This review really helped my family a lot in choosing a new car. We live in a country where your car will definitely be scratched or stolen, even if it's six or seven years old. We used to have a Cayenne with keyless engine start and it was stolen after about three months of use. We had never thought of using battery protection on the key like you showed at the beginning of the video. Thank you very much!
Love your car... the only things I really miss are the ceramic brakes and the all wheel steering, we got that in our SQ7 and that makes the driving experience much more cooler
All wheel steering is a must in my opinion, we have ceramic brakes on our sq7 too and they are not really good, they don’t have initial bite (they must be heated up) and they are sometimes squeaking, and when is raining on highway, they just not brake for a first second...
@@honza2755 same having a SQ7 mate, I don’t have the ceramic brakes just the normal steel brakes, but it does make squeaking sound at the final bite of braking(it will be gone after heated up tho). Not sure this is a common issue for this model or it’s just my car...
I’ve got a SQ7 Vorsprung. It’s fantastic, however. I agree with your comments re the steering; it’s unnecessarily heavy and makes it less agile. Weirdly the steering isn’t bad on a very long highway run.
@@AutoTopnl I have the same car just without the S The steering is akward, sometimes when i don‘t hold the steering it just turns to the right or to the left although the street is straight and clean.
Absolutely brilliant car, too bad they don’t produce the Diesel V8 anymore. New regulations sucks... Insane dream Car, great choice, have a lot of fun! :)
Great review and great car Max. Audi is my favourite premium brand and I like Q7 since its beginning in mid 2000s. I only think that Q8 is more beautiful and obviously newer with better interior design and looks a bit sportier than Q7 that is simply too big. But love them both and I agree with you for the engine choice, it's a beast. On to the next video, keep going Max😀👍
Q7/SQ7 really are impressive cars on a fast motorway canter. Had my new 50tdi mapped by MRC Tuning to 380bhp and 890nm. Weighs about 100kgs less than the SQ7 so very similar performance. Fantastic family suv. Having had RS6 V10 before it really does make me question if id ever go back to an avant. The higher driving position compromises handling although not by much and theres the benefit of better forward visibility in all conditions.
When you talked about the Cars being stolen I felt bad. Imagine you used your Life Saving and years of hard work to get your dream car and someone Steals it :(
@@Enko063 faster on paper. They (AutoTopNL) even did a comparison and bmw was quicker🙂 But the other arguments sound reasonable and I agree. In my opinion SQ7 is also better looking.
Am I wrong or they stopped the production of the 4.0 v8 tdi because for a really little moment there it was the sq8 with the v8 diesel and 435 hp and I love it but now is not available anymore apparently ; (
@@lukatavcar8305 yes I know but having a v8 diesel in a 2021 car was something special and you don’t get the same torque or strong power of a v8 diesel in a v8 standard I mean it was something that only Audi could think that they could remake...a big v8 diesel...anyway have a nice day
@@o_o-_-8639 Europe is quite anti-diesel at the moment with all the emission regulations and stuff. Would probably be too expensive for Audi to continue with a V8 diesel
@@dnzry2218 yeah ik now it's just the end of the era for big diesel in Europe...well I at least wish that they are gonna use the W8 from the old Passat and maybe put it in the arteon or it would be interesting an rs3 with a W6 engine since it's going to use the space of a 2.0 l but it's a 3.0...anyway have a nice day ; )
I own a sq7 TDI wonder what the performance difference is in real life comparing to the new TFSI version. If you get a chance to review and compare please do. I personally think the fuel consumption on the new tfsi doesn’t justify the performance gain.
What do you need carbon ceramic brakes for? Have you ever driven a car with ceramic brakes? In winter, when it's cold, the brakes squeal. On the highway if you drive and you don't brake often, your brakes are cold suddenly you have to brake hard and you have cold brakes that can be dangerous!. And yes, I had carbon ceramic brakes myself and never again.
I am also thinking of buying an prefacelift SQ7. I am looking for a comfortable, quick car. Would you rather recommend a SQ7 or Q8 for this purpose? Sometimes my mind thinks also of an RS4/5 But this might be not a good idea for my familily?!
Is it also a SQ8 that you think of, or just a regular Q8? Obviously the Q8 is a new model so it has all the advanced features and the new interior. Both are good cars, the Q8 is better looking though in my opinion
@@ag488 Depends what you prioritize then. If you want the V8 diesel, get the SQ7. If you want the new interior and a more comfortable ride and in my opinion a better looking car, get the Q8. Either way both are nice cars and I wish you a lot of fun with either of them when you do decide to buy one
I love seeing these fancy Audi S/RS models that have the same stainless steel pedals as my VW GLI 😂 Max that is a sick color, I love the spec of this car and would happily drive an SQ7 if I needed something that size.
My dad has almost this exact car but with the comfort seats and in a metallic blue color with “sparkles” in And he has it tuned to 505 HP and about 1000 Newtons, it Can really be felt when driving around!!! It is a truly incredible car
Im just wondering if it actually could do the 100-200 faster. Thats because in S mode it revs to 5000 rpm, doesnt go under 4000 rpm that much at all when flooring it. I do think that even a v8 diesel has much torque to offer at that rpm range. Would be interesting to see the result in D mode or just manul shifting around 4000-4500 rpm.
Heey Max, amazing review! I have been following you for quite some time, and I have a question; I am currently driving a BMW440i myself, and my wife drives an Audi A3 2.0 quattro ABT. We are expecting a baby, so I am looking to replace the A3 for something with more space. I mostly wanna use the new car for daily commute (50km), driving to family (250km), vacation (wintersport, 1000km), and towing a horse trailer (10x a year, using my 440i for that now), prob we ll drive 15k-20k a year. I am considering 3 cars, in the same €70-€90k budget; 1) SQ7 (2017), S6 Avant (V8 version, 2018), RS6 (2016). I have watched a ton of your video’s and I think the SQ7 or the S6 are the best options for my use. What would you recommend me?
Why did you go for SUV and not for sedan?Just wondering, because I feel like sedans are more elegant and therefore more pretty, but that is a personal opinion. What is you reasoning?
You talked about the steering in the old SQ7 test. Then it was beacuse you had lane assist activated so it actually was supposed to try and stay in the middle. Maybe you forgot to turn that off now as well?
For the money you could buy a normal Q7 fully functional. I can afford RS or S but i always go for the normal A version. Those codes are going to cost you alot.

Did you consider BMW X5 m50d? And if so, what made you choose the Audi? Just curious, if you wanted Q7 from the beginning or not.
SQ7 is larger vehicle and also faster, and has V8.

V8
BMW is overworking the 3l in the M50d spec, long term durability favours this 4l V8.

Guys, I have a question: what is your fav audi of all time? (Audi Q7 V12 TDI doesn't count)
RS-6, no matter which year
RS5 with N/A V8
ttrs, perfection for me. The steering wheel, the engine, quttro, exhaust sound and and and...and so freaking easy to tune 500hp+
Audi rs6 avant
Original R8 V10 manual transmission and RS6 c7 and bonus Audi the SQ8
Can you do also youngtimers ? We are bored about new cars
Been looking in buying one.
Kinda thinking between this and a Porsche Cayenne S.
I have the same key protector for my E91 330d because it has keyless go.
Thats niiice. Try to clean the steering wheel it would make it look brand new!
