2025 Audi Q7 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. | |
2026 Audi Q3 Reviews SummaryThe entry-level model in Audi’s SUV lineup, the Q3 has been redesigned for the 2026 model year. While it rides on the same Volkswagen Group MQB platform as before, the new Q3 boasts more interior space, more power, and more tech features. That combination keeps competitors—including the Acura ADX, the BMW X1, the Lexus UX, the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, and the Volvo XC40—honest. Verdict: While not a thrill to drive or to look at, the redesigned Q3 delivers impressive utility, technology, and convenience features for its price. | |
