Built on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg, this giant even has 'lanechanging radar' because Audi realised you won't be able to make out what's coming up beside you... In India, the Q7 is available with either a smooth, capable 3.0-litre turbo diesel (which, honestly, is the sensible option) and a 4.2-litre V8, which is only for those with a lifetime's supply of "Get Free Fuel!" coupons. Refinement from both is of course wonderful.
A seven-seater, the Q7 has more than enough space for passengers, and carries them around in top-level luxury. Audi is famous for its build and material quality, and the Q7 lives up to the name.You also get the MMI system to fiddle with, which gives you fingertip access (through a well thought-out graphic interface) to all major systems in the car, including the adjustable air-sprung suspension. There's also plenty of equipment, which should keep you happy. Handling is much like you'd expect: stable and controlled but never exactly easy with all that bulk. In the city it's likely to be a white-knuckle experience, even with proximity sensors and lane-swap radar. It's well controlled through the bends, though there is a certain degree of understeer that creeps in.The ride is good enoughfor a luxury saloon, let alone a bulky SUV, and amazingly, the ride/ handling balance is nearly as good as in a BMW X5
Overall it's a very good package if you can live with the size, and will stand out better than a more familiar Range Rover or M-Class.
