Audi Q7: Review of the S-Line from Ireland

The Audi Q7 has gotten great remarks from the industry critics with their first venture into the SUV market. This article, by way of Ireland takes a look at the Audi Q7 with its S-Line package and all of the thrills and benefits that it brings. The reviewer in the end is not that fond of the Q7 for its "intimidating" qualities.



Here are a few excerpts:

It’s not as if Audi has a tradition in SUVs. Not compared to makers like Land Rover, or Toyota or Nissan, whose vehicles have long been mainstays in parts of the world where cars have to work hard.....

.....It’s just that, despite its ability, quality, refinement, I didn’t feel comfortable driving the Q7. Maybe because I don’t like intimidating people. And the Q7 is, in my view, styled and designed to intimidate.....

.....Inside, all is luxury and tech. The main two rows of seats were sumptuous, leather and sports-profiled as another extra in the review car. The rearmost pair, though well made, were rather cramped for real people.....

.....The review car had the 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine that is well familiar from a number of applications throughout the VW Group. With 233hp growling under the hood, the accompanying 500Nm of torque offered surging but smooth performance when requested. Given the size and weight of the car, average fuel consumption of around 10 L/100km is quite respectable.
