Audi Q7
The crown jewel of SUVs
Overview
Audi Q7 in Brief
The Audi Q7 is a large premium SUV that combines a spacious cabin, a high driving position, and quattro all-wheel drive. It ranks among the largest SUV models in Audi's lineup. The first generation launched in 2005, and the current second generation has been on sale since 2015.
The used Q7 market is dominated by 3.0 V6 TDI diesels and plug-in hybrids. The sporty SQ7 is also available. Not all vehicles come with seven seats, so always check the number of seats listed in the ad.

Who Is the Audi Q7 For?
The Audi Q7 is a great fit for drivers who need plenty of space but don't want to compromise on ride comfort, performance, or premium build quality. It's a natural choice for families, high-mileage drivers, those who need towing capability, or anyone looking for a large and stable premium SUV suited to Finland's varied conditions. It's especially worth considering if:
- you need room for five or seven passengers
- you do a lot of highway driving and value a quiet, composed ride
- you need all-wheel drive for winter or towing capacity for a trailer or camper
- you're looking for a used premium vehicle at a significantly lower price than new
- you want the option to choose between diesel and plug-in hybrid
As a used vehicle, the Audi Q7 can offer excellent value for money — buying used means getting a large premium-class car at a price that's often well below new. In Saka's inventory, you can compare individual Q7 units by fuel type, mileage, features, model year, and number of seats.
Used Audi Q7 Pricing
The price of a used Q7 is most influenced by model year, mileage, fuel type, trim level, and the availability of seven seats. High-mileage diesels sit at the lower end of the price range, while newer plug-in hybrids and low-mileage examples command significantly higher prices. Air suspension, S line trim, and Matrix LED headlights also push the price up.
Saka's Audi Q7 inventory had a total of 11 vehicles at the time of review in October 2026, with prices ranging from €18,500 to €77,900. Some examples:
Model Year | Model | Mileage | Fuel Type | Price |
2017 | Q7 3.0 V6 TDI e-tron quattro | 242,000 km | Diesel, plug-in hybrid | €18,500 |
2016 | Q7 3.0 V6 TDI 200 kW quattro | 266,000 km | Diesel | €23,900 |
2021 | Q7 55 TFSI e quattro | 154,000 km | Gasoline, plug-in hybrid | €33,800 |
2025 | Q7 60 TFSI e quattro | 55,000 km | Gasoline, plug-in hybrid | €77,900 |
These are individual listing examples, not market-wide pricing. Inventory and prices change constantly, so check the current listings on this page for up-to-date information.
Model Years and Updates
- First generation (2005–2015): longer and heavier than its successor. Length was approximately 5.09 meters with a wheelbase of 3,002 millimeters. It offered up to seven seats and V6 and V8 engines, including the 3.0 TDI and 4.2 TDI.
- Second generation (from 2015): built on the new, lighter Volkswagen Group MLB Evo platform, featuring an 8-speed tiptronic automatic transmission and a five-star Euro NCAP rating. In 2016, the lineup gained the plug-in diesel hybrid Q7 e-tron and the sporty SQ7 TDI.
- 2019 update: new front grille and styling refresh. V6 engines received a standard 48-volt mild hybrid system. Plug-in hybrids were rebranded as TFSI e, with the 55 TFSI e and the more powerful 60 TFSI e joining the lineup.
- 2024 update: revised grille and lighting, including OLED taillights. The plug-in hybrid battery grew to 22 kilowatt-hours (net capacity), with an electric range of up to approximately 85 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. Four-wheel steering became available as an option.

Technical Specifications
The second-generation Audi Q7, introduced in 2015, is built on the Volkswagen Group's MLB Evo platform. Its engine lineup includes V6 diesel and gasoline engines as well as plug-in hybrids. When comparing used Q7s, it's worth distinguishing between the original versions and the 2019 and 2024 updates, as similar model designations can conceal different engine technology, power output, or battery capacity. The following covers the technical details of the second generation.
Diesel Engines (TDI)
The second-generation Q7 3.0 V6 TDI diesel engines produce 218, 231, 272, or 286 horsepower depending on the version. The most powerful versions deliver up to 600 newton-meters of torque. In listings, power is also expressed in kilowatts: for example, 160 kW equals approximately 218 horsepower and 200 kW approximately 272 horsepower.
The 45 TDI and 50 TDI versions introduced with the 2019 facelift feature a 48-volt mild hybrid system. However, these model designations were already in use before the facelift, so the name alone does not confirm the presence of mild hybrid technology. Diesel is particularly well suited for long highway drives and towing. Learn more about Saka's diesel cars.
Gasoline Engines (TFSI)
There are two gasoline options. The early second-generation 3.0 TFSI is a supercharged V6 gasoline engine producing 333 horsepower. The 55 TFSI introduced with the 2019 facelift uses a turbocharged 3.0 V6 engine with 340 horsepower. It also features a 48-volt mild hybrid system.
Saka's inventory at the time of review consisted primarily of diesel and plug-in hybrid models. Learn more about Saka's gasoline cars.
Plug-In Hybrids
The European Q7 lineup has included both diesel and gasoline plug-in hybrids. The earlier Q7 e-tron combines a diesel engine with an electric motor, while the later TFSI e versions use a gasoline engine. Both seat five passengers. In addition to the model designation, it's worth checking the production date and technical specifications, as the power output and battery capacity of the TFSI e versions in particular have changed across updates.
Diesel Hybrid (e-tron)
The Q7 e-tron, on sale since 2016, pairs a 3.0 V6 TDI with an electric motor. The combined system output is 373 horsepower and 700 newton-meters of torque. The battery capacity is 17.3 kilowatt-hours, and the electric-only range when new was up to 56 kilometers (NEDC measurement). In practice, the range is shorter, especially in winter. The battery is located under the cargo floor, which is why the e-tron seats only five. The standard towing capacity is 2,800 kilograms, or 3,500 kilograms when equipped with air suspension.
Gasoline Hybrid (TFSI e)
Since 2019, plug-in hybrids have been gasoline-powered TFSI e models. The 55 TFSI e combines a 3.0 V6 gasoline engine with an electric motor, with a combined system output of 381 horsepower. The electric range in the first models was approximately 40 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. The more powerful 60 TFSI e produced approximately 460 horsepower. The 2024 update brought a larger battery and an electric range of up to approximately 85 kilometers.
A plug-in hybrid is a sensible choice if you have a charging point at home or at work and your daily driving fits within the electric range.
SQ7, Performance Version
The SQ7 is the high-performance flagship of the Q7 lineup. The SQ7 TDI, introduced in 2016, featured a 4.0 V8 diesel engine producing 435 horsepower and 900 newton-meters of torque. The engine is assisted by an electrically driven compressor powered by a 48-volt electrical system. Since 2020, the SQ7 has been equipped with a 4.0 V8 TFSI gasoline engine producing 507 horsepower and 770 newton-meters of torque. The 0–60 mph acceleration in the gasoline version is 4.1 seconds.
The SQ7 is distinguished from the standard Q7 by its sportier appearance, larger wheels, and S-specific equipment. See Saka's Audi SQ7 used cars.
All-Wheel Drive and Transmission
The Q7 is virtually always equipped with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system, which distributes power between the axles based on driving conditions. It provides excellent traction in winter conditions and on slippery gravel roads.
The transmission is an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic, based on a torque converter. The Q7 is therefore not equipped with a DSG dual-clutch automatic. During a test drive, it's worth checking that gear changes are smooth both under light throttle and during brisk acceleration.
Dimensions, Space, and Towing Capacity
The dimensions below apply to the second-generation Q7. Exact figures vary slightly depending on the version and model year. The cargo volume figures in the table refer to combustion engine versions.
Feature | Audi Q7 (Second Generation) |
Length | approximately 5,050 mm (slightly longer after the update) |
Width without mirrors | approximately 1,970 mm |
Height | approximately 1,740 mm |
Wheelbase | 3,000 mm |
Seating capacity | 5 or 7 (e-tron always 5) |
Cargo volume, 7-seat with third row up | approximately 300 L |
Cargo volume, 5-seat | approximately 865–890 L depending on model year |
Cargo volume, rear seats folded | approximately 2,000 L |
Braked towing capacity | up to 3,500 kg depending on version |
With the third row in place, cargo space is limited, so the seven-seat configuration is best suited for situations where the extra seats are only needed occasionally. In plug-in hybrids, the battery reduces cargo space. The permitted towing capacity and trailer hitch approval should always be verified from the vehicle's registration documents.
Driving Experience
The model's strengths shine on long trips: the elevated seating position, spacious cabin, and composed ride make it a comfortable touring vehicle. The second generation, introduced in 2015, is lighter than its predecessor, which helps with the manageability of such a large vehicle. The V6 engine and automatic transmission are well suited to effortless highway driving, even with passengers and luggage on board.
In the city, a length of over five meters and a wide body demand plenty of space. A rearview camera and a 360-degree surround camera system are therefore useful features. During a test drive, it's worth trying out parking and evaluating tire noise at highway speeds as well.
Air Suspension and Adjustable Ride Height
The adaptive air suspension adjusts damping and ride height based on driving conditions. At highway speeds, the car can lower itself, and at low speeds, ground clearance can be raised, for example on a rough dirt road to a cabin. Load leveling helps maintain the vehicle's stance with passengers and cargo on board. The availability of air suspension depends on the version and trim level.
Four-wheel steering makes the large Q7 easier to handle: at low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, reducing the turning circle. At higher speeds, they turn in the same direction, improving stability. It has been available on second-generation combustion engine versions from the start, but was only added to the TFSI e hybrids with the 2024 update.
Safety and Driver Assistance Systems
The second-generation Q7 received a five-star rating in Euro NCAP's 2015 safety tests. The result reflects the testing standards of that era. The Audi pre sense city system warns of collision risk and can apply the brakes automatically in urban driving.
Depending on the equipment level, the Q7 may feature adaptive cruise control, lane assist, blind spot warning, and a rear cross-traffic alert system. An exit warning system helps detect an approaching car or cyclist before opening the door. These driver assistance features have been available since the early years of the second generation, so the model year alone does not confirm their presence.
Cabin and Top-Level Features
In early second-generation Q7 models, the multimedia system is operated via a center console controller, with the display rising from the dashboard. The 2019 facelift introduced two center console touchscreens: the upper one serves the multimedia system and the lower one controls functions such as climate settings. This is a significant practical difference between the older and updated versions.
Beyond the Business and S line trim names, it's worth comparing the equipment list of each individual car. S line emphasizes a sportier appearance and equipment, but it does not refer to the V8-powered SQ7 model. Comfort is also influenced by seat adjustability, suspension, and tire size.
Particularly useful or desirable features on the Q7 include:
- Air suspension: adjustable ground clearance and load leveling, with the option to select a more comfortable or firmer suspension setting.
- Four-wheel steering: makes turning and parking in tight spaces easier.
- Fuel-operated auxiliary heater or hybrid pre-conditioning: makes cold winter mornings easier. Check what the system in a given car can heat and how it is controlled.
- Matrix LED headlights: adaptive high beams make driving on dark roads easier.
- Adaptive cruise control: adjusts speed to match the traffic ahead.
- Rearview camera or 360-degree camera system: helps gauge the car's corners and surroundings.
- Power-adjustable front seats with memory: makes it easy to return to the correct driving position when multiple drivers share the car.
- Audi virtual cockpit and head-up display: a digital instrument cluster and windshield-projected display bring driving and navigation information into the driver's line of sight.
- BOSE or Bang & Olufsen audio system: an appealing addition for those who listen to a lot of music in the car.
- Trailer hitch and seven seats: essential features when the car is purchased for towing or transporting a large family.
The 2024 update introduced new lighting technologies, including digital OLED taillights and selectable light signatures. These are not included on every updated Q7.
Buyer's Guide
Maintenance and Running Costs
Owning a Q7 requires a larger budget than a smaller family car. Large tires, brakes on a heavy vehicle, fuel, and insurance make up a significant portion of the costs. Potential repairs to the air suspension and other optional equipment can add to expenses.
Diesel suits long highway driving, while the running costs of a plug-in hybrid depend heavily on charging habits. When driven solely on the combustion engine, a plug-in hybrid also carries the added weight of the battery. When comparing the Q7 against the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90, make sure to compare vehicles of similar age and equipment level. Before purchasing, ask for details on upcoming services and an estimate of their costs.
What Should You Check on a Used Audi Q7?
On the Q7, the level of equipment and powertrain affect what to focus on during an inspection. In addition to the service history, make sure to test the specific features that made you interested in the car in the first place.
- Services and repairs: check completed scheduled maintenance, any major repairs, and upcoming service work. Also verify whether any recall repairs applicable to the vehicle have been carried out.
- Air suspension: test the height adjustment and different driving modes. The car should sit level, and there should be no suspension fault warnings on the dashboard. If the car sits unevenly, ask for an explanation.
- Transmission and drivability: test acceleration from a standstill, reversing, and gear changes both when cold and when warmed up. Noticeable jerking or vibration is a reason for further investigation.
- Tires, brakes, and chassis: check for even tire wear and proper brake function. Ask for the findings of any condition inspection and information on wear items that will need replacing soon.
- Plug-in hybrid battery and charging: request any available battery test report, test the charging function, and inspect the charging cables. The driving range estimate shown on the dashboard alone is not a battery health test.
- Heating and electrical equipment: test the auxiliary heater or pre-conditioning, air conditioning, cameras, seat adjustments, and the multimedia system.
- Panoramic roof: test opening and closing, and check the upholstery and footwells for signs of moisture.
- Family and towing use: test the third-row seating, check the compatibility of child seats, and verify that the trailer hitch functions properly. Confirm the seating capacity and required towing capacity from the vehicle's specifications.
Diesel, Gasoline, or Plug-In Hybrid?
Diesel is a natural choice if you frequently drive long distances or regularly tow a heavy trailer. Gasoline is a good option when annual mileage is lower and charging is not available. That said, fuel costs for a large vehicle are worth estimating based on your own driving habits. A plug-in hybrid is typically the best choice when charging is possible at home or at work and a slightly higher purchase price is not a barrier. The older e-tron uses a diesel engine, while the TFSI e uses a gasoline engine. Both second-generation plug-in hybrids are five-seaters.
Five or Seven Seats?
The seven-seat Q7 is well suited for situations where extra seats are needed, for example for children's friends or a large family. The third row reduces cargo space when in use, so test whether passengers and luggage can fit together. It is also worth testing access to the rearmost seats.
The five-seat combustion engine version offers a large cargo area without a third row. The plug-in hybrid is also a five-seater, but its cargo space is smaller due to the battery. If seven seats are an absolute requirement, the second-generation Q7 e-tron and TFSI e are not suitable options.
Older or Updated Q7?
An early second-generation model can be a good choice if you prefer physical controls in the multimedia system and find the right example with your desired equipment. The 2019 facelift shifted the cabin toward a touchscreen-focused layout and introduced 48-volt mild hybrid technology on standard V6 versions.
For TFSI e buyers, the larger battery introduced in the 2024 update is a significant difference if the goal is to drive on electricity as much as possible. When comparing, it is worth distinguishing between the vehicle's first registration year and its actual update version. Cars registered in the same year may feature different technology.
Competitors and Comparison
Comparison Between Audi Models
The Audi Q7 ranks among the largest models in the brand's SUV lineup — it is essentially Audi's second-largest SUV, right behind the Q8. The Q7 is the choice when you want maximum space for seven passengers without compromising Audi's signature driving dynamics or luxury features.
Smaller Audi Models
- Audi Q3: a compact urban SUV, ideal for smaller families and easier parking
- Audi Q5: a mid-size SUV that strikes an excellent balance between space and agility
- Audi Q6: a new addition positioned between the Q5 and Q7, built on a modern electric platform

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Audi Q7 a good used car?
The Q7 is a great option if you need the space of a large SUV, all-wheel drive, and a comfortable car for long trips. When choosing a used model, the key factors are service history, the condition of the features, and upcoming maintenance costs. For a plug-in hybrid, the condition of the drive battery and the functionality of charging are also part of the comparison.
Does every model have air suspension?
No. The availability of air suspension depends on the model year, version, and trim level. Steel-sprung Q7 models also exist, and having seven seats alone does not guarantee air suspension.
How large is the cargo space?
The Audi Q7's cargo space varies depending on the seating configuration. With the third row fully raised, there is approximately 295 liters of cargo space; with the second row folded down, approximately 770 liters; and with all rear seats folded, over 1,900 liters. In practice, the Q7 is one of the most spacious cars in its segment.
Is it suitable as a family car?
Yes, the Audi Q7 is an excellent family car. With seven seats, it also works well for larger families, and its safety features are comprehensive — newer models have received a five-star Euro NCAP rating. There is also plenty of rear seat space for taller passengers.
What is the electric range of the Audi Q7 PHEV?
The official electric range of the Audi Q7 55 TFSI e hybrid model is approximately 40–54 miles according to WLTP measurements. In practice, the range may be slightly shorter in winter. The hybrid model is especially well-suited for those who have charging available at home or at work and whose daily driving falls within the electric range.
Is the Q7 always all-wheel drive?
In practice, yes. Nearly all Q7 models sold come standard with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is especially important in winter driving conditions, and it is one of the Q7's most significant practical advantages in everyday use.
Is the Audi Q7 suitable for city driving?
The Q7 is a large car, and its length of over five meters is worth keeping in mind, especially when parking. In practice, however, many Q7 owners drive it in the city without any issues — parking is made easier by a rearview camera, parking sensors, and, on many models, 360-degree camera monitoring. With the hybrid model, city driving is also cost-effective on electric power.
How much does Audi Q7 maintenance cost?
The Audi Q7 is a premium-class car, and its maintenance costs are correspondingly higher than those of a regular family car. An annual service typically costs between $300–$600, and major services or individual component repairs can be significantly more expensive. Costs can be managed by choosing a well-maintained vehicle and taking advantage of Saka's SakaVarma extended coverage.
Is the Q7 available with seven seats?
The Q7 is available in both five- and seven-seat versions. The second-generation plug-in hybrids — the diesel-powered e-tron and the gasoline-powered TFSI e models — are five-seaters. Be sure to verify the seating capacity in the vehicle listing and registration documents.
Does the Audi Q7 have a DSG transmission?
No. The second-generation Q7 uses an eight-speed torque converter tiptronic automatic transmission. Its plug-in hybrids also feature an eight-speed tiptronic. The number of gears in the older first-generation transmission depends on the version.
