Reviews SummaryThe mid-size SUV has room for seven (barely) and comes in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims. There are two different engine choices, but all Q7s, regardless of trim, are all-wheel-drive (AWD) with excellent handling characteristics. However, this second-generation Q7 has been around since 2017, and it shows in some key areas. Verdict: While the 2025 Audi Q7 has a lot going for it in terms of driving dynamics and engine prowess, it falls behind the competition when it comes to safety tech. Further, the third row is cramped for anyone but the smallest of humans, and the price can skyrocket as you move up the trim line. | |
Reviews SummaryThe two-row Audi Q8 delivers a lot of what affluent buyers are looking for. Its two higher-grade performance variants, the Audi SQ8 and Audi RS Q8 give buyers the option of adding more power and improved drive dynamics for the otherwise relatively traditional luxury SUV. It faces stiff competition in its segment but is positioned to be a worthy challenger. | |
