    The Q7 is FANTASTIC! I’m on my second one & absolutely love everything about it. I barrel rolled my first one over a concrete median (not my fault, as someone slammed into the front passenger side trying to cut me off) & I walked away from that crash🤯 The car was a complete loss/totaled & had massive damage (not quite as bad as Tiger Woods’ accident but close), but not a single interior panel collapsed in on us & my windshield, panoramic sunroof & back windshield didn’t even crack. The side windows broke but all airbags deployed properly & safely. Amazing! Plus, Audi has a lot of higher-end power so once your at 60mph it goes to 110 in half a second, lol😜 It also has the best adjustments for different size people without a bunch of blind spots. I won’t be driving anything else💙

      So, point being, BMW x5 not very far away from standard 5 series as many of you like to think,

    Sold my 8yo Q7 last October and bought a near-new Touareg. Had that for 8 months and now sold that for a 4yo SQ7. The Touareg is nowhere near only 10% down on the Q7 for noise, comfort etc. Not even close. More like 40%!!. My 8yo Q7 (with 97,000kms) was quieter, more comfortable, tighter with less rattles than the almost new Touareg. To say the Touareg was a disappointment is an understatement. Probably should have known better. The 4yo SQ7 I traded the Touareg for has only 25,000kms on it and is a monster! Love it!! Also for old school dudes like me, it is the last of the analogue dash (S)Q7s (which I love) it has a CD player (which I love), and it has a stonking great diesel engine (which I also love). Long live the Audi Q7/SQ7! PS: All three cars mentioned were air-suspension equipped.

      Nassta K what do you mean it feels cheap? Have you ever drive the new cayenne??? Porche has exactly the same quality parts as VW and I would strongly say as I drove it is very stiff and you feel every single crack of the plastics, especially next to steering wheel.
      Don’t be manipulated by the name PORCHE. Cayenne is not a Carrera.
      Anyway even if Cayenne was included a straight engine rear wheel drive BMW X5 looks much nicer all the way. Especially Porche cayenne has the look of 2009 Cayenne in the front and it is very ugly. In the back is ok. That’s my personal opinion anyway.

With it's new interior design and 6 cylinder engine (340ps to the Touareg's 231ps), once again I'd prefer the Cayenne over the Touareg.

It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist. Guaranteed you haven’t driven a BMW, ever. Even an AMG Merc can’t hold a candle to a BMW. Ya, they can make engines that make big power numbers, but so can’t every other manufacturer these days. Jesus, my Volvo XC90 has 400 horsepower and over 470+ lb-ft of torque!

My X5 can take corners better than most sedans.

    Great review Matt as usual. Owning a Q7 S-line 273hp with many additions inc 22" wheels. Hopefully these further comments will help people in comparing the models. Mine returns high 30's MPG which I can't complain about, I even get over 40 MPG if I drive sensibly and within the law. Tyre wear others mention I simply don't have, last pair was changed after 24k and was less than £400 for a pair fitted (mines not a four wheel steer). I know that's not cheap, but compare that to the BMW run-flats where you won't buy one for that. These are all not lightweight cars and that takes its toll on the rubber, that’s just physics. Had a disco before the Q7, but it spent more time in the dealer than my drive, but did have a superior lofty driving position (although not sporty at all) Other than the older very dated disco, no other SUV comes close to the Q7 middle row seating arrangement. I have 3 kids and very recently bundled them into all but the Merc, and the Q7 remained the best due to the entirely separate seating system (3 independent reclining and sliding seats). Gearbox is slower than others I've driven, but I've gotten use to it, one particular junction were there is a leap of faith needed, I just slip it into sport and the SUV takes off. Hopefully a useful insight from an owner.

      This is far from quality. He wanted all family cars to be sporty. He gives wrong messages to people. Somekne might beleuve him and drive fast and get killed for carwow desire of making every family car a sporty car while manufacturers don't do that nor we want that. Family cars are for comfy not sportiness. To be sporty u need suspension that will change the gane, u need the car to be lowered to the ground, u need light weight not family car. Wrong messages could kill someone thinking BMW SUV diesel car with 4 ir 6 cylinders are sporty and end up in a river

    Hi Matt, i have been following you with your car expeties, now that I'm embarking to buy another car at this moment. I'm still driving with my (SUV VW Tiguan 1st gen), to work, country drive over here in down under - Australia, and use the car mainly for my daily errands eventhough, this baby has aged but still drivable - safety of a road terrain etc. I always service my VW Tiguan is really amazingly fun & great to drive. Nevertheless, several yrs. from now, I'll be retiring so, I'm toasing of getting between (SUV BMW 3 & SUV MERC GLE). I have to take my time & think deeply not to rush cause my CAR) is my life. Overall much appreciated your invaluable time for sharing with your thoughts & advised of buying another car.💥🤗
    Kindly regards, Mary!

    Im a Q7 owner and I have a 2012 3.0t which I love but I have a few issues.
    1)Now the center console surface has begun to peel. 2) It downshifts too far on highway acceleration making it rev high without moving much.
    3) A little cramped for 4 good sized adults on long trips.
    4) annoying brake sensor wire connectors at the wheels need contact cleaned annually of dash lights up.
    5) When you move the rear view mirror the rain sensing wiper start moving for a sec.
    6) At max volume the stereo isn't that loud.
    7) No remote tailgate function. No front mounted tailgate close feature or button.
    8) The 290ho factory is under powered. Have to go stage 1 or 2 refresh to wake it up.
