2023 Audi SQ7 front-quarter view

So you want something that’s fun to drive, but you also need three rows of seating for the whole family? With the 2023 Audi SQ7, you get the best of both worlds in one versatile and athletic three-row luxury SUV. The SQ7 provides a maximum of 69.6 cubic feet of cargo space. With the second-row seats in use, cargo space totals 35.7 cubic feet, and with all seats in position, there are 14.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats—all accessed via a standard hands-free power liftgate.

Trims for the SQ7 are Premium Plus and Prestige. Standard features on the Premium Plus include leather upholstery, heated front seats, four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium stereo system. The SQ7 comes standard with Audi Virtual Cockpit (Audi’s name for its fully digital instrument panel) and a dual-screen center console. The lower screen operates the climate control, settings, and other various systems. The upper screen is home to the infotainment system, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

An available Executive Package adds features such as power rear window sun shades, heated second-row seats, and heated and ventilated front-row seats. For 2023, this package now includes dual-pane glass.

Moving up to the Prestige trim adds all the features from the Executive package, as well as a head-up display and power soft-closing doors. For 2023, the Prestige trim also gains remote park assist.

You can also get 22-inch wheels as a standalone option on the SQ7. There are two wheel designs, and both come wrapped in summer performance tires.

Behind the massive Audi grille, there’s a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that puts out 500 horsepower and 569 pound-feet of torque. It routes power through an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic with manual mode to Quattro all-wheel drive. The SQ7 returns EPA-estimated fuel economy of 15 mpg city, 21 highway, and 17 combined. The SQ7 requires premium fuel. When properly equipped, the SQ7 can tow up to 7,700 pounds. When not towing, the SQ7 can hit 60 mph from a standstill in 4.3 seconds on the way to a top speed of 155 mph.

The SQ7 features all-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, ensuring it’s as dynamic through a corner as it is in a straight line.

Standard driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, rain-sending windshield wipers, and blind-spot monitoring.

Base MSRP for the 2023 Audi SQ7 is $88,500 for the Premium Plus trim. The Prestige trim starts at $93,800. The Audi SQ7 is backed by a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty.

Best in class. Very fun to drive. And room for the kids. The SQ7 is basically a Lambo with cargo room. Excellent acceleration, exquisite interior, and a butter smooth ride and handling. Sep 02, 2023
