The 2020 Audi Q7 comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.The Q7 gets a styling refresh for 2020.Audi's newest MMI infotainment replaces the old system.

Pros
Exceptional interior materials and build quality
Excellent ride quality regardless of road surface
Cutting-edge safety and infotainment technology features
Surprisingly agile handling

Cons
Offers less cargo space than most competitors
Cramped third-row seat
New infotainment system is distracting to use

By: 
edmunds.com

The Q7 receives an extensive facelift for 2020, including updated exterior styling, more technology features on the inside, and a new turbocharged V-6 engine that will be the only engine option until Audi re-launches a turbocharged four-cylinder Q7 later in 2020. The 2020 Q7 also adopts the two-row Q8 SUV's touchscreen-heavy interior, featuring a large infotainment display stacked on top of another secondary display that handles vehicle settings and climate control.

Pros
Back-road athleticism,
beautiful and high-tech cabin,
three-row versatility

Cons
Pricey with extras,
snug third row,
subtle styling gets lost in parking lots.
