2022 Audi Q7 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The Audi Q7, Audi's 7-passenger midsize luxury crossover, gets refinements and additional standard equipment for 2022.

The Audi Q7 is Audi’s seven-passenger midsize luxury crossover entry. The model is in its second generation, a vehicle known internally as Typ 4M, and made its debut back in 2015.

For the 2022 model year, the Q7 has refinements, most notably to several safety features. Rear side airbags become standard, along with heated, power-folding exterior mirrors with memory and the contents formerly bundled in the Ambient Interior Lighting package. The Q7 also gets a direct tire-pressure monitoring system as standard equipment on the Q7 45 TFSI and 55 TFSI models. The Premium Plus package offered on those two models now includes standard driver-assistance features such as Audi’s Active Lane Assist with emergency assist and adaptive cruise control with traffic-jam assist. The Black Optic appearance package is newly available on the 2022 Q7 45 TFSI trim.

The Audi SQ7, covered as a separate model, also receives some package updates for the 2022 model year. It’s now equipped with standard adaptive cruise control and Audi Active Lane Assist, and buyers can now add red brake calipers as a standalone option. (Red brake calipers remain a component of the S Sport package as well.)

The 2022 Audi Q7 is available in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels, with two different powertrain options.

The Q7s with the “45 TSFI” designation are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged, dual-overhead cam inline four-cylinder engine delivering 248 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque.

The 2022 Audi SQ7, meanwhile, features a 4.0-liter twin turbocharged V8 which generates 500 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque.

Regardless of trim or engine, the 2022 Q7 features and eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, along with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive (AWD).
