2021 Audi Q7: Luxury Carseat Convenience | CAR MOM TOUR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- Today I take a look at the 2021 #Audi #Q7. This luxury car really impressed me! The second row bench is one of the roomiest out there, making it a great pick for families trying to fit multiple car seats. The third row was a little disappointing in size and it was difficult to access. I enjoyed the luxury and comfort features (minus the cupholders and LAME center console.)
The drive is classically German from its tight handling to instant acceleration. I also would like to have a few more safety features standard in the car, while they are available they come at a premium price.
What do you think!?

A few things:
We own one of these. a 2018 Prestige. We moved up from an Audi Q5 so we could haul a camper and have more space for luggage.
1. The center console being small is due to the layout of the engine and transmission. This vehicle and the Atlas are base on the same vehicle underneath, but the Atlas is predominantly front-wheel-drive and if equipped with all-wheel-drive, can send some power to the back. With the Audi, its All-Wheel-Drive all the time sending as much or as little power needed to each of the four wheels to keep the car stable and safe in slick weather. That engine and transmission take up more space under the center console resulting in less space for things.
2. The third row of most SUVs is never meant for adults unless it's in an absolute desperate pinch. If you need to carry 7 adults, you need a minivan or a suburban.
3. You can get window shades for the rear that are built into the door and are a must in my opinion.
4. A pre-facelift 2017-2019 Q7 will give you all the luxury and style, with fewer screens and more traditional buttons(which I love). Still has the digital dash, but the rest of the front dash has knobs and buttons for climate and a screen that pops up for infotainment controlled by a very conveniently placed rotary knob just ahead of the shifter.
5. When looking at this car, many who are not familiar with Audi vehicles will wonder why the added expense for a vehicle that does largely the same work of a much cheaper Japanese, Korean, or American SUV. The reason in my mind is that this is a german vehicle built for german roads. That includes the Autobahn, a "no-speed-limit" highway system that requires a vehicle that can maintain very high speeds, brake from very high speeds, and survive a collision at very high speeds. It's overbuilt for American roads, which means it's very safe and extremely capable. The atlas may feel similar, but it is built specifically for the American market(Not sold or built in Europe).
6. The non-auto folding third row is a safety issue. If it was one-touch, you could pinch a small child, pet, or fragile item that may still be in the third row. The added risk was the reason one-touch was not offered.
7. The 3.0L V6 engine is supercharged (makes significantly more power thanks to this). Power of a large engine with the MPGs of a small engine. Worth considering and we personally see real world city mileage of between 18 and 21 depending on how lead-footed myself or my wife are.
8. Back to the towing capacity. It wasn't mentioned, but that is another HUGE reason to go for this car over an Atlas, Telluride, Pilot, or other large SUV excluding American suvs. This can tow a maximum of 7,700 pounds (medium size travel trailer) with ease. The other suvs that are predominantly front wheel drive suffer from very low towing capacities of around 2-3,000 pounds (a small pop-up camper or small boat. Something to think about if you don't have or want to own a truck in addition.
There are positives and negatives to the Q7. We love ours for all the reasons stated above. If those are not important to you, then other SUVs are available with just as much tech and safety for a lower admission price.
... I don't know why I'm here ... but I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Sincerely,
Not Even a Mom
hahaha thanks for stopping by :)
A lip gloss and a quarter, I'm dying 😂
yea same
Brilliant review. Here in the uk this audi is literally a beast because if its sheer size. Brilliant vehicle.Cheerio
Thank you Kelly! Would love to see your review on the Audi Q5 for small family of 3. 💕
I really enjoy your videos. You're naturally funny. Can you review the new Honda Pilot? I have a 2010 and am curious if I should just upgrade with the same vehicle. Thank you for your honest reviews.
It’s definitely OwwDee like you said. I love how you build the car at the end but I wish you would go through what each trim offers you. Thanks! Love your videos!
Love this! Did seem like the info about the front end was added in twice or I am suffering from deja vu 🤷♀️
Not deja vu, it’s in there twice.
Totally was. My pregnancy brain was confused too lol
Yes video front end was repeated. Lol
I love your reviews, thank you! Which 7-seater would you recommend for a family? We live in South Africa, so might not have all the options you have in the US and have to take highjacking risk into consideration (so no VW, BMW or Toyota). Would love to hear your opinion😊
What’s a suv you recommend that I can put 3 car seats in the second row? Preferably I’m looking into foreign cars/luxurious cars. Love your Chanel 🙏🏼😍
Also the passenger seat has anchor points I believe. It is amazing!
This is my second purchased Graco 4Ever. As expected it’s amazing. Love it!Super easy to install!
Binge watching your videos thank you for making these videos. As a mom it can be intimidating looking for cars and all the reviews seem to focus on his how "sexy" the cars are not the functionality or practical everyday use for parents. Thank you, love your videos!!
This one had been on my list and after your review I think I am going to bump it a little lower. Especially when I compare it to the Telluride. Can't wait for your next video! Would love to see the 2021 Lexus lineup (the RX/LX in both the regular and hybrid models). Especially the infotainment center which I have heard some mixed reviews about.
Omg funny... Kelly you're so witty. "A lip gloss and a quarter". Classically funny!
i love your videos i just found and subscribed to your channel a couple of months ago and been following since i'm a mom of 4 but can u do a video on the 2023 audi Q7 if possible i'm curious about them Thank you
This is a brilliant review for the everyday person / guy looking for a car for an expanding family. Well done!
I love it all. Especially the out takes that weren’t taken out 😂 also you convinced me to get my husband to get a job in car sales 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for your reviews, I’m binge watching your videos
It would be great if you could measure the width of the back row, to see how well it can fit 3 car seats
Ps reflective surfaces on the front dash can be super annoying with glare when the sun hits it even though it’s really pretty
Love your channel and reviews
Binge ? Really. I hope you live alone in a basement.
@@fiouable enough dummy
So glad I came across your page, we're having a third human leach joining us and we needed a new car! We looked at bmw x5, glb 35, and this car... I think this is the one!
I’ve got a 3rd one on the way too 😅 did you end up getting the q7? I’m thinking of getting this or a minivan 🥲 I’ve got a 5yr old and a 1.5yr old
obssessed with your videos!!!! you literally point out all the important car characteristics that for some reason no one else wants to talk about!! Thank you so much!!! I'm shopping for an SUV for my family we are 2 parents, a 12-month old, a baby on the way, an au pair, a large 80 pound dog, and hoping to have at least 3 kids. Can you do video comparing and constrasting the top mom cars. Considering the Telluride but i'm concerned we will grow out of it quickly. Regarding the Volvo Xc90 - it has low consumer report rating - should I care? It also feels overpriced to me...
Can you do the 2021 genesis with the 3rd rode, please
The editing of this video is darling
You should have mentioned the double sun visors! Me and my husband think thats one of the best features and every car should have them!
Do you know if the third row have hooks for child car seat?
I’ve had times when I had to put one back seat down and leave one up. I’m glad they have it separated! The third row is a deal breaker for me, especially with no vents! The access to the third row is so cumbersome. The console is ridiculously small.
Will it be possible to lift the seat to access the 3rd row with 2 cars seats on the second row like you did?
We have 4 kids 11, 8 , 15months and 4 months. So 2 rear facing carseat and one booster situation lol. And yes we dont want a van😂 .
I’m really enjoying your content! Can you do tours on the Subaru Ascent and Forester? They both look like great cars. TIA
Great review sister
So I went back to the dealership to see if my Nuna travel stroller and it fits w/ the third row up. This will most likely be my next vehicle just need to test two more!
Does the Audi Q7 have a 2nd row captain chair option?
Loved it thank you for this video! Now I want one 😅🤩
You missed the secret storage cubby left of the steering wheel! But I agree the storage is bad due to the double screen.
I’d like to see a 2021 Armada.
Is it possible to get your car seats in the third row?
The way the second row lifts up! Would it be easy for a child to get out of? No. Would it make cleaning our your car easy? Absolutely.
My dealer told me the rear side airbag is not recommended for small children (mine are 5 yrs and 2 yrs old) - it can cause harm because the airbag exerts so much force. That is why it is optional and when I ordered my 2021 Q7 I left that off the options list. Totally agree the center console / small space storage is seriously lacking. That is the only frustrating part of this vehicle. The drive is phenomenal for a car this size.
Is the center of the 2nd row raised up? I have always found this annoying, but otherwise this car seams perfect. But we would be maxed out with 7 passengers and am curious about someone sitting in that center 2nd row seat.
No, the seat cushion in the center of the 2nd row is flat with the outside seats. It’s pretty wide too, three kids or two adults and a kid in the middle can fit
My family is in the market for a new car. I have a QX 80 right now. I would love for you to review the Cadillac XT6.
Спасибо ! Супер автомобиль !
might me ask you to talking about vw toureg & tiguan allspace please thanks
I wish you would have shown a forward facing car seat and booster seat fitting.
Subaru where are you??
Btw love the channel you're great!
Google the car colors and you’ll get a better idea of what they look like. I think the matrix headlights are adaptive. Once you have them you’ll notice the safety difference at night.
Another question, would you say a sunroof is a yay of a nay with kids??
I would love to see your review of the Audi Q8!
This is a great review!! Any chance you can review the 2021 Rav4? Thank you!!
Can you do a Mercedes GLE review? Would love to hear your thoughts!!!
Opens trunk storage- “We also have....NOTHING” 🤣
Very nice.
Could you review a 2015-2017 Toyota Sienna SE or SE Premium
It’s sad that Audi can’t solve the front seat storage problem.
Beautiful car!!! The third row is disappointing!! Please review the Hyundai Palisade and Genesis!!!
You chose the 45, it has the whimpy four cylinder for such a big suv. That seven seater needs to be Q7-55 which is the V6 turbo, is an engineering marvel. If you loved the one you drove, the 55 is butterly smooth.
2:29 😂🤣😭 I love it 🥃
Has anyone tried fitting the Uppababy Vista v2 stroller in the back of the Q7 with the 3rd row up?
The 3rd row isn't meant to really for adults unless u use the second as leg room
Marvelous audi q7 slin
Great channel, my wife loves the work you put into this channel.
Could you review a 2017-2019 Ford 150 XLT or STX
There is a larger difference in the 3 sets of sticker prices. The 45 both have a 4 cylinder engine. The 55 is a 6 cylinder vehicle.
Love your energy !
I put so much crud in my huge center console, I feel like having something small might benefit me 😂
Kelly, where is your coat from? i love it.
Love when you sit between or next to car seats in the second row to show how much room!
Thanks for watching!!
I’m wondering if you have two car seats in the mid and left of 2nd row, will you still be able to fold the right one to access 3rd row?
I absolutely love my Q7 but you nailed the sore spots. The tiny console is ridiculous for moms as is the cup holder situation. The 2nd row is only fit for a short kid and not for long road trips. I only got it because 3rd seat will hardly be used. If you need a dedicated 3rd row for bigger/taller kids I wouldn't recommend. Other than that it's hands down my favorite luxury suv. Great video 👍
Love it! Now I want a Q7!
Which one has a better 3rd row? 2021 Audi Q7 or 2022 Acura MDX? Thanks!
This is what I was thinking. For the mdx A s-pec is kind of same price as q7 plus . So I go for q7
On your configuration you picked the 4cylinder. Are you sure you like it than the V6 you review?
Can you do the Audi q5
Love. I would like to see the 2021 Mercedes GLB. Thinking about buying one soon and would love to see your thoughts on it with the 3rd row and for a family of five
Can you please review Toyota RAV4?
One of the reasons why this SUV isn’t tops on my list is the front passenger storage. The center console has no room
No place to put purse, sun glasses, tote bag with all the “stuff”. Fine if you don’t have a front passenger, but stinks when you have passenger.
I’m new here🙋🏽♀️I would love to see you tour a VW Tiguan ❤️
Can you do the Nissan Rogue and/or Murano, particularly with how well child seats fit in the back? I'm hoping *fingers crossed* to have child seats in the outbound seats, while still having enough room (and access to seatbelts) for the middle seat to be used by another adult passenger in a pinch. Or if you have other 2-row suggestions where this might be possible... or child seat in driver+middle, leaving passenger for an adult, etc.
Can you review a Lincoln aviator? Love the videos!
You’re paying for the brand name with this vehicle. I chose a Jeep GCL SR last month over this and a few other luxury brands.
Canesssss I want canes too
Great review! We love our Q5 but need a little more space with baby #2 on the way. Not sure the Q7 will be our choice. I don’t like that 3rd row is useless with car seats installed. I would love to see the Lexus RX 450. Thanks Kelly!
Wife's having our 3rd child soon and looking at a few 3 row SUVs. Love the perspective! Storage is so disappointing on this. Please review the Tesla Y with 3 rows!
Trying to get my hands on one!!
My mom just got this car I LOVE it
Thank you for showing a rear facing convertible car seat! Looking forward to all your upcoming reviews.
More to come!
Hmm..never seen a car manufacturer charging extra for air bag options either. There might be some airline logic approach in there. Nearly 50% increase in price for selecting "Prestige" package? Ha-ha that is someone paying 25-30K in mostly interior options.
Your reaction to the lack of cubby space....I am dying!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Audi. I have a Q5, but the Q8 is my dreaaam😍
Can’t decide between Q5 and Q8, they say that Q5 is more practical
@@otarzaridze898 they are both amazing cars! The Q5 is probably more practical for most. I’m a graduate student so the Q5 was my dream car for this stage in life but after I graduate and begin a residency + career …I will upgrade to the Q8😇
@@Breonaleonard I got your point, thanks for replying. Good luck to you with Q8 😊
Thanks for the review. Can you please share coat details? Thanks!
Ah it’s from Nordstrom rack last year! Lucky brand!! I’ll try to find a similar one and link it on my IG
Can you tour a jeep grand cherokee, New with the 3rd row?
The dance during the double screen navigation 😂
So does a stroller (vista) fit in the trunk while using 3rd row or no???! 😬
I would bet yes.
Love this channel! Thank you Car Mom
Thanks, definitely look at this car .... no longer a mom that drives kids around.
Wish I had seen this review about the storage before jumping the gun on buying this car. Huge car made for a family but no storage, makes no sense. Also their default NAV system is pretty useless, doesn't have half the point of interests in our area. Good thing there is Carplay. I have to say it drives beautifully though, so it sort of makes up for it.
Hi, totally not on topic, but where did you find that cute iphone case?
Hi! Its Otterbox brand!
@@TheCarMom Hi, Thank you! Love your channel!
Would have chosen the 55 over the 45 any day
The 45 only has 245 HP .. too sluggish for a body that size. The 55 has 335 HP. More like it
that or mdx？
“Oh canes u wanna get canes”
Can you do an mdx, tahoe, explorer, and enclave at some point plesse?! :)
MDX is being released tonight at 6PM CT! Others are on my list to review! stay tuned :)
Can you review the Volvo XC90
I reviewed a 2020 XC90 on my IGTV (@the_car_mom)!
I have the same cup holder issue in my Q5 I have to yank out my yeti!!
My mom has a an A8 and she hates the cup holders being by some of the electronics. She’s fried them a few times by spilling!!
I would love to see the new Ford bronco sport. Or recommended vehicles for those beginning to start a family
