Not sure why people are criticizing the exterior look of the new Q7...the old and new models both give different exterior design perspective. While the old exterior looks elegant and classy, the new one looks majestic and aggressive. You have got to be in the showroom to see the real picture. In fact, on the contrary, the road presence for the new Q7 is way more impressive. For SUV segment, road presence is one key winning factor, and majestic look and aggressive appearance are better components to bring solid road presence than the previous elegant and classy look. I have driven my new Q7 for 3 months now, and I must say that it's presence makes many heads turned!Many other car owners approached me to sing praises for this new model design when I was at the petrol station. For interior wise, it feels like a 6 stars hotel. For performance, it's super top notch! Thank you Audi for a well designed SUV!
The Q7 looks even worse in real life to be honest. If you see the taillights at night, all you see is a bunch of random red bars that don't look to good, and when it's not nighttime, it looks like a stormtrooper from the front and back, and doesn't look as premium as the XC90, or the old one, which had a lot more road presence.
It looks like a chromed up Subaru to me, just the way that the wheel arches have double surfaces if you know what i mean
Q7 is the best SUV on the market. hands down.
J.R. Productions obviously never seen a Lincoln Navigator
Dan Hing no NO The best SUV on the market is a Lexus LX 570
@@moonbox2546 Sure it's more reliable but it handles like a grannies tea trolly in the curves. Different demographic. Body on frame mate.
@@danielhing7204 u mean cheap $20 plastic on a bus? Pls dude get a life
something neat that wasn't mentioned is that the virtual cockpit uses google maps for navigation so you can choose map or satellite view.
but that third row seat sure looks claustrophobic
Is it just me or do these KBB car review people seem like they'd be cool guys to hang out with?
It's just you.
+Zach Vlasuk lol
+Zach Vlasuk Haha see exactly!
It looks beautiful, but there's something about its styling that makes it look just a tiny bit more petite and less sculpted than the last gen, which looked amazing for all 9 years of its lifespan. Looking at a 2005-14 Q7 is always a treat, and while this does seem extremely special, there was just something about the last gen, that gave it that extra oomph.
We have a 2017, and although time marches on we still LOve our Audi with 97500 miles.
This is one of my favorite review - this guy tells the bad and the good
cool you can judge by watching one review
+Jeff Kim what's worst: correcting a mistake? Or making a mistake? You chose
+Jeff Kim by the way you mean "yeah it should BE ......"
+UGH Calm down Grammar Nazi.
Jay Kae ok jew
In terms of just straightforward looks, the previous generation is totally better looking. It's big, bold, curvy, voluptuous, and quite iconic for that. But that doesn't mean the new one can't grow on you. My neighbor has owned one for a year now and I remember being quite disappointed on first sight. Over time though, I've really grown to appreciate the understated, sleek, minimalist look of the new Q7. And that's just the outside. This thing is the machine of the future in terms of drive, tech and comfort, it's brought Audi back to the very forefront of automobile innovation. Just like the first gen did back in 2005. Perhaps, someday we'll all love this just as much as we loved that one?
Just seen one of these on the road today! And I have to say it looks great!
What is your personal vehicle ? Can you review it ?
I believe your torque figures displayed in the video is off. A bit
Torque should be 325 lb/ft
+Blake Swan Ugh. I hate when stuff like this gets past us. Thanks for the heads up. We'll add an annotation correcting our mistake.
+Micah Muzio The drum solo more than made up for it
Well, if you can't be accurate at least be rhythmic.
***** Lets be honest, in a few years the only thing that will work in that Audi are those drumsticks. Zing
Looks awesome! Well worth the money and a well needed improvement over the previous model.
So much better than the previous one in terms of driving, one of the best in its class.
I completely enjoyed your take on the Audi Q7. Your editing was well done, it made me subscribe.
Four wheel steering reduces the turning circle. If I am not mistaken, you said "heighten the turning circle"
Hello Kelley Blue Book. Have you guys done the reviews on the 2018 Chevy Traverse and the 2018 Honda Pilot yet?
How did this dude reach so fast from 6:46 to 6:58?!
dude!
+San S Lal The camera pans to the left giving him time to go behind the car. Look at the reflection on the car and you will see him on the right side going behind the car.
Do you think the q7 is worth buying or leasing ?
Nice review! Would you know what is the name of the grey?
If having a two step process to putting down a seat really stops you from buying a fantastic vehicle like this, you are incredibly lazy. Audi nailed it with the new Q7. They're killing it in general lately with the new TT and R8.
Can't wait to get ours!
i want this and a volvo xc60 when i grow up
That drum solo by Micah tho. Strong
Thanks, man! Excellent video, made with skill...
6:30 Have people never heard of the GLS? The GLS directly competes with the Range Rover, Q7, Lexus GS, Escalade (both short and long wheelbase), Lincoln Navigator (both wheelbases) and other full-size luxury SUVS. The GLE is a midsize, and would go against the X5, Q5 and Discovery, among others in the midsize market.
Is there going to be a review on the 2017 audi a4?
can you do a review of the 2017 lexus gx 460 please
Can you guys review the all new Lexus lx 570
is this graphite grey metallic?
It looks so good whitout the licenceplate on the front bumper.
+Fred Schriks that's one thing about PA that I love, no ugly front license plates
Greg Egan Makes it look so much better.
Whiteout?
Whitout?
I think it looks amazing, interior is fine
whats is the color of this Q7?
is this daytona or graphite grey?
Tone down the front clip horizontal lines. Still looks good though.
Can You Do A Review Of The 2016 Nissan Altima Please
+Natwayn Altema We just shot it last week along with the Optima. Shouldn't be long before the videos are completed!
+Kelley Blue Book I would like to know what you guys think about the refresh Altima
Audis are technologically superb but still can't bring myself to consider one.
You mean can't afford one
Why not, best decision I have made. About 6 years ago I paid $50,000 AUD for 2008 Q7 4.2 TDi, 100,000 klms. Still better in all ways compared with newer SUV's. Economy for a V8 is very good. Have done many modifications. Has google earth Sat Nav, upgraded front and rear camera. SR5 steering wheel. Replaced rear muffler with resonators in stainless steel. Very good towing vehicle due to diesel V8 twin turbo, does 100klm/hr with full sized semi offroad van 2.4 tonnes (max towing is 3500kg). Rides even better with the van on. Has adjustable air shocks.
I will never sell my vehicle
wow i love it
It's actually stunning in person. I judged it in photos.
This car looks great, but I will stick to my 2013 prestige version for a while
We test drove this, the Volvo, BMW X5 and chose the Volvo. Our previous vehicle was the 2nd generation X5. Happy with our choice thus far.
just test drove this thing for 2 days and I can affirm all the good stuff but the front seats are way too uncomfortable. You feel like sitting on top of the seats rather than in them. Also, the driver seat is positioned too high. I am 6ft and could not find a comfortable lower seating position, even though the seat has a 1000 adjustments. Unfortunately that was a deal breaker for me. Hasn't anybody found the same flaw?
+Ken Schneider Honestly I found the opposite, maybe it depends on the trim? I was in a premium plus? I'm 6' 4" and I fit perfect, even with the sunroof! That was shocking xD
i would still choose the volvo xc90
+Nik Bellic I would too.
+Nik Bellic If only the xc90 had a better engine option....and 4wheel steering.. It could be near perfect. I haven't tried the T8 hybrid though.
+Nik Bellic How can you afford it when Volvo pays you just 5c per post!? You'll have to work 100 years to afford one.
asupshik that's savage man! now we're going to need a coffin.
Sabby Sodhi no
The car broke down the very first day I took delivery. Wish I could send pictures. For 4 weeks, the same repeated errors. Tank system fault, safety system malfunction, stability control system fault etc. will never go near an Audi dealership in my life.
Michael Mensah That's because you never took care of your audi, or you had bad luck. Remember, Audi is the third reliable car
Did you just read that he had a problem the day of delivery idiot. And even the most reliable car brand has lemons dip shit
small typo... not 225 lb.ft... 325 lb.ft.. but great review!
Review the 2016 Infiniti QX60!
this looks amazing but I wish getting in the 3rd row seats didn't take 2 steps
who is the best? audi q7? or mercedes-benz gle suv?
Aldinur Rahman for hybrid go Audi for more luxury go Mercedes
Abood W what do you mean with "hybrid for audi"? and "luxury for mercedes-benz"? and what do you choose? i mean the car...
Aldinur Rahman Mercedes GLE doesn't have good fuel economy, but I find it quite luxurious than the audi, the audi has the better fuel economy and it's also a hybrid and a little bit ugly on the outside, you choose if you don't care about fuel economy go Mercedes for sure !
Abood W no i would like to choose audi...
Wouldn't the Q7 compete with the GLS and Lexus GX?
Different segment with GLS, and Lexus GX is a body on frame truck!
Everything looks like everything else in the Audi universe
This is how I expect Paul Rudd to review a car hahaha 😂
I hope this car. I Love You. AUDI❤
this and the Volvo xc90 are top notch
i believe it's an SUV with an Audi A6 driving dynamics.
I like the interior
NICE! I'd like a high-end cloth, alcantara or micro-fiber option instead of animal skin (aka leather).
It’s the perfect DUV, to me at least.
Needs more engine choices
I really want to like the new Q7, but I really don't like the new exterior, honestly I think a Kia Sorrento SX looks more upscale from the outside.
+Barobran92 until you see the kia badge xD Just playing, but you have a point the new sorrento looks amazing...
special...the only premium SUV without a stitched dash.
so, this is a nice car and no way am I about to compare it to my current car since the audi out classes it completely lol
but why is tje cargo space so small? my rav4 has the same amount behind the second row and if I remember hearing correctly in a different review about this car it obly has 71.2 cubic feet of space and my 2011 rav4 has 73.
i feel there should be waaay more. maybe I'm missing something?
You’re missing a few things. Here’s one major difference: the RAV4 can tow 1,500 pounds (Hybrid can tow 1,750 lbs.), while the Q7 with a 3.0 can tow 7,700 pounds. Also, the Q7 has that extra third row for when you have to car pool your kids’ team (and the six-cylinder engine that has the oomph yo handle the extra load).
You call 19 & 25 mpg “good?”
This thing has a massive tank though.
Nice car, but I wouldn't be able to afford the repairs and maintenance.
As long as you're covered by warranties it shouldn't be that bad. Maintainance isn't as expensive as people think and repair will be expensive if it's major parts that's why you want to have warranties when buying luxury cars like Audi
Six year warranty.
lovely car...
There must be more challenging from Audi . Super awd with more offroad abilities. something can compete with Nissan patrol or QX80 or escalid based on truck thats makes step to challenge that cars..
If I'm paying $60K for a SUV, at least have power second row seats
Cars are already wayyy cheaper than they are in other countries. In Asia, you need to pay 3 times more to get the Q7 . $60K is the price for mid trim Audi A4 in lots of other countries
Thanks, Ewan McGregor
in this class of vehicles volvo xc90 is the best
Not exactly...
Plenty of comparisons test other wise.
+GBDJ_45 please for the love tell me you don't think this is the best
Michael Taffe seats are not exactly as comfortable as the ones in the Volvo, but very close, but then the suspension adds up to the not-as-good-as-the-Volvo's seats if you go for the air suspension, with the standard suspension is evenly matched imo
it's quieter, more efficient, the middle row is better than the XC90's because it's way more spacious
+Shaurya Kumar Gautam If only the xc90 had a better engine option....and 4wheel steering.. It could be near perfect.
Is this the Ant-Man actor in this video?
How hard
Wow, that Audi Q7 is one Sharp Ass vehicle for some Big money too but, I sure do love it..xoxoxoxo
Superb but this is not the entry level model
Looks great too bad it won't last just like Volvo xc90
I'm not really sure what you are saying, but this car would be more dependable than the XC90 by far.
my dad has this car
Hyundai Q7
The front looks quite boring and like any other Audi.
My ideal SUV has the exterior of the X5 M but the interior of the XC90.
Couldn't agree more, the xc90 interior is amazing, and bmw exteriors are great
thats why its called an audi
Old Q7 looked better
+Bryce , no! new Q7 nice car! best of the world!
Says another sheep who's only seen pictures online...yawn.
Always amazes me how car engineers goof on items like that horrendous second row process to get to the 3rd row... zero reason for it. Or how a 2017 car doesn't have wireless charging. Or how a 'luxury' car has ANY plastic inside. Or the giant drive shaft hump killing foot room for the center second row seat. And speaking of the second row seat.... find one that is comfortable and I will show you a liar.
It isn't perfect... That back end design is absolutely hideous, Sad because overall its a pretty nice looking CUV.
BUT this press car is showing a 60K fully spec out Q7... FAR from the Q7 which directly competes in the segment with other cars.
That torque is extremely low
The older generation looks better to me
+Naif. Z thought i was the only one, but the inside does look better i guess.
+Nick Yes the interior is way better
+Naif. Z That's your opinion. Also stop by a dealership and compare looks side by side. New Q7 looks better in person.
+asupshik Exactly. Pictures and videos don't do the new Q7 any justice. It's really nice in person.
new q7 interior demolishes the old one
May Car , Big issint Bejb !! I Love im!!
First comment in two years lol
The exterior design is disappointing. Where's the innovative design-thinking? The design looks boring.
😅
Encabezado de la factura: *** Inc.
it's really nice but it looks pedestrian
I'll take a Tesla Model X instead
Ew!
Lol, I wouldn't use them much anywaus
matt k good luck paying 3x its price
The Tesla looks like a cockroach
the new gen is soo ugly
333 hp and 225lb... disappointing
It’s 325lb they made a typo
I would say these numbers are underrated. This rig pulls
Dear Kelly Blue book please find better review personnel yours truly pissed!
Had an ‘87 Audi that spent more time in the shop than on the road! Never Audi!
Thats ur stupid opinion
The new model looks soo ugly
What an awful intro hahahaha
it's ugly as sin
