2007 Audi Q7
November 24th, 2006
Audi’s first SUV, the Q7, debuted in June 2006 as a 2007 model and emphasizes sporty handling and performance. For those keeping track, Jaguar is now the only major luxury brand selling vehicles in the U.S. that doesn’t offer an SUV not that it should. The midsize Q7 is loosely based on Audi’s midsize wagon, the A6 Avant. It falls between the A6 and full-size A8 sedan in pricing.
The Q7 seats up to seven passengers in three rows. The second row can be adjusted forward for more cargo space or back for added legroom, and the second and third rows also have split seat backs that fold flat to increase cargo room. Audi says the seats can be arranged in 28 different ways.
