2017 Audi Q7 3.0T Review and Road Test - DETAILED in 4K UHD! 

Your reviews are the most informative I've been able to find. I give them all a 10/10. Amazing job! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!!

I just bought one today sitting at 60k miles got it for 30k clean title and maintenance always up to date

You are the best Car Reviewer on the planet...PERIOD !

Great video! I have owned one for a week now and you hit every complaint and complement I have for it. Coming from an MDX, I'd say that the lack of storage space in the front of the Q7 is a problem. I like to have an assortment of items available and there is just no place to hide them. Other big complaints are the lack of hidden storage in the back and some bugs with the car/ MMI

Alex, no one tops your reviews with the class comparisons and in depth information. Keep up the great work.

You set the haters straight! Bugs me SO MUCH when everyone thinks Audi is FWD

I've watched hundreds of videos of the Q7, this is the most detailed review. Thank you!

I am a life long motorhead. Your site is one of the first I visit when starting to research a car. Excellent review as always as far as usable practical auto advice. I agree the ZF 8 speed is a buttery smooth masterpiece of a transmission. I have beat on a ZF for 85,000 miles with a pos 2011 550xi (wifes car). 19.4 mpg combined sucks, I hoped for 21.

i love your way of reviewing vehicles. you not only review them but you also compare them to other comparable models

I always come to Alex if I actually want to learn something about the automobile.

Great video - thanks. I wish the Q7 had an option to trade the 3rd row seats (along with motors and controls), for a full-size spare tire.

looks are personnel preference but in my opinion Audi Crossovers and SUVs look much better than BMW and Benz lineup.

Just picked ours up on Friday in Glacier White w/ the 20 inch wheels -- it's fantastic! We are very lucky!

One of most detailed reviews of Q7 I've ever seen. Love your critical / comparative approach. This vid deffo helped me to make myself sure that the upcoming purchase of Q7 was a right decision. Thanks, Alex - leaving sub!!😄

Your reviews are incredible! You are the only one I've subscribed for car review and please keep this great job. Thank you so much.

Hey Alex, I don't see any review of the 2017 Audi A4 I hope that you will do a review in the near future.. love watching your auto reviews very in depth videos...very insightful....looking forward to seeing a review of the 2017 Audi A4

I love the way you explain your videos. BETTER THAN ENYONE!

you look like Brick from "The Middle" but your car reviews the best by far!

This is what you call a review holy. I'm on day 2 with this lol. Great work!

One of the most informative reviews I have ever seen! Well done

Hands down you do the best reviews on the internet. Though could you please review a 2016/2017 Audi Q5?

Holy crap, that's a lot of information :-) Thanks for the great review!

Amazing review .. send this man a million dollars. !

Man....hands down, Best Review on whole of RU-vid.....

Brilliant review - so comprehensive, unlike many others, thank you.

Just bought one, she’s a beaut!

simply the best reviews. a must see before buying any car. Many thanks for your hard work!

From a middle class point of view, the Ford Flex seems a much better bargain. After a couple of midwestern winters and a few camping trips, a considerable amount of shine will be worn off the much nicer and expensive cars. The gadgetry involved in power folding seats seems a bit silly as well. Still, that is one nice wagon! Great review as usual Alex.

I like very much your reviews complete and shows every detail

I have waited for your review on the Q7 since i saw your review on the XC90 and you didn't disappoint. I do respect your opinion on the two cars but will have to say that i disagree with your verdict. The XC90 is a great step forward for volvo, no doubt. I drove every car you mentioned, ML, GL, MDX, X5, Escalade, Yukon, QX60, QX80, etc. This is the luxury sector and the XC90 doesn't compare to the Q7 in quality or ride. Also the luxury section is not about value it is simply about how does the car cushion you and in that respect the Q7 is way above the volvo. The engine note for the XC90 on the T6 didn't have the sound of a car, as i configured it, of over 75k. The XC90 cannot match the Q7 on fit and finish, nor can it beat it when it comes to ride quality. Also have you lifted the 2nd row to get into the volvos third row? Do that in the volvo then do it in the Q7 and tell me what you think. The Q7 is so well done. The Volvo is great if you have driven good utility cars like the Pathfinder or MDX in the past. If you are stepping out of a BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Range Rover, the volvo just doesn't compare to the Q7. I still enjoyed your review keep up the great work. Also you may have mentioned this somewhere in the past, but what do you drive?

this is the exact same car we have but the seats are black but i didnt see the electronic sets of buttons at the back so thank you 😀

Last I checked this was based on the MLB Evo chassis which underpins the new A4. That car you can get in front wheel drive and this Q7 you can also spec in front wheel drive in Europe hence the car's FWD origins. Just because the engine is mounted longitudinally does not mean that it can't be FWD.

This is a great review. It is probably worth mentioning that even though fuel consumption is very similar between Q7 and XC90 (maybe XC90 little better) the difference is that XC90 will require regular gas versus premium gas for Q7. Overall great vehicle except exterior rear and interior front panel.

Best review I have ever watched.

Alex, great review. I wonder when it comes to maintenance and reliability, who has an advantage between bmw/audi/volvo in this segment?

Alex, fantastic review as usual. would like to suggest you that you should also start review the audio system for every car. Please review 2016 sonata limited with tech package

Great job on the walkthrough. Very informative. It actually helped me more than owner's manual. Thanks! :)

This was such a thorough review, thank you!

By far the best review on this car and likely all the others. Most out there are absolute nonsense. Well done!

Hey Alex the BMW X5 is 192.4 inches and the Acura MDX is 196.2 inches and on the chart the BMW X5 was before the mdx

Cannot wait for Q8 and A9-Series Audi's!

Great review Alex! I am currently trying to decide between the two vehicles (Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90) and have come to the same conclusion as you. I plan on an overseas delivery, so I watched your video on that as well. Everything I wanted to know.... Thanks.

you have the best review among all reviewers

Great review Alex. So would you take air suspension or regular suspension on this q7 if you were buying.

Any word on a diesel version? The 3.0 TDI is a great performer and ideal as far as mpg goes. Diesel is also cheaper than premium in most areas.

I accidentally stumbled onto your reviews while briefly looking at the horribly overpriced GMC Yukon. I had a friend that had a Yukon around the year 2000 and they were amazing back then. But they sure don't hold up today, especially for the price. I've had my eye on a SQ5 for awhile, but my wife really prefers I apply the ridiculous money towards a 7 seater... so I can use that. I really like Audis and their sweet spot of price/value/luxury. I test drove a Ford Explorer Platinum recently and while it had amazing value, I just couldn't get past the gas guzzling 6-speed laggy transmission. A similarly equipped Audi costs 30-40% more, but is far more satisfying in every way. I do note you prefer the Volvo XC90 over the Q7, but I do think the Audi has a superior look, and I value power over handling & economy. The ratings were rather close. I do feel your reviews are unbelievably unbiased, unlike any I've ever seen. So keep up the good work. I hope I can somehow magically justify the ridiculous price of the upcoming SQ7... probably a little too far :)

Awesome as always Alex :).

Thank you!!! New fan here. Audi VS Volvo- now I know which one to choose.

I recently sat in one and realized that the fabric underneath the panoramic sunroof was transparent. Almost like the sunshades. Did you find that they let in too much light or allowed a lot of heat to pass through into the cabin?

Awesome review as always. What is the quietest crossover (2 or 3 row) in your opinion? I'm considering the Q7, XC90, X5, RX350 and MDX. Thx

Iv got this car cant fault it at all. Perfect great looking car!

I was recently in a new q7 the 3rd row disappointed not much legroom compared to the smaller xc90, also to get into the 3rd was confusing at first.

Great review, can't wait for you to review the new A4 when it becomes available!

Great review, will you cover the upcoming 2025 Audi Q7 soon?

Hi Alex, thanks for the fantastic review! Very informative and detailed.

Great review. Very detailed and informative. Thanks and keep doing what you're doing.

would like to see detailed review of new MDX 2017 and its comparison with Q7 and XC90 volvo

Very cool! Keep on the split screens during driving.

You mentioned that you would take the Q7 over the MDX. Thank you for sharing that opinion. Which would you take between the Q7 and the X5 with 6 cylinder and x drive? Thank you. I enjoy watching your reviews.

Dude great review! I like how you reviewed the sitting.

i drive mostly highways and mountain roads, and i average 26mpg. When driving in town, i was at 22, and I don't have a light foot. So to average at 19, you must do a lot of city driving...you don't get that kind of car for mileage but frankly, it's really not that bad.

Always great reviews! Excellent information and comparison.

thank you Alex...if i an't decide on car with you then i won't be ... i have been telling my freinds in saudi to watch you if they want to choose a car :) especially with the translation to arabic...... thank you bro

I'd prefer to forgo the third row seats and have a full size spare tyre.

Hey Alex!! Great videos as always!! Do you think Audi will be porting some or most of these features to the upcoming 2017 Audi Q5?

Alex, which color is this Q7? Thanks for the great review/test drive as always. I agree X5 is an amazing vehicle, BMW is very late to the update game, hopefully new generation G series X5 will catch up.

Hi Alex, I wonder if you realized that there's a huge 9K difference between the Q7 Premium Plus and MDX SH-AWD Tech+AcuraWatch (and you still don't have collision warning I believe which is another 2K). Or you did but then I wonder what makes it worth the extra 9-11K? Price wise they don't quite compete anymore this generation.

Hi Alex: I'm looking at the Acura MDX/Hybrid and this Audi Q7 and I'm wondering which one is better in terms of driving dynamics and also cost of ownership? I'm kinda concerned about how reliable the Audi is and if it is going to become a money pit after its warranty expires,

Beautiful Nav display in the gauge cluster.

Hello, Alex. Excellent review as always. What trim level is included in that car? i wish to buy something identical or closely similar

So it means you can't enter address on the navigation in these new models ?

You were literally racing in those mountains, with a 85 grand large SUV. *Slow, gradual claps* Anyway, this was a great review.

best reviews on youtube!!! thanks

Hi Alex. I will be in the market shortly for a crossover. Would you still prefer a mid level Q7 over the top of the line 2017 MDX? Thanks!

Anyway to get rid of those distracting 'tabs' on the side of the screen? (engine/seats/interior/drive/compare)

Outstanding review, very thorough. Thank you.

Thanks for another detailed Review Alex!

What camera are you using between 11:00 and 13:00? Very nice and high quality

Great review. Great cameras angles. Great info.

I love your reviews! Thanks for the detailed and analytic approaches. Do you have any review of Mercedes-benz GLS 450 or 550. It's spacious 7 seaters SUV, but i can find real reviews!!! Hope you have one! thanks!

Great camera work. Subscribed

great review, So real, No fluff

Hi Alex, Just asking if you already did the 2016 Mercedes Benz GLC 300. I am looking for reviews and I hope you make a review for it

Can't tell the difference between this and the A3/A4/A6.

Great video! What's different between 2016 Q7 and 2017 Q7?

Alex, I wish I had found your videos earlier. I worked hard to compile the info you presented here. I am trying to decide between the XC90 and the Q7 so this video was perfect for me. Thanks for pointing out the lack of a spare tire. I don't think that omission gets enough attention. And in Europe, they can choose between the 3rd row and the spare tire. Good description about the 2nd row being somewhat more cumbersome to flip forward, though I think that probably should have knocked it down a point from the 10 you gave it. I think it is also worth pointing out that the return/default position for the 2nd row seats is straight upright where few would want to keep it so every time you move the seat forward to access the back, you need to readjust your seat angle to be back where it is more comfortable and for that I would have knocked Audi down another point. Neither of these is an issue with the XC90.

Great review as always. Any chance you get your hands on a wrx? Could be fun on your favorite winding mountain road. :)

Wow! Great reviews. Subscribed!

Alex, I saw this vehicle earlier this week at the Chicago Auto Show. Impressive, so say the least. What struck me a few minutes later was when I saw the new Mazda CX-9 Signature. Very similar styling, but the Mazda visually appeared (couldn't sit in it) to have more interior room. Your thoughts?

Hi Alex, could you please also review the new Subaru Outback as I am considering purchasing it but I'm also torn between the subie and the Passat Wagon. Would really appreciate it thanks

How's the Audi Q7 maintenance compared to Lexus gx 460 ?

6.1 sec, about the same as the Volvo, BMW, and Acura. Some sources have the Volvo at 6.1 also, but driveability depends on low end torque, and it peaks far lower with the Volvo.

Please do a review of the new 2017 Audi A4!!

Good review and good timing for me. This spring I will be cross-shopping the Volvo, Audi and Cadillac Escalade. I'd prefer to go with the Cadillac but for me, it comes down to practicality, ergonomics and value.

Another car with a can of fix a flat... Does this at least come with run flats?

Any reviews from Volkswagen coming up? Maybe the 5-door Golf or Tiguan?

nice review Alex

When are you going to start reviewing the new Lincoln's, Alex?

Have been waiting for a review of GLS450

There is a disappointing fact : I’ve been proposed to take the 7 seats instead of the 5 seats version .. and now I don’t have room for the spare wheel ... really disappointed !!
