2023 Audi Q7 Consumer Reviews
Review Summary
Most Helpful Reviews
Positive Review
Have had this car for about three months and absolutely love it. Comfortable, fast, roomy, and fuel efficient. I only gave it a 9 for quality because there is one interior trim piece that is a little out of place, but otherwise this car is quality and performance like I have never seen. Having had several Mercedes, and also Subaru, Toyota and Jeep SUVs I can say this is for sure the best ride of all. Performs well in the snow as well.

Critical Review
I purchased the Q7 after extensive research and knowing Consumer Reports rated it highly (in 2018). But, numerous maintenance issues overshadow nice ride and other attributes. 1. A/C has failed SEVEN times. Numerous leaks and 2 replacements of Evaporator. Warranty covered what would have been $10k+ cost. 2. Incredibly noisy squealing brakes which is common (and embarrassing) and documented in CA class action lawsuit. 3. Goodyear Eagle tires start pitting/shredding after a few thousand miles (2 sets so far at $1700 each). 4, Muffler just broke for no reason. 3 visits to resolve recalls. At this price tag, one should expect a luxury experience. These were but a few of numerous maintenance issues. After owning many SUV's I cannot trust this one now that it's out of warranty. It bothers me to dump a vehicle just when the bulk of depreciation is gone but I cannot live with the stress this vehicle has caused. I'm done!

Worst car I’ve ever owned. Problem after problem. Nothings works right. Gas gauge reads wrong. Have to top off the oil about 5 times between oil changes.
Excellent with all maintenance kept up to date. Run flat tire’s with good tread. Paint in excellent condition
Handles great Run flat tires. Smooth tranny
Programming garage door opener
Confusing controls. Tiny cup holders no storage compartments Will not fit my iPhone 15 pro max into the cordless charger
Very nice fit/finish. Drives well.
Panel lights go off a lot. Tiny back cup holders. Phone charger overheats phone.
Performance wise, this is a great car. It drives as if it has more horsepower than it actually does, handling between a sport, and sleek drive. It's a great car to meet your needs in most ways; Very comfortable to ride in, and nice interior; Expensive to maintain though, and not the best company to work with when something under warranty does go wrong. Panel lights go off a lot. Never are truly fixed. When the temperature drops below freezing outside, a lot of features are frozen, like high beams, lka, etc. It's very annoying. Design flaws: cupholders in back are only large enough to hold a toddlers sippy cup. Nothing bigger. Phone charger that is hidden away inside a console with no breathability will overheat your phone.
spacious with a third row, smooth ride and handling
no remote start (standard european practice supposedly)
Maybe too soon for a review as I’ve had it only a week, but so love this vehicle. Great ride, the interior is comfortable and the controls are well placed for easy access with minimal distraction
Comfortable
horirble reliability with bad customer support
Was excited about this car until it started burning lots of oil. Talked to the local dealership and Audi Customer support until I was blue in the face. Come to find out it was a very common problem with defecrtive piston rings. Wont buy an Audi again.
Very happy (so far) with the Audi found thru Autotrader. Was able to compare prices based on the numerous Autotrader listings. Negotiated a reasonable deal as well (I believe).
Power in a family SUV
Insurance and maintenance cost
Just bought my SQ7 a month ago and I am super impressed. The twin turbo V8 makes you smile with all the power it provides. It took me a while to get used to all the tech and I am still learning. Overall I am please with the two center screens and the driver screen is very nice. I got the Prestige trim and enjoy the additional features that come with it. Fit and finish is very good and this is the second Audi I have owned and love how the interior looks and is designed. I was looking for a regular Q7 and this one was available at a good price so I decided to bust my budget and purchase it. I am not disappointed. I'm averaging 21 MPG on the highway and don't think that is bad going 80 mph. The only thing I could warn someone about, is the insurance cost for this vehicle are much higher that a regular SUV. I think the joy I get from driving it is well worth it!
