Giving serious thought to an SQ7 (to replace a Q7 that has treated me well for 75K miles), and I just had a Boxster S flashed with APR stage 1 today, very happy. Thanks for the video, really liking the thought of an SQ7 with a tune and close to 700 HP!!
@@good3nough947 Hi there. I replaced my 2018 Q7 with a 2021 SQ7. Love the SQ7. Is there any way of doing an oil change using an oil extractor? I hate going to the dealer for an oil change. Did my first oil change at the dealership a month ago and they spilt oil all around the oil filler and a couple of other spots too. Also wish I could install a dipstick like I did in my regular Q7 but it does not seem to be possible to either get one or install one in the SQ7. Curious if you have any thoughts or info on this.
Damn, ok I guess I'm getting ARP Stage 1 for my Q7. Has it effected you gas mileage negatively with normal (not flooring it everywhere) driving? Also is the only upgrade software or do you have other upgrades?
Thanks for watching. The MPG has improved 2-3mpg. I've been driving it normally and I've managed to hit 25mpg (70% hwy on a 100mile trip) from the MPG measurement software on Virtual Cockpit. Usually I see 21-23mpg on the same trip (driving to visit family and back). Keep in mind the vehicle in this video is the SQ7. There's a pretty big difference in performance between the SQ7 and the Q7 for Factory tune, and APR tunes.
I have an sq7 but I have never seen the timers. can you tell me where they are or if they come with a certain package. I have 2020 prestige with black package
Thanks for posting. We’re you building full or close to full boost on launches? Just wondering because I know some automotive journalists have gotten into the upper to mid 3s 0-60.
I didn't check the boost gauge, but it's the highest possible during launch. The 0-60 times from automotive testers are usually extremely hard to recreate. I have never come close to matching any 0-60 or 1/4 mile times on all vehicles I've owned. I haven't seen anyone else post any numbers from a 2020+ SQ7, so I don't know how accurate my measurements are.
I don't have a draggy. Was planning to get one, but decided to wait for a revision. Read a lot of connection issues on current version. Also, all these tuning companies run several times and under great conditions to be able to get that perfect advertised number. I doubt if I took my car to the track and ran 3 runs, I would run low 11s. I also don't have the Sports Package that allows more power to be sent to the rear wheels during heavy acceleration.
Traded the SQ7 for the X7 M50i. IMO the X7 is a better all around vehicle. The tune was great, and I miss the 700hp. I'll tune my X7 when the warranty runs out.
@@good3nough947 I have been debating between the SQ7 and X5 M50i. I need to tow my boat on occasion and it weighs about 5600 with trailer. I have heard both suv's with the TT V8 have their issues. Interesting that you prefer the X7 more. Bone stock, they are very similar in performance.

I replaced my 2017 Q7 with this SQ7. The Q7 was already a great vehicle.

@@Peter-gi3re No idea. I purchased Audi Care, so all maintenance is free for 40k miles. I'm sure there's a way, just gotta find it.
Well I did it - traded in my 2017 Q7 for a 2022 SQ7 last week. Love it!! Need to wait a few weeks for APR to update tune for my specific ECU P/N…
Impressive for such a large SUV.
Thanks.
Crazy power for a suv！
I have the some 0-100 4,4s and i have only racechip gts black (car in warrianty) and now i have 3,9-4,0s.

It's a feature that is hidden. You can unlock it with OBDEleven. You can search the AudiWorld forums for some guidance.
@@good3nough947 thanks
Notice any difference in the exhaust note under Dynamic/Sport after the tune?
Exhaust sounds the same in both sport and Dynamic.
How are you liking the APR tune after some time with it? Any issues?
It's been great. Haven't had any issues.
Any issues yet? Considering the APR tune on the SQ7 I just bought as well.

Hey also, is this a North American model? Just wondering how you got the acceleration timers in the dash. Thanks!!
This is USA SQ7. i unlocked the acceleration measurement using OBDeleven.
I heard the instrument gauge is not accurate have any dragy numbers? Ostar just ran a 11.3 on just a tune

still holding up a year later? Picked up a 21 SQ7 and am so tempted.

@@TeddysVentures Both will be able to tow 5600lbs no problem.
Rev does not go over 6000 rpm not good
This is not 2022 sq7
APR can't tune 2022 yet then why said 2022 ?
Title says 2020 SQ7.
Their site says they could tune up to 2023 on SQ7and SQ8.. I just bought a 23 SQ8 and considering a tune.@@good3nough947
