    As always guys, an excellent overview. I love my ‘21 Q7 Prestige which honestly isn’t that much different than the ‘25 model overall. Just some minor tweaks here and there but Audi got it right with this vehicle and unlike many brands, they don’t make changes for change sake. As a result, they hone their vehicles over the life of the car’s cycle. Most drivers today don’t even remember that European cars used to keep the same models for several years and didn’t even change the model years. For titling purposes in the states, there would be a year model assigned but it was still the same model as the prior year. The Q7 is just a more complete package than the X5 or GLE with which they compete and I plan to drive the ‘21 Q7 for a long time.

    We have owned Audi's since 2012 and it's time for a change. The Q7 looks and feels like its 10 years old and the third seat area is basically useless. How many refreshes can you do and not update any of the power trains other than a few tweak's. The competition has improved and I thought I'd never say this but am looking at Japanese..primarily Mazda whom I feel has really improved and very cost competitive at 20+k less.

  • @josephpayton9151

    Honestly, if it were me I would save money and get the VW Atlas which also got a refresh.
    For one, the refresh was more extensive and major than the refresh for this Q7. This refresh is very bland at least for this 45 model that you guys tested. Feature wise, this and the Q7 are pretty much in line. This has a little bit more stuff but it doesn’t make a big difference. In addition to that, the atlas is more practical than this and practicality matters so much in this segment. Its a shame that a compact crossover has more places to put stuff than this. Im also not a fan of all the gloss black used. I couldn’t do it. Too much gloss black would gave me a headache to wipe down and keep clean because of dust and finger prints. I wish Audi would’ve expanded the use of leather. Gloss black seems quite cheap on a 71k suv. Thats a gripe I have on all Audi’s though. You definitely would be better off spending 56 grand on an Atlas SEL premium R-Line than this.

    Embarrassing. Imagine being a salesperson, you sell a family a brand new Q7 in 2016, they come back 3 years later, you sell them 2019 (same car), three years later in 2022 they come to look if there's a new model... nope same car, third time is a charm. Two years pass, peekaboo, another refresh, still same car. Fact check. The current Audi Q7 body design came to life in 2014 (looking at the calculator, 2024-2014 = 10 years ago). First was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January of 2015. Link: czcams.com/video/Qiw4VWPEdLA/video.html
