2024 Audi Q7 Model Review - Springfield, MO

What's New for the 2024 Audi Q7?

Audi's three-row family hauler has been updated with new standard features. With your smartphone in hand, remote start allows you to set the cabin temperature before heading out. Meanwhile, adaptive cruise control enables you to experience a more relaxing drive. The lineup's top trim offers a new S Line Sport package. It bolsters the SUV's appearance by adding unique 21- or 22-inch wheels with red brake calipers. Black exterior accents further enhance styling. On the inside, you'll find diamond-stitched leather upholstery. To elevate the Q7's driving dynamics, this package also adds rear-wheel steering and sports suspension.

What Are the 2024 Q7 Trims & Features?

The new Q7 is offered in three trim grades: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Even the Q7 Premium trim is remarkably luxurious. In contrast to some other entry-level trims, it features genuine leather upholstery. Three-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats help ensure outstanding comfort. Powerful technologies make the Premium trim more rewarding. Audi's top-rated MMI infotainment system features a dual-screen setup with navigation and wireless smartphone connectivity. Another highlight is the Virtual Cockpit Plus digital gauge cluster, which can display 3D driving maps. A panoramic sunroof is also on the SUV's list of standard equipment.

More niceties are found on the Premium Plus trim. Key upgrades include a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system with 3D sound, Matrix-design LED headlights, and a top-view camera system.

The range-topping Prestige trim offers a high-end driving experience. Its comfort-tuned adaptive air suspension takes ride quality to the next stage. A head-up display, power soft-closing doors, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats further set apart the Q7 Prestige.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2024 Q7 Have?

There are two available powertrains. The Q7's standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine develops a more than sufficient 261 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi's legendary Quattro AWD system come standard. Drivers who need more muscle can upgrade to a turbocharged V6 engine, which develops a stout 335 horsepower. With the extra muscle comes a higher maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2024 Q7 Include?

Several driver-assistance technologies come standard. A few of these confidence-inspiring features include newly added adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
