What's New for the 2018 Audi Q7?

The 2018 Audi Q7 is at the top tier among midsize luxury crossovers. If you're looking for a sleek, sophisticated vehicle with space for seven, the latest safety features, and high-end amenities, consider the vehicle named as 2018's best new car by Good Housekeeping and as one of the best three-row luxury SUVs for families by U.S. News and World Report. The Q7 has been treated to a new base engine for 2018. The turbo-four is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and gets an impressive 252 horses. You can also upgrade to a V6 with the same transmission and a power boost to 316 horses. Both get the above-average fuel economy of 19 city/25 highway miles per gallon. Reviewers praise the vehicle's sedan-like handling despite its formidable size. The Q7 comes standard with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system from Audi, which has four selectable driving modes (comfort, dynamic, auto, and off-road).

The other new feature for 2018 is the additional standard proximity key across the Q7 lineup. Other standard features include leather upholstery, three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, push-button start, a panoramic sunroof, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Every 2018 Q7 is equipped with safety systems that include front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic braking, and a rearview camera. Higher trims come with an even more extensive array of driver assistance features. This crossover has earned exceptional crash test scores, including a five-star overall rating from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration and Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
