2021 Audi Q7 Review
2021 Audi Q7 Review - WHAT WE LIKE: Our Audi Q7 is a typical Swiss Army knife. The three-row SUV is just as experienced at shuttling guests on long road trips as it is pulling a trailer or traveling down a twisty two-lane country road. Credit score its cushy and skilled four-corner air-spring suspension, part of our long-termer's $4000 Adaptive Framework bundle. The pricey choice is a video game changer that gives the 5085-pound people mover the lateral fortitude of lighter and reduced cars yet imbues it with the ride comfort of the Audi A8 front runner high-end sedan-- even on our long-termer's huge 21-inch wheels.
WHAT WE DON'T LIKE: The Q7's smallish third-row seat continuouslies elicit complaints from staff members. A minor problem is the Online Cockpit digital scale collection's brightness, which even in its dimmest setup can be blinding during the night for some pilots.
Use the big Audi also disclosed a few towing-specific peculiarities while in the hands of elderly online editor Kevin Wilson, that lugged a tiny camper for a two-week road trip.

" Linking the trailer's electrics set off a tow setting that, most certainly, caused the Q7's eight-speed automatic transmission efficiently locking out accessibility to its leading 2 gears-- dragging fuel economic climate down to an indicated 10 to 12 mpg," Wilson kept in mind. "Tow mode likewise deactivated the automated-emergency-braking and lane-keeping-assist systems."

WHAT FAILED: Tires and also technology. More than 10,000 miles ago we discovered that the front tires were putting on inconsistently. With just over 20,000 miles on the Q7's odometer, we sprang for a new set of front rubber at an expense of $727 and had the local Audi car dealership give our Q7 an alignment-- an added $600 expense. Thus far, the issue seems solved, however we're continuing to keep a close eye on front-tire wear as the Q7 approaches 40,000 miles.
Not long after these tire difficulties, the Q7's infomercial system began breaking down. Numerous motorists reported that the MMI display would certainly power off, retract right into the dash, reboot itself, and afterwards rise back up from the dashboard as if absolutely nothing had taken place. As the miles endured, this habits raised its frequency dramatically, with the Q7's infotainment system on a regular basis rebooting itself multiple times during the training course of a short journey. The Audi has actually given that spent several days at the supplier in search of a solution, however fruitless. We're waiting for the parts to arrive for the current suggested solution-- a new control device. We'll see if this corrects our Q7's infotainment difficulties.

Lastly, we somehow handled to damage the clip for the passenger-side sunlight visor, as well as changing the piece set us back a hefty $536. While it went to the shop, we also had the Q7's 30,000-mile solution carried out. The $261 regular maintenance contained an oil modification and also a basic examination.

WHERE WE WENT: When it wasn't trundling regarding southeast Michigan, the Q7 took place a quartet of longer trip over the course of the last 10,000 miles. The first was the abovementioned two-week, 1000-plus-mile outdoor camping ride around the state of Michigan. With a virtually 3000-pound camper in tow, Wilson found that the Q7 and its supercharged V-6 engine drew the extra lots "conveniently sufficient." As it should, considering our Q7 is rated to tow as much as 7700 pounds.
Not long after, deputy online editor Dave VanderWerp took the Q7 on an approximately 2000-mile round trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina. Also, the Q7 made 2 separate journeys from Ann Arbor to Chicago: one with Purchaser's Guide assistant editor Eric Stafford as well as an additional with online editor Alexander Stoklosa. However, both trips were ruined by the ongoing infomercial gremlin.
