The 2008 Audi Q7 full-size luxury SUV crossover enters its sophomore year unchanged from its 2007 debut. Building a 7-passenger SUV is newly charted territory for Audi. What is not new territory is Audi's foray into all wheel drive. The race-proven Quattro all wheel drive system that comes standard is capable both on road and off-road.
The Q7 is unmistakably Audi with the square grille and straight contour line running the length of the body.
The interior continues Audi's tradition of luxury and elegance with top quality materials and appointments as expected of this German automaker.
The Q7 has a choice of 2 power plants; a 280 horsepower 3.6 liter V6, and a 350 horsepower 4.2 liter V8. Power is sent to the Quattro all wheel drive through a 6-speed automatic transmission.
EPA numbers range from 12 miles per gallon city to 19 miles per gallon highway.
Base MSRP for the 2008 Audi Q7 is $42,500, while Q7 4.2 Premium trim with full options can reach $85,000. The Q7 is backed by a 4-year, 50,000-mile power train warranty.
The 2008 Audi Q7 proves that the German automaker known for its premium sedans can also roll out a well-executed and capable SUV.
