My vehicle is a 2018 Audi Q7 Prestige, the top-of-the-line trim for that model year. It’s equipped with the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 (3.0T) producing 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, paired with the smooth 8-speed Tiptronic automatic and Quattro all-wheel drive. The combination delivers strong, effortless acceleration and excellent all-weather capability. Despite being a large three-row SUV, it’s surprisingly agile, refined, and quiet on the road.
Exterior & Design
My Q7 has the classic Audi design language from this generation—clean, modern lines, the large single-frame grille, and full LED lighting. The Prestige trim includes premium exterior enhancements, and mine comes with:
LED headlights and LED taillights
20-inch/21-inch alloy wheels (depending on your actual spec—adjust accordingly)
Power-folding mirrors
Hands-free power tailgate
Panoramic sunroof
It has a confident, upscale presence without being over-styled.
Interior & Comfort
The interior is one of the highlights of my Q7. Audi’s craftsmanship really shows in the materials, fitment, and layout:
Full leather seating
Heated front seats (with ventilation if equipped)
Heated second-row seats (if equipped)
Three-zone or four-zone climate control
Ambient interior lighting
Power telescoping steering wheel
Soft-close doors (Prestige feature)
The Q7 seats seven passengers in a 2–3–2 arrangement. The first and second rows are extremely comfortable, and the third row is best suited for kids or shorter trips. With the third row folded, the cargo space becomes very practical.
Technology (Prestige Trim Equipment)
The Prestige package adds a long list of advanced technology and convenience features. My Q7 includes:
Audi Virtual Cockpit (fully digital instrument cluster)
MMI Navigation Plus with touchpad
Head-Up Display
Surround-View / Top-View Camera System
Bang & Olufsen or Bose Premium Sound System (whichever matches your car—choose one)
Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist
Audi Pre Sense Suite (front, rear, side collision mitigation)
Lane Keeping System
Blind Spot Monitoring (“Side Assist”)
Parking Assist
Power tilt steering column
Power-folding third-row seats (if equipped)
Everything is integrated cleanly and operates with the precision you expect from Audi.
Performance & Utility
Even though the Q7 is a luxury family SUV, it performs far better than you’d expect from something its size:
0–60 mph in about 5.5 seconds
Quattro AWD for year-round capability
Drive Select modes (Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, Individual)
Up to 7,700-lb towing capacity (with the towing package)
The combination of the supercharged V6 and Quattro gives it confidence on highways, mountain roads, and bad weather days.
Overall Ownership Experience
My 2018 Q7 Prestige balances luxury, performance, technology, and practicality in a way that very few SUVs can. It’s quiet, smooth, powerful, and comfortable for daily driving or long trips. The technology package and safety features make it feel modern even several years after its release, and the interior quality still holds up as one of the best in the segment.
It has been an excellent vehicle—premium, reliable, and versatile—offering the comfort of a luxury SUV with the driving dynamics of something much smaller.
