2024 Audi Q7

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says Audi adds its new infotainment system, already in the A6, A7, A8 and Q8, that Premium Plus trims get a configurable ambient interior lighting system as standard, and that the top Prestige 55 can be ordered with an S Line Sport package with unique 21- or 22-inch wheels, red brake calipers, black trim and sport seats; a 261-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder with a 12-volt hybrid system is standard. MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) lists a standard 10.1-inch upper and 8.6-inch lower touchscreen and standard automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high beams.

Motor Illustrated (opens in a new tab) describes the refresh as laser lights, an updated interior and a feature that tells other drivers if they are tailgating you. EPA rates the 2024 Q7 at 21 mpg combined and about $3,700 a year in fuel, all with all-wheel drive.

NHTSA lists three recall campaigns for the 2024 Q7. 23V868000 covers a driver's seat side air bag that may have been improperly mounted to the seatback frame, 24V251000 an electrical connection in the front passenger seat that may loosen and deactivate the front passenger air bag by disabling the occupant detection system, and 25V900000 a rear-visibility software update. Owners have filed two complaints with NHTSA. Consumer Reports (opens in a new tab) rates the 2024 Q7 less reliable than other cars from the same model year.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists used 2024 Q7 prices from $35,000 for the 45 TFSI Premium Plus to $46,100 for the 55 TFSI Prestige at a dealership, with trade-in values of about $27,000 to $36,200 and private-party values of about $33,600 to $44,300.

EPA rates the 2024 Q7 at 21 mpg combined and $3,700 a year. The 2024 BMW X5 rates 15 to 25 at $3,100 to $5,150, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 16 to 24 at $3,250 to $4,850, the Volvo XC90 23 to 27 at $2,850 to $3,350 and the Lexus RX 24 to 36 at $2,150 to $3,250. On EPA figures the Q7 is less efficient than the XC90 and RX, and the RX, with its hybrid, is the most efficient of the five.
