we are talking about SUV. This car has that famous Quatro system and height that makes it a great car on off-road as well. If you watch serious tests off-road comparing the Q7 to other brands including the BMW X3, X5, Mercedes-Benz ML, GLE, GLC etc, Porsche Macan, and so on, the Q7 is a true winner out of all these cars. And putting the interior design to the top as well. I am more of a fan of the 1st gen Q7 as for the exterior but the interior looks much better here.
It goes to "Park" automatically when you turn it off. Actually you don't need to press that button a lot. Imo, the Q7 is a splendid SUV. The comfort is as good as in a premium saloon and the driving performance is very good regarding the weight of almost 2.2tons (7 seater version)
5 Things I Hate About Parkers New Sunglasses
I love my first generation Q7
Most consumers who buy a Q7 are looking for high quality with understated elegance, not necessarily flashy. Performance is not a priority for the majority of Q7 buyers because it is an SUV. I suspect that most Q7 drivers will use it to haul their families and big box store purchases, not for qualifying times at the track. I suspect that most Audi buyers that want performance cars will buy one from the S line.
I bought this vehicle, and it is absolutely fantastic!
It's not just "redesigned", it's a completely new car. Everything is completely different from the previous generation!
There are still no competition in the luxury tier SUV when you gotta fit 3 child seats to the back. This has 6 ISOFIX points.
If I will ever buy me a new car, I will explicitly ask for an analogue tachometer. Also, is the sunroof retractable or tiltable?
Wow Parker, i strongly disagree. as a huge audi fan and car enthusiast i think the new platform is amazing. i think you are overly harsh and one piece of plastic should not be the deciding factor. also, as an owner of the 2017 a4 and the q7 the park button is completely normal to me. you are simply not used to it so it feels weird (and i can understand that). i generally love your videos but this was just downright harsh and cruel to audi, the top german manufacturer. i hope you read this so that you can try and argue your opinion.
Jack Harwood You're just mad cause he doesn't like your cars, and for 80 grand they can cover the plastic
Insane S60 i love the a4. the dual clutch transmission is so fast. it shifts on a dime. it is the fastest car in its class. a whole second faster then the c300. the technology is also top of its class. they also just came out w a manual so im actually trading mine in for the 6 speed. so if u like manuals then defintely go for it
Jack Harwood Top German? Lol
I agree with you man.
Right he doesn't even realize how much he pisses off Audi Fans
I just brought a Audi Q7！I love it
AndyS99 now that you e driven your car awhile what do you think?
I'm looking to get an 2010 Q7
I bought one last year to replace my BMW F30 335d.
Didn't like it originally but a year on, it's really grown on me. Good performance, fantastic ride, and loads of room. And for a big lump, the cornering is incredible. I don't have any plans to sell it any time soon, which is very unusual for me!
This winning punk would not know a great car if it ran him over. My Q7 drives like a sports car and can easily tow my 5000 pound boat. He gives it a great review then tells you not to buy the car. Get a prestige with air shocks and stay away from extra costs for the luxury package and the $5000 stereo for low $70,000 range. I drove all the competitors and the Q7 blows them away.
Well said!
Hey Parker, do you need help with editing? As a fellow video editor I can see that some of the quality is lacking.
Isn't the sound system on the XC90 better?
I have the exact same car but 2019 and I don't want anything else ,curious as to what your personal vehicle is?
ya the SQ5 is going to be the great one! I loved the old Q5/Q7 when I drove them- but even in dynamic mode, on this new one, I titled my video "make dynamic mode, dynamic again" because it was just so numb, especially the electric steering.
DFWs Cars
put it in dynamic and then switch to sport mode. The sport mode toggle on the Q7 is on the shifter.
I noticed this too and then found the sport button and was like "oh, that's better"
So drop the B&O stereo, night vision, and massage seats and you're down to $75k which is very reasonable for the segment. Or just get a nicely equipped one for the low $60s.
Woah 600k congrats!
I'm very very pleased to say that I'm picking my new 2018 Q7 tomorrow morning. Parker, you got it right when you stated that the 2017 Q7 was a big deal, because it is, but you got it wrong with your negative comments. You're crying about the park button? Seriously? It's an awesome ride which doesn't go well with your review. Also Parker, it's a large luxury SUV and NOT meant to be like your Lamborghini. Get it right dude.
3 litre V6 TFSI. TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection. Are you sure it's supercharged?
5:54 Rip headphone users.
Jaden Sanderson. #OwwwwwwThatHurt
I've just ordered an audi Q7 3.0 tdi e tron 2017, and now im watching this
Its easy to find flaws in a luxury car when you live a luxury life style every day. I would be so happy to have a new audi q7, over my 2014 impala any day 😏
I really like the outside design tho, nice clean sharp lines, great looking lights in the front and back. For the price it should have a little more power for sure. For the price price its better just to jump up to the Porsche
I agree about the dash and door panels. It Europe they actually wrap the dash and upper door panels in leather!
Try getting your hands on an LFA ;) would like to see that
You've had very very uneven soundlevels for a few videos now .. YOu planning on fixing that? Because for us headphone users it get's very loud at the beginning of each cut..
I had very bad rattles on the Q7 from roof, 2nd row seats, and dashboard. The problems were ongoing and audi couldn't fix it. I ending up trading the car in for a Lexus
You don't need to use the park button, you can just turn off the engine and it parks automatically
Parker have you tried putting colder spark plugs in #M5 Turbo? #M5
does anyone knows what's the song's Name in the beginning..thank you in advance.
I totally agree, nice review
Totally agree. I prefer the previous more elegant design. The new design looks like it's trying to hard almost retro.
Watching this video while in my 2017 Audi Q7
Basically a 12year old reviewing an adults car 😂
One of the best suvs out there
hey mr virgin, if you dont prefer q7 just give it To me
do you recommend the volvo xc90?
He praises the hell out of the Q7, then proceeds to tell you its not good. Whatever. And why do people complain about SUV not being sporty or quick? It's an SUV, people!! If you want sporty, get a sport sedan or an actual sports car, like an BMW M3, Toyota Supra, etc.
Did Vineyard Vines start sponsoring you or did you wake up one day and decide to look like every frat guy?
Please do more "Things I love about..." videos! But still keep making the "Things I hate about" videos
can you do a review of the Q3 and Q3 Sline..
I have a 2015 s4 right now, might get a sq5 in couple years
Happy easter!
Please make video of the new 2017 Acura MDX
@7:38 "...Nothing about this SUV really wows me," says the tester who just lauded; the LED exterior lights, B&O sound-system, weight-loss (vs prior model), interior quietness, heated/cooled/massaging front seats, virtual-cockpit dash/maps, second-row room, etc. What exactly did you want from this full-sized luxury SUV that wasn't delivered? Sounds like a personal bias to me.
At 23,000 it’s a tremendous value now 😎
Come on man, comparing to Model X... Seriosly?! That's a pure electric car and ofcorse it's freaking quick.
Why is the premium trim the base? There is nothing premium about base.
The Tesla model x starts at $85k, the one you reviewed was the most expensive option they provide.
A lot of car reviewers say that this is better then gls and xc90
Imad Ghauri like nobody ever
Imad Ghauri such as? Haha i have never heard, even jeremy clarkson him self said that there is no reason to choose the q7 over xc90
FsAviX - prove where JC said that. You have made that up mate.
haha hes a comedian
drove them all Q7 quicker not buzzy like the 4 cyl, XC90
Them audio level tho...
With EVERY take, the vocals jump a huge amount, then level out. Not sure if your using a compression plugin, but please do. IF you are, please adjust you attack and release
hey do a review of the Toyota land cruiser ( take it off roading ) and Mercedes Benz GLS 63 or GLS550 ( and maybe take it off road)
If you are judging the car based on the price: this car he is reviewing is the highest trim level q7 with a lot of options. The car starts at around 50k.
hey parker nice video
Heya guys !! emphasize really like this uesult according :]
What kind of shades are those? You get a subscription for the shades man! Love the reviews by th way.
Here on Greece we have a full moon tonight you have to reply :)
I think it's worth it
I want to get this as a family SUV.
Why am I still subscribed to this channel?
The audio sounds kind of weird. Why so much sudden burst of volume.
could u review the Mercedes GLS?
so if i love sq7 i need to not buy it?
Good thing it tells you how far ahead the car in front of you is, Audi drivers don't know how close is too close
thanks, man!
what sunglass you got
I like it a lot, but, I agree, a few better materials selections could have made it much nicer.
For instance, I tested the Prestige level. It had the grey suede on the doors, which was nice. Then the guy tells me that pistachio is an option. I thought "Wow, a nice pistachio green suede would look fantastic!". Then I learn, pistachio is beige for them. For a prestige package - beige is boring boring boring.
In fact, their choices of exterior paint colors were white, white, grey, grey, brown, black, and another grey. No blue - no red - no orange - no yellow. No colors at all that would make it cool. I thought they missed not putting military drab green as a choice.
My theory is that Audi has a color blind designer. That is the only explanation for no choices of real colors. Grey, white, and black are NOT colors - they are shades of non-color.
Purchased a Q7 for my wife and she loves it.
I love my 2017 3.0T Q7
what are some of your favorite cars parker
So, if we "SHOULD NOT" buy a Q7 what do you recommend? The review was missing that big piece of information, I think you could have added content to show the usefulness to the demographic it's geared towards. The typical person driving this is going to have kids, use it to run errands and go to and from work. I don't necessarily think they will care about a using paddle shifters and how fast they can go. The plastic looking dash, yes, I can see where they could have improved that. The gear shift parking button, is personal preference, my S4 has it and I don't mind it at all. I personally have driven a Q7 and for what it's intended use is, it's a great SUV.
whats the song at the begining?
The rubber-plastic cover can be changed to leather, atleast its a option here in Sweden, dont know about the US
You mentioned volkwagen twice in the platform bit
since when are Volkswagen and VW different things?
Can someone tell me why the headlights/tail lights are always flashing in videos. I have yet to figure that out. Can someone tell me lol
Danny Abifalah simply put, LED's flicker a certain amount per second, the camera records at certain frames per second usually they're out of sync and you'll have this flashing effect. Same reason why wheels seem like they're going backwards in videos
W Al thank you!!! Make so much more sense.
