Price Range: £38,560 to £94,255

Epic performance, imposing looks, decent fuel range.

Drawbacks

Frightening cost, mammoth dimensions, likes a drink.

Verdict

New V12 diesel is mind-bendingly quick, but the rest of the car can't keep up.

Audi Q7 Review

Running Costs2 out of 5

Achieving the 25mpg average is possible without having to resort to feather-footed antics, Audi reckons. We came nowhere close, but then we tested the Audi Q7 on autobahns and felt it necessary to apply heavy acceleration. In any case, the huge 22 gallon tank means the V12 should have a fuel range of up to 500 miles.

Carbon dioxide emissions of 299g/km might eclipse other powerful luxury 4x4s, but the Q7 still falls into the maximum 35% BIK company car tax bracket and the most expensive road tax band G.
