In practice this gear shifter is TERRIBLE. I had it for a month in A6 now in Q5 since 1 week. Every 4-5th change you don’t press the button strong enough and you are still in drive instead of reverse! This is actually dangerous and requires a visual check every time! My wife has exactly the same experience with both cars. Ergonomy fail in otherwise superbly manufactured vehicles. Thomas pls check basic (I’m assuming since no branding) sound system in 2019 Q5 or similar. The sound is really powerful but there is some fake boom in the bass in enormous quantities so if you know your house&techno from good soundsystems you immediately feel sth is waaaay off! Keep up with the good work, Sustainability Warrior!
Love our diesel sq7, huge power I can floor The paddle all day and every day and only fuel up every week and a half sometimes up to 3 weeks without having to visit the gas station if we don’t go crazy. With the petrol I can only imagine how often I need to fuel up the car, Petrol price not always the factor however it is annoying and stupid having to fuel up the car every second day that’s why I hardly drive my b7 rs4 these days.
As far as I understand, these SQ7 and SQ8 have a “detuned” version of the engine from RSQ8 and without the Mild-Hybrid technology. Thomas, do you know why no MHEV? They are the only versions in the Q7 and Q8 ranges which are not mild hybrid. In my country being a mild hybrid helps in the taxation, especially for such big engines.
Great insightful video, thanks. I have the SQ7 on order as with a big family I need the extra seats. I have a Q7 currently, looking forward to the petrol engine upgrade.
I also had a Q7 and got the SQ7 in July. Love the car. Question…… I would like to get a regular dipstick for the engine oil. Any chance you have tried to do the same. I am in the US and cannot find one yet. I don’t trust the accuracy of the electronic dipstick……… I did add a dipstick to my last Q7 and found the electronic dipstick was often not accurate. I also like to be able to see the condition of the oil when I pull the dipstick. If by any chance you know about where to get a dipstick for the SQ7 I would appreciate if you can share
@@Peter-gi3re Hey Peter. I am UK based but no no doubt an oil dipstick is universal. I now have the SQ7 and loving it. My old Q7 had issues with the oil sensor telling me the levels were too high even when half-full. I will take a look and let you know 👍
@@NotNerdy2Game that's not the point . Yes it may be a performance suv but to go from a car that was doing at low 36mpg to a new engine producing about the same torque yet only a 1/3 of the range per mpg is nuts they should have made it a hybrid at least and I don't mean 48v with a big alternator . Hp means nothing nowdays when your stuck in traffic is it really with the 8k road tax every year for 3 years e.g. 24k to drive it to the tax man for nothing is just out of touch with current EU and British road requirements in the 2020+
Good choice on opening music. Audi normally does headlights as good or better than all others, but I absolutely hate the Q8 headlights. I would take the SQ7 in matador red.

What colour is the SQ7? Absolutely love it.
How come is squats so much under acceleration? Doesnt it use same technology as A8 whose air suspension levels the car under acceleration?

@@pointsequalspremium8379 thank you I would really appreciate it.
If you can find it in the Uk I will be able to get it
They should have kept the diesel as an option 15-22 miles per gallon (according to us reviews) is hard to stomach no matter what power plant
If you can buy an Sq8, you surely can pay for the gas.
