After a major redesign in 2025, there are not many major changes for the 2026 Audi Q7, but Audi did reorganize several convenience and comfort features throughout the lineup. The Premium trim now offers a package that includes a 360-degree camera system, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and upgraded Bang & Olufsen sound system, while V6 Premium Plus models now include heated rear seats, four-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, acoustic glass, and soft-close doors.

Loved this car - style, drive, classy, worked well for my family of 4 + large dog. Was a money pit so sold before would’ve liked to (and wouldn’t likely buy Audi again due to reliability), but did enjoy owning this vehicle.

I love this car! Mine is a Premium Plus with the Executive Package. I bought it as a certified pre-owned with approximately 3,000 miles on it. This is my third time buying a CPO and find them to be a good value. I have a 3 year old who is still rear facing so second row leg room was very important to me when I bought this (child was 2 at the time). I wanted a luxury car with good trunk space and leg room. I also strongly considered BMW, Volvo, and Mercedes, but ultimately this car checked more boxes for me and felt luxurious inside. I loved the X5, but the 2025 model had less second row leg room than this car and when I purchased it and I knew my child would likely rear face for another two years. While this car is 3 rows, I bought it knowing I will likely never use the 3rd row. It’s really too tight for regular use anyways, and I keep a cargo mat over the back and forget the 3rd row exists (a plus to me). Pros: beautiful exterior and luxurious interior, smooth and quiet ride, comfortable second row, plenty of leg room in first and second row, ample trunk space, fun to drive. Cons: not fuel efficient (I’m getting 18-19 mpg combined), not much space in center console for phone/small items).

Love this car. Lots of leg room in 2nd row, love the bench, love the space & drives like a dream. Easy to park & tons of space (I didn’t want a suburban style car, I wanted something that felt smaller driving). Love how wide the doors swing open for car seats. Love the vents in the back and shades for the kids in the 2nd row.

This car has been so nice to drive! Very smooth on the road and fits our car seats well. The one part of the car we don’t love, is the trunk. It fits a good amount but isn’t tall enough for us to put our stroller in vertically. Other than that, it has been a great car for two kids!

Absolutely love this car for the look and feel of the drive & small luxurious details, but not the most practical for a mom. It is heavy and feels safe and smooth on fast Texas highways. The small cup holders, lack of storage, & small third row aren’t the most functional for a mom. It does have a slightly larger trunk with the third row up than most midsize SUVs that I test drove. With the third row down, the trunk is incredibly big!

We love this car for our family of four right now! The second row is a car seat machine with three separate seats, all with lower anchors. I often sit on the drivers side in the second row with our two kids and I have plenty of space. I also love driving the car. It’s very quiet inside and has the comfort features that you’d expect from a luxury car. There is a lack of cup holders in the second row which is why I rated it slightly lower. Would definitely recommend this car if you’re looking for a mid size with 2-3 kids!

I absolutely love my Q7! It has been the perfect vehicle for my three kids. When I first got it, I only had one child in a car seat, so it was a great setup for our family with the older two having plenty of room. Now that I have my fourth child, it still works really well when I’m driving on my own, especially since my oldest can ride in the front passenger seat. One of my favorite things about the Q7 is how surprisingly wide and comfortable the second row is for a vehicle this size. It makes car seats and multiple kids much easier to manage. Once we have more than five people in the car, though, things get a little trickier. The trunk is fantastic with the third row folded down and still reasonably usable with the third row up. I also love the way the Q7 drives. It handles incredibly well and feels very confident and stable, even in the rain and snow, which is especially important here in the Pacific Northwest. Overall, I’ve really loved this car and have been able to make it work with four kids. That said, as our family grows, I think I’ll be moving into something larger soon. For a family of five or even a family of six that doesn’t always need all the seats. It’s been a fantastic SUV.

Excellent car seat ease of installation with lower anchors easily accessible under the plastic covers. No digging around for them between the seats and ruining my nails. Truly a game changer.

Works great for my three kids (1,5,8 year olds). Second row has worked for all variety of car seats we’ve used. Currently have an uppababy rove rear facing behind the passenger, clek foonf forward facing in the middle and peg perego high back booster behind the driver. Each seat has lower and tether anchors and is on its own track. As my kids get older the leg space will likely become an issue especially with backpacks. We rarely use the third row so usually have it down with great trunk space. It’s nice to have the option to use it, but I don’t have a good way to access it with three car seats in the second row. When we do use it, someone’s climbing through the trunk. I have loved the car for the 5 years I’ve had it. It looks great, drives great, rides great.

It’s a great looking car and does well for my family of 4 (2 kids). We have the second row with a booster and a rotating convertible car seat. We never use the 3rd row.. Cup holders are crap! However, its performance is awesome and I love being able to accelerate quickly.

Nice drive overall. 3rd row very small and wouldn’t be able to fit car seats. 2nd row is a bench so getting in and out of the 3rd row can be difficult. I’d recommend for families of 4. The technology is lacking but the drive is so solid and smooth, it makes up for what is lacking.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I know Kelly does not like this car but I really do! I have 2 kids who have been both rear facing and forward facing in it and I think its a great car for 2 kids. It has the third row if I ever was to need it but it has enough space for our daily needs. It is extremely comfortable to drive and handles wonderfully, I feel so safe in it, especially knowing its a Quattro so snow is no issue. The only downside is the center console is nonexistent. It is only a wireless charger and then a small space for pens/chapstick/hair ties next to it which is my biggest complaint. Us moms need somewhere to put all our stuff! But I am happy to deal with this minor inconveniences for a safe and reliable car. Haven't had any issues with it, we plan to keep it for a while. Another note, when buying used, it comes in at a very affordable price. I was shocked to see how affordable they are for a couple years old compared to other car brands of it's level. I really think it is overlooked when it definitely shouldn't be.

I’ve been driving a 2021 Audi Q7 for several years now, and overall, we’ve been really happy with it. We bought it new as our family car and haven’t had any major issues, which has honestly been one of the biggest positives. I drive about 20 miles a day and take a few longer road trips each year, typically under 1,000 miles per trip. There have been a couple of recalls over the years, but nothing major, mostly just software updates. We have two car seats in the second row - a Graco SlimFit LX and a Diono Cambria - on the outer seats, and there’s still enough room for an adult in the middle. We keep the third row mostly folded down and use the extra trunk space for sports gear and groceries. With the third row up, though, trunk space is pretty limited - less than two feet of usable space. We can make it work for everyday needs, but definitely not for a Costco haul. I’ve always loved the way it looks. To me, it’s “quiet luxury”. I also think it’s aging really well, especially since Audi hasn’t redesigned the Q7 since we bought ours. The technology is good enough for what we need. It has two center-console screens: the top screen handles vehicle settings, while the bottom screen controls things like climate and volume. We mostly use Apple CarPlay, and it’s been reliable and easy to connect. I also really like that I can set driver profiles, which let me save preferences (ie: driving mode, seat position, and steering wheel adjustments). Very convenient when my husband drives because I don’t have to readjust everything afterward. The biggest annoyance is probably the cupholders. We’ve made them work, but the center-console cupholders really only accommodate Stanleys with narrower bottoms. The second-row cupholder, when you fold down the back of the middle seat, is even more limited - it only fits small to-go cups or narrow Dr. Brown’s bottles. Even toddler water bottles don’t fit. Overall, we’ve been very happy with the Q7 and would recommend as a family car.

First I’ll start with I’m an Audi girlie. We previously owned a Q5 for 6 years and I loved that car except for car seats. The Q7 is more spacious and generally better for car seats. I’m expecting my 3rd child any day and I currently have it setup for 3 across, with a evenflow car seat / stroller, Diono and a graco slim booster (see picture). So far it’s worked, my oldest can buckle himself in the booster and while it’s tight everyone still fits. The trunk space is good and I personally like that it’s not the biggest mid size suv. I could easily street park it when we lived in Hoboken and I don’t get charged an oversized fee when I drive to nyc. I also love that it feels like driving a sporty car versus an suv. My husband and I both find the drive assist to be too much and very jerky especially if you try to change lanes without your signal (hello we’re Jersey drivers). Other features I like — automatic folding mirrors, unlock and lock car doors from the exterior passenger doors and the full panoramic sunroof. I’m super excited for the Q9!

My Q7 has been a great mid-size car for our family of 5. The backrow is definitely not a great third row to use on a daily basis. We utilize the bench for 3 across seats. Two Graco Slim fits and a doona. The back row is usually down and used for extended trunk space. Would definitely recommend as a great luxury vehicle that is comfortable and reliable! I have owned over 5 audis, and they all have been so terrific with reliability. I like that audis only need routine maintenance every 10,000 miles, therefore there are not many trips to the dealership. Trips to the dealership are always impossible to schedule with a busy family!
