Opting for a crossover utility vehicle with a third row of seats usually means dialing back the driving enjoyment. That isn’t the case with the new 2017 Audi Q7, however, thanks to significant weight savings over its predecessor and a heaping portion of advanced technology. We’ve already explored the second-gen Q7’s plethora of features and had our first experience behind the steering wheel. But now we’ve finally strapped our test gear to one and can confirm that Audi’s formula works. Big time.
The 2017 Q7 comes nicely equipped to start at $55,750 and is about six grand more than the previous 2015 version (there was no 2016 model). The top-level Prestige trim ($9500) adds most of the cool features, including the Virtual Cockpit, the larger central display, a handwriting recognition touchpad for the MMI system, the LED headlights, heated and ventilated front seats, a premium Bose audio system, head-up display, four-zone climate control, and much more.
Along with the chassis and suspension upgrades, our test car also included the $2400 Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise with full stop-and-go capability, lane-departure assist, auto high-beams, and traffic-sign recognition) and a couple of other options for a sizable total of $72,875. But prices can climb much higher with additional extras, such as massaging front seats, night vision, a Bang & Olufsen stereo with 23 speakers, and rear-seat entertainment.
