Q7 [Official] Audi Q7


I'm curious what you guys think of a comparison between the Q7 and the MB GLS450?

The Q7 is newer and very tech packed. What would make someone buy the GLS over the Q7 is the space. While both have a third row, the GLS's greater size can accomodate 7 big adults comfortably. In Europe, the GLS is and the Toyota Land Cruiser are the only SUVs with this ability.
 
Hopefully the next GLS will truly be a S variant.

I hate how Merc have gave the impression these new facelift suv's are new vehicles with their name changes.

I wish they invested more in the interiors, they really can't compete with the Q7/X5 with interiors as dated as theirs.
 
Yeah, the interior of the GLS is not a Q7 for sure. MB will update it. Take a look at the E-Class interior. Now that's what they need to mimic on the GLS.

having owned the q7 for a couple of months , and having the drive assistance, I can report that it is helpful driving the car on the interstate....You do have to pay attention, as periodically it looses it markings and quits momentarily....I found the time to get to trust it, is the most tiring, as you have to pay even more attention.....It isn`t hard to see that a self driving car will be in the future, but it definitely will take some time...The q7 , which is my wife`s car is very quiet and feels more like the sedan, which I owned in the past for eight or nine years, as it was that good. The biggest contribution to the self driving element in the q7 was missing it when I got back in my truck :-)...Tony

I'm only 5'10 and I can't sit comfortably in the back of either car, both have pretty similar amount of room.
 
Damn the Q7 is really growing on me, the Q7 Hybrid has had a prioce reduction in Norway, it's now only a few thousand more then the Q7 3.0TDI, it's a no brainer which one is the better car, in fact the Q7 Hybrid has the most bang for the buck out of any large SUV in the Norwegian market, nothing else with the same HP is within a couple of hundred thousand of the base price. Which makes me think the next Toureg with hybrid power train will be really well priced and something worth looking at.
 
The Q7 looks great in those pics. It's one of those cars that grows on a person. I sat inside one at the Qatar Motor Show and was blown away by its brilliant interior which is mega comfortable and super hi tech and built impeccably

Audi's are like that girl you don't like at first, only for you to like them when you get to know them better.

Like an Audi it's her inner beauty that wins you over?

Or is it just because everything feels so tight and well built once you're inside?

Wait... what were we talking about again....
 
I had a proper go at the SQ7 today. It is a very very quick car, very smooth and it handles really well for a car this size, but the whole driving experience leaves me a bit cold.

How was the thrust? Supreme?

Thrust is the best word to describe it, despite the triple turbo (two normal turbo+one electric assisted turbo) there is still turbo lag, and because it is a diesel engine it doesn't quite have the immediate response as a petrol engine, but man, once that engine gets going, it really pushes you into the seats. It feels so seamless and unstoppable.

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
