If you take Audi's already excellent midsize three-row SUV, the Q7, and inject it with a big dose of turbo V8, you'd end up with the 2022 Audi SQ7. That's right — now you can have sports car-beating acceleration and bring the family along for the ride with no compromises on comfort. This seven-passenger SUV can also tow up to 7,700 pounds, so none of your toys have to be left behind. The SQ7 is almost too good to be real.

Great Vehicle - Poor Software
3 out of 5 starsNorth Shore, 01/24/2024
2022 Audi SQ7 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 8A)
This is my fourth q7 vehicle and probably my last. I factory ordered this vehicle with the Sport, Prestige, Luxury, Black Optic and Towing packages.
Positives: Engine and drive train are fantastic. Fantastic throttle response, great feel of the road and behaves like a smaller vehicle than it is. The ride is much improved over the 2017 and 2019 models I owned previously.
Negatives: … Software! Auto on/off system is actually dangerous. The 4.0 liter deactivates within a fraction of a second of coming to a complete stop. If you stop and try to immediately pull into traffic the engine is not able to restart for several seconds which can create a dangerous situation. The MMI is shipped from the factory full of glitches. After 4 trips to the dealer for software updates we have eliminated the significant issues. Items like: heater/air conditioning just shut off and will not restart even if you power cycle the car. Randomly starts working after several hours of sitting. Navigation system just loses your location and shows you wandering through a field several miles North of your current position. Airplay just randomly restarts multiple times. Backup cameras and parking assistance fail to activate when starting the vehicle forcing you to shut off and restart the vehicle. However, Audi's incompetence shows in that the vehicle is unable to remember any radio station presets for more than a week or so. So virtually every trip requires me to reprogram favorites and hope it remembers for a few on/off cycles.
All in one!!!

2021 Audi SQ7 Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 8A)
After owning 2nd gen loaded Q7, couldn’t be possible to top it, but this has topped it in every single area. 3rd option when needed otherwise similar as SQ8, so more practical, hence in my mind truer SUV and half the price of Urus with same engine and probably more options.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Audi SQ7, so we've included reviews for other years of the SQ7 since its last redesign.
