A brand's flagship model is not good, but if there is the slightest flaw, it will be magnified by consumers a hundred times. As the façade of the Audi SUV family, the Audi (imported) Audi Q7 in front of you not only cannot have any weaknesses, but also must speak with strength to make everyone feel awe.
The large displacement + true "quattro" Audi Q7 series provides 45 TFSI, 55 TFSI two power specifications, are equipped with Audi's proud pure mechanical structure of the full-time four-wheel drive system, front and rear axle power distribution standard ratio of 40:60, which is audi Q5L and other models do not have treatment.
In terms of power, the 55 TFSI model is equipped with a 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine with a 48V light hybrid system, the maximum power is 340 horsepower, the maximum torque is 500 Nm, and it is matched by an 8-speed manual transmission, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 5.9 seconds.
In Comfort mode, the power delivery is unusually low-key, making it difficult to understand its strength. The gearbox always raises gear as high as possible, the shift is gentle and smooth, and before you know it, you are in 8th gear. Absolute power reserve is of course strong, any time you dare to "stuff" the throttle to the end, 340 horsepower in an instant to cash, four drive wheels firmly grasp the ground, forward rapid rush.

In dynamic mode, the overall adjustment is still not radical, which may be deliberately done by engineers. The power response has improved, but it is not as agile as expected, the gearbox has symbolically reduced 1-2 gears, and the engine speed has increased during cruising, but in the downshift reaction, the performance is still not hurried, less of a feeling of knife falling. After all, this is a 7-seat SUV, more or less always take care of the feelings of some passengers.
Air suspension will come standard on the 55 TFSI model, and in different driving modes, the system will automatically adjust the body height as well as the softness and hardness of the suspension for a better driving experience. In Comfort mode, the suspension height is moderate, and the bumps on the road surface are neatly isolated, with a strong sense of heaviness and premium. In dynamic mode, the lateral support during cornering is significantly stronger, while retaining some road feedback information.
The steering force does not belong to the category of "light fluttering", the damping sense increases linearly with the steering angle, and the middle part retains a certain dormant position, which is also in line with the setting of a large SUV. The performance of sound insulation is very good, the carriage and the outside world have a sense of isolation, for wind noise, tire noise isolation is more thorough, can let you away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also can become a weapon for long-distance travel.
After a mid-term remodeling, the new Audi Q7 seems to have regained the aura of the previous generation, and there is no need to worry about someone mistakeing it for the Audi Q5L. The new polygonal grille is more domineering visually, and after the optional black light package, the entire central mesh will be fully blackened, showing a stronger sports atmosphere.
As the flagship series of products under the "Lamp Factory", matrix headlamps are standard for all series. On top-of-the-line models, the high beam cluster will use a more advanced laser light source. In terms of configuration, adaptive far and near light, steering headlights, headlights rain and fog mode, headlight cleaning device and other functions are comprehensive enough.
The 21-inch Audi Sport rim is blade-shaped and large enough. In terms of tires, it is matched by the Pirelli P ZERO series of tires, with a specification of 285/40 R21.
Length, width and height: 5067/1970/1712mm wheelbase: 2999mm
The rear contour is full and powerful, imposing and mature enough to be stable enough to meet its own positioning. Slender chrome trim strips connect the left and right taillights for added layering. The internal structure of the taillights echoes with the headlights group, and the shape is more exquisite. The exhaust ports on the rear surround are actually only decorative parts, and for a large-displacement model, it is a pity to use a hidden exhaust layout.
Competent 7-seat layout interior cockpits have kept pace with the times and have been almost completely replaced. The "three-screen" family design language is widely used in Audi's high-end models, and a good balance has been achieved between the sense of technology and practicality. In the creation of luxurious atmosphere, it is naturally one of the best performances in the same class.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel has excellent visual effects, and compared to the other two Ashkenazi players, the dashboard's display theme is more diverse, which is its advantage.
Both screens have vibration feedback, the upper screen is 10.1 inches, mainly used to control / adjust the vehicle multimedia system, support navigation, voice recognition, Car Networking, wireless CarPlay and other functions; the lower screen is 8.6 inches, mainly responsible for controlling air conditioning, seat heating, automatic start and stop and other vehicle functions.
The steering wheel shape has not yet been updated, the spokes are wrapped in leather material, the grip is slightly stiff, but the position of 3 and 9 o'clock is very suitable for the palm of the hand. On the new model, two configurations are available, namely steering wheel electric adjustment and steering wheel heating, and the price is 5900 yuan and 3200 yuan respectively.
On the top model, the seat is wrapped in Nappa leather fabric, and the internal padding is soft and hard, making the ride more comfortable. In terms of configuration, the front seats support 16-way electric adjustment (including lumbar support adjustment) and are equipped with leg rests (electric adjustment). In terms of comfort, the front seat heating/ventilation/massage is all available and impeccable.
The second row is three independent seats, supporting front and rear adjustment and backrest angle adjustment, space flexibility is better, but when the seat is reclined, it is necessary to repeat the action of reclining the seat three times, which I personally think is a little troublesome. In terms of comfort configuration, the price of heating the optional second row of seats is 5900 yuan.
The third row of seats supports electric retraction/unfolding, which is much more convenient to operate than the second row of seats. The third row of seating space is not rich or cramped, and can meet the needs of short- and medium-distance rides. Of course, the premise is that the legroom of the passengers in the second row must be sacrificed to some extent.
Even in the 7-seat state, the trunk still has a certain depth, and the loading space is relatively considerable. Thanks to the air suspension, the height of the platform of the trunk can be lowered by the buttons on the left side of the trunk when handling large items, making it easier and less effort-saving.
Write at the end:
For this Audi Q7, excess power reserve is the confidence in the heart, not the capital to show off. On the basis of focusing on comfort, it meets your needs for luxury, power, space, and driving as much as possible. A near-all-round luxury brand medium and large SUV, it deserves it. (The official guidance price of the 2022 Audi Q7 is 701,800-86.98 million yuan)
