The Mat Watson review: why the new Audi Q7 is like a coal-powered flagship smartphone
5 Views · 21d ago
Ever wondered what a luxury SUV with cutting-edge tech and a classic diesel engine is like? I tested the new Audi Q7 in France, and it’s weirdly brilliant.
Up against the old Q7 and BMW’s new X5, it’s wider with more road presence, a bigger illuminated grille (no lit badge in Europe due to ad laws). Its light tech projects shifting road carpets and orange arrow indicators. The test car had 23-inch rims (way better than standard 20s), no more fake exhaust tips, and a vastly upgraded interior.
Would you roll with a flagship SUV pairing old-school diesel with futuristic tech, or is diesel too outdated?
