I love how you show every single detail about the car unlike others who'd hope in and drive away lol
Absolutely one of the best test drives ever. Plus it has plenty of power.
It doesn't have that much power. It seems barely adequate and that's with the car completely empty. Add another 500 kg and it'll be struggling.
2.0t for a full size SUV, yeah right
Best interior and ride quality in it's class. Audi is absolutely smashing out some beautiful cars these years!
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder because the interior looks like rubbish the mazda CX9 is miles ahead of the interior of this car and cost less.
Ride quality, yes. Interior, not any more, in my opinion. But the quality is there. The style is subjective. Mazda Cx9, Volvo xc90/xc60 are more stylish to my eyes.
bruh@@jeepluv76
from where am sitting, i can feel the smoothness of the driving
I just spent a weekend in Austin Driving a decked out Q7. That thing is incredible, the dash and lights at night are something unlike any car on the market.
This is relaxing to me. I really love the sound you make when you slide you hands on the stirring wheel😂
😉😂😂😂
Stirring wheel 😄

He is driving so smoothly 😁😘❤️❤️
You know a 4 cylinder turbo is pretty strong when it’s “good enough” to put in a 4,700 lb $50K SUV. Underpowered? Maybe a little, but it still moves adequately when you need it to. VW AG’s AE888 engine is pretty remarkable.
I just love the nose of ur hands sliding with the steering wheel lol
we got the 2017 Audi q7 too
great car lot of fun to drive looks great too
Wow i like the new style of showing the car off. Its beautiful.
Thank you so much Chris!!!
aelomari1 glad you like it, I thought we'd get back to our roots with some of these videos!
6:24 lol this part shocked me XD
I love the Audi turn signal sound! 😍😍
I got same exact q7 2.0t as this one except my interior leather is brown with black headliner and 20" wheel. I traded in my 2010 q7 diesel for it. I took five kids and my wife to see eclipse with cargo carrier on the roof drove 600 miles from PA to TN. With lesser weight than previous model. 2.0t power is enough for me. Very smooth acceleration. Engine is quiet when accelerating under 3000 rpm. My previous diesel model was louder even IDLING. Q7 is family car just like caravan. I take my 2018 BMW M4 convertible out when I want more power. I take my 2015 Honda Accord out when I want fuel efficiency(for work), I take my 2015 Toyota Tundra out when I need to haul stuff, last but not least, I take my 2004 Honda Accord v6 coupe (my first car) out......eh.....I just want to LOL. See! different vehicle for different occasion. Perfect!
Must be doing well to have so many cars
Life goals right there
How had the maintenance been? I want one from around 2017-2018 but worried about the cost of fixing
One of the best review I watched and also when it comes to upper segment cars
whoa that glass building at the end look amazing:()
What camera do you use. The video quality is amazing!
N&T Auto Reviews probably a “Go Pro”
That thing is scary quiet. Probably the most quiet suv out there. I even test drove the XC90 and BMW X5.
Neat and clean design...love the q7
Also my favorite test drive ever made :))
I have the 2019 I’m not a speed racer it drives really nice the 2.0 it’s plentiful to get on highway and it’s smooth too . If u wanna drive racier you can put it in dynamic mode and you will feel the torque . I leave it on comfort or auto most of the time . It also has more torque than my old Q7 with the 3.6 liter engine I like it a lot and it’s fun to drive too :)
@superfuresh it’s been great so far I love it and my better half and best friend drive it love it too . I had to get a replacement tire because of a nail . That was 500 bucks at audi they balanced and did there thing like it never happened . I got it certified with 5000 miles . It has 12000 miles now I took it in for service and I bought the audi care . They did 20000 mile service on it they changed oil and brake fluid . That was covered . The alignment was fine but they suggested so I got that and had to pay 225 because the tires are expensive and to be safe they also rotated the tires too . The audi care was 1400 and it covers all maintenance to 50000 miles . I change oil every 5000 miles I don’t trust the ten thousand mile thing . It drives great on highway great passing power and the bose is broken in and sounds great too . I turn off surround and audio pilot . Every one likes the google maps on the screens they look neat when you see a baseball field or trees and water :) reliability so far has been great ! Just like my old Q7 3.6 ! Let’s not talk about my 2.7 Allroad 🤣🤣🤣 that car was a nightmare on elm street ! Always broken ! And I put thousands in it trying to keep it alive it lasted 6 years till I had enough and traded it for the Q7 3.6 my best friend felt bad for me he gave me 2000 bucks for it and sent it to the auction 😂😂😂. He owned a dealer at that time he no longer does car sales tho he’s in finance now but they rent the property out .
For those who complain about small engines, go buy your old school v6 or v8 then. The companies who failed to adopt changes won't survive, technology only gets better anyway. Most consumers aren't car enthusiast like us, big engines only thrive in niche brand and models.
Jeremy Yin I agree.
What's old school about the 3.0T motor? That's far better suited to a vehicle like this. I drove the 2018 Audi Q5 with this 2.0T and it's brilliant but the Q5 is far lighter and won't be carrying 7 people plus their baggage. Smaller FI motors are fine but there's a limit.
Small engines are fine in smaller vehicles. The Q7 is Audi's largest SUV. At least throw in a V6 supercharger or the V8 twin turbo. You cannot ask for a premium price and throw in a dog shit V4 turbo.
“V4” 😂
Yin....you are clearly ASIAN...meaning you will NATURALLY love and accept 4cyl cars....meaning Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, etc = JAPANESE CARS. what do you know about V8 cars? NOTHING. you have no clue how a 4cyl works on a heavy cars...sure, turbos will do the work, for how long?
I have this engine in my A4 and it's great. But the same thing in a Q7? Good luck getting anywhere near those EPA numbers
in Europe we also get the S Q7 which has a 4.0 Biturbo V8 Diesel with 435 BHP and 900Nm of torque
Дуже файний та цікавий автомобіль, відчувається міць та благородство. Дуже цікави лінії у дизайні.
It's very nicely and interesting car, feels power and nobility. Sophisticated design on all lines.
I love the Audi q7. But one question. Which trim comes with apple CarPlay?
Parking looks amazing
I Love
This Car
Know Audi Q7 with remote open and close all 4 wimdows? Thanks.
Nice video quality
Q7 should have a standard 3.0 or higher
Pap
i suppose so
Dobrze sobie radzi z tym potworem.
That's a really nice car. Sounds really quiet unless you're going over bumps. Also sounds like the engine is working a little too hard, probably not as refined as a V6 would sound. I'd still buy one of these though.
Honestly, you don't need the 6. The 6 sounds nicer but the 4 sounds fine. Mostly I have a radio or music on anyway and once you're cruising, you don't hear much of anything and this car is quieter than most. For the way most people drive this car, which is only accelerating hard to go up hills or pass or merge onto the highway, the 4 does the job.
Super nice 👍 I love this video, hi 👋 from Russia!
Wow slamming them doors had me like annoyed but love the videos😭
What ever happened to the guy who drove around with the brown leather watch band? That guy was on point and drove well
thanks，谢谢，这个真的是太棒了
How long will these small turbo engines last?
I remember the times, when we've had engines that could've easily go beyond 300-400k...
I bet thiss little small thing will explode around 150k if you'll drive it in aggressive way.
AE888 engine has been around for over 10 years. It’s got an iron block which doesn’t hurt for longevity. Makes 300 hp in the Golf R and these can withstand 400+ hp without needing to upgrade pistons, rods etc. Its the plastic components that fail first, like most engines.
What is it Camera?
I have no idea whether Q7 awsome or not but I've been crazy with your supreme camera.Could u tell me what type your camera is?
É o carro mais lindo que eu ja vi na vida😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great video, always a fan of your videos. Can you make a video on GMC Acadia
Amazing video brother 💯
I think it's just a comparison but I still have to ask, is the wind noise and road noise actually that loud or it just becuase there's nothing else so they stood out as much?
thank you
Super real avto
holy fk that little engine must be working hard pushing a Q7
Probably not, that little engine puts out a decent amount of hp.
Frankie G bottom in
You can get a more powerful V6 engine in the Q7 for a few grand more, which I would get
Frankie G
Hholy fkthat litt leengine mustbe
It’s smooth and peppy it pulls great to pass for a 2.0 turbo it’s tuned for sure to work with Q7 check out the 3.0 not much difference may be a couple more horsepower but this car is a cruiser not a S5 !
Can u please do a 2017 acura mdx or the hybrid one? Thanks
I love Audi
Que maravillosa maquina!!! A lo que logro llegar el hombre!!!!
drove it hard without being a douchenozzle to the other drivers. A+ sir A+!!
I think i just felt in love
Please you gotta do a video on the 2017 Porsche Macan? Thank you!!
Con la ayuda de Dios y poniéndolo a el primero en todo, algún día obtendré esta nave audi Q7 :)
Amen 🙏🏽
...love audi🤗 ..really cool car👍
Prima o poi comprerò questa macchina ve lo giuro ragazzi 😍 (11/12/2017)
CT6 😭❤ 2017 &2018
This whole small engine with a turbo thing is getting out of hand. That engine is too small for this car, next thing you know they'll be putting a triturbo 2 cylinder in the next generation
Tehgziz Lauw
Only way around the oppressive fuel economy and emissions laws.
The 3.0 version is wayyyyyy better in terms of power
Tehgziz Lauw - I totally get what you mean but the fact is that these cars are a direct reflection of what is actually bought by actual consumers. If people didn't buy cars like this they would not be on the market. People like to see cars with big naturally aspired engines. They like to see cars with manual gear boxes. They just don't buy them. A company can not work by producing what they can't sell.
If I get:
*Good power
*Decent torque
*Good fuel economy
*Durability
Then I don't care, honestly. They can put a two cylinder quad turbo in the next gen Q7 if they want to, as long as it gives the above.
At least you can tow your espresso machine with it.
love it
With how hard these engines will need to be pushed they probably won’t last long. Especially being turbo’d and with long oil drain intervals. But at the same time the intended design works, engine may be small but you are able to utilize 100% of it. What’s the point of having like 400hp in a Escalade when you may only use 60% of the power most of the time?
Honestly before buying this just get the TDI motor. The internals are strong and the torque output is great for it's size which will push a heavy Q7 with ease. At worst, you need to install a catch can system in the diesels to prevent oil/carbon deposits in the intake and intake valves. Because Audi doesn't sell as many TDI models (in North America at least) dealers will discount them quite a bit and the proven fuel savings will make for the slightly higher price than other models.
I too am getting sick of these 2.0T engines slapped in 2.5 ton SUV's. Only brand trying to refine and retain the traditional V-6's is Toyota notably in sedans. Perhaps trying an enthusiast appeal. They kept theirs more up to date than Honda, which is partly why the Accord dropped the V-6 option but the Camry retained. Who ever saw Camry as the enthusiast's choice?
What kind of quattro has? Torsen or Aldex?
Realistically who would drive there 2.0t Audi Q7 like they're on a rally stage?
L love audi. Thanks
in europa the smallest engine for q7 is 3.0 v6
in usa 2.0 L4
that's fun
Actually the same engine they use for the new A4 too. Audi's most powerful 4 cylinder and in it's class :D
252 bhp isn't too cheap though. Plenty of power to get the Q7 around, especially in cities.
in it's class?
are you kidding me? in europe there's a lot of more powerfull 2.0 4L than 252hp audi engine.
and 250hp 2.0 turbocharger gas engine cant match in torque against the most common engine for this kind of vehicle in europe, the 3.0 v6 turbodiesel, 370nm is ridicolus low torque for a full size suv, a similar power 3.0 v6 have 550-600 nm and even with lower consumption.
there's no reason to chose this engine other than fake homologation test and slight lower price
I meant in the A4's class segment, it is the most powerful.
no, the most powerfull 2.0 L4 in his segment is the alfa romeo giulia with 2.0 280hp
Well, I just learned something new today. But Audi seems to have "had" the class-leading power output before the 2016 release of the Giulia :D
cool building in the beginning to:()
can you drive a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse?
i want a testride :D
Audi has to stop putting such small engines in large cars. I understand the economy laws but that engine must struggle to put any power down. If someone wanted a fuel efficient/economy SUV they wouldn't buy a Q7.
dameonferguson the engine is good for a Q5 but not a Q7! Luckily Audi doesn't offer 4 cyl diesels in Europe
Lol, just don't buy it. Q7 has gorgeous 3.0l 375bhp TDI
dameonferguson no diesels in America after diesel gate scandal
Luke W They also have 333hp 3.0 petrol engine. Do they ship this one to US
Or petrol, depending on where you are in the world. You'd have to be an idiot to try and correct that.
i like q 7
is it CVT?
Love it
My fav
Now that Kia and Hyundai are making great looking interiors the Germans are gonna have to step it up not in materials but in their designs
I agree. Volvo has also stepped it up both in materials and design. The new Audi interior is nicer, though (A6, A8). BMWs aren't much different than their usual.
did you notice the guy was holding BOTH of his hand on the steering wheel? please, do the same!
Audi Q7 lawnmower engine edition
😥😙😙😙😙😚😚😚
in Germany, you dont even get the Q7 with petrol engine.
Only 3.0 V6 Diesel is available here ;)
What camera did you use?!
I'm wondering the same thing!
I know I am very very late to answer but click into his channel and go into about, it
Will tell you the camera and the equipment\
It's "Go Pro"
Meu pai viajou com uma dessa pra Santa Catarina
I understand Volvo's rationale for the 2.0L in the XC90 as they are a small company with small R&D budget. At least the XC90 has a twincharger to make up for the small engine. Audi however...what are you doing?
Putting a 2.0T in an SUV as big as the Q7 is a sin. Absolutely horrendous to buy that. At least put in the 3.0 Supercharger or the 4.0TT.
If you live in urban areas I do think a 4 cylinder with 252 BHP should be more than enough, plus it get's some better mpg
Which country is this?
I wish they made it sound more like BMWs with Active Sound Control (e.g. 5 Series, 4 Series) I know it’s fake but it makes it sound like their six cylinder engines.
my favor brand
First moments i tought this is a Volkswagen Tuareg. Jeeez...
i like your videos thank u.
Pls do bentley bentayga review
What country are you from?
iill stay with my 2010 3.6 premium plus. engine sounds weak to me but beautiful car
a 1.8L Inline 6 turbo would be more exciting
Im test drive this car
andrei pri pro really nega
Yes
Um dia vou ter um desse 🚘Q7
わゃら
I get that the gas law are horrible in Germany but really, a 2 litre engine for a Q7, that's a lot for such a small engine...this version is for those that only care about the luxury and the feel of the car not the performance
It's like I'm watching a Boeing 747 with boeing 737 engines. Just saying how their reducing engine size day by day....
Do u own all of the cars you review?
Lots of controls for Audi
Ouah, super le cash moteur ...
Trust me people complain about small engine in a suv !! Belive me in some country with a traffic jam and bumpy road like Cambodia u can own a car with v8 or v12 but u can never push ur car over 30km/h in city or more than 150km/h in Province road haha plus petrol way not cheap too!! Choose wisely
cool
