Well-built, posh image, well-equipped, good V6 diesel engine, handles well for such a large vehicle, comes in five-, six- or seven-seat form
Not a hardcore off-roader, very complex, huge and heavy
Smart-looking and relatively easy to drive, it's a credible alternative to the X5 and Range Rover Sport crew.
The Q7s driven so far feel absolutely solid, with a very high standard of fit and finish - better than that of early Porsche Cayennes. Both the Cayenne and Touareg have suffered little in the way of problems so far, bar a necessary recall for parking brake issues and minor software faults in their complex electronics; mainstream large Audis also have a good reliability record. Nothing to worry about here, though like the Cayenne, the powerful Q7 could get through tyres very quickly.
