Climbing inside you can’t help but be impressed by your elevated seating position and wraparound interior which showcases stylish accents and attention to detail everywhere. It’s actually not that dissimilar from the regular car, but that is more of a reflection of the excellent base it is starting from. Indeed, the entry level Q7 SE has just won the 2017 WHATCAR? Best Luxury SUV award, which can’t be achieved with a spartan interior. In the SQ7, Audi’s excellent Virtual Cockpit is now standard and comes with an embedded SIM card to deliver internet based services, there’s also sportier leather seats and bespoke ‘S’ body styling and touches complete the look.
I loved the seats for seven people arranged over three rows, fabulous for growing families. It is good to note that child seats can be fitted to six of the seven and the rear three fold down to create valuable luggage space. My daughter and her school friends loved the back row while I could easily fold them away on my own once I had dropped them off. The 48V electrical subsystem does mean that the boot floor isn’t quite as deep as it is in a regular Q7, equating to a 60 litre loss of capacity, which isn’t a prohibitive loss, but worth thinking about if load space is regularly going to be at a premium.
Even though the SQ7 is a very large car, I found the drive to be light and a dream to park, assisted by rear view cameras. The virtual cockpit helped me feel in control at all times by allowing me to display the navigation system, speed information (which is really useful given how quick this thing is as speed limits are approached rapidly) and media on a 12.3” razor-sharp and high-contrast customizable display.

A car like this is never going to win Greenpeace awards, but compared to similar cars, 190g CO2/km is not bad at all and expect a real world range of 480 miles. However, there are few similar SUVs you could buy right now that will hold their value as well as an SQ7, driven by limited production runs and the exclusivity of the four rings.
With prices starting from just under £71,000 (which is significantly less than its main rivals) and blending a combination of incredible, usable power when you need it while also being surprisingly refined and quiet when you don’t, the SQ7 is assuredly among the very best large SUVs on sale today
The Audi SQ7 is available to test drive now at Listers Audi Birmingham, Coventry, Stratford -upon-Avon and Worcester.
