Minor changes to trim-level content and optional features for 2021.
Pros Exceptional interior materials and build quality Excellent ride quality Plenty of safety and infotainment tech features Surprisingly agile handling
Cons Offers less cargo space than most competitors Cramped third-row seat Infotainment system is distracting to use
The 2021 Audi Q7 fuses a high-class cabin and abundant tech features with a coddling ride, engaging handling, and energetic engines, but it falls short on cargo and third-row space. The Q7 does not have an overall score or ranking because it has not been scored for predicted reliability.
Pros Powerful engines Well-balanced ride and handling Lots of high-tech features Opulent cabin
Cons Subpar cargo space Tight third row
The 2021 Audi Q7 three-row SUV features more standard safety and convenience features, an excellent infotainment system, and a soft, luxurious ride.
Pros Sophisticated interior More standard safety tech Improved touchscreens Standard virtual cockpit SQ7 performance model
Cons New engine is less efficient V-6 is about $6,000 more, depending on trim Third row for children only Third-row access should be easier
The two-door "90" body style sees increased availability for 2021 and now comes in base, S, X, First Edition, and new X-Dynamic trims. Speaking of X-Dynamic, this new trim level is also now available on the four-door "110" model and provides the appearance items from the top-spec X without the expensive off-road-tech features, such as the adjustable air suspension and active differential.
PROS Legendary off-road abilities, smooth on-road ride, nicely outfitted cabin.
CONS Six-cylinder engine isn't as perky as expected, best accessories and options add a lot to the bottom line, brakes are difficult to smoothly modulate.
