The second-generation Audi Q7 is 300kg lighter than its predecessor
-
Enlarged, extra-chromey single-frame grille is one of Audi’s latest design features. It looks like it’s machined-from-billet aluminium — but it couldn’t be, for pedestrian protection
-
Large front doors are aluminium, so they play their part in the weight-saving regime. They also overlap the sills, so you won’t risk muddying your trouser legs when getting in and out
-
These ‘five-arm turbine’ alloys are one of a pair of 21in wheel options. SE cars have 19s, which look very small on the car indeed
-
LED tail-lights are wide, with striking running light illumination in the shape of a double arrow. Indicators sweep left and right, for added visual drama
-
Front occupants have lots of room and the cabin ambiance is top-notch
-
S line cars gain nappa leather sports seats over base SE models
-
Three individual seats in the middle row slide fore and aft; folding them to give access to the third row requires some muscle, despite the hydraulic assistance
-
Practically every VW Group infotainment system is up to snuff, but Audi’s version always nudges it a bit further into rarefied technophile pleasure
-
Q7's buttons click and select with a heavy-duty sense of quality
-
Q7’s wide centre console means that Audi’s touch-sensitive panel for doodling addresses and phone numbers gets bigger than ever
-
Q7’s load area is 770 litres with five seats raised and 1955 litres with the middle and back rows flattened; rearmost seats fold out of the boot floor easily
-
Audi claims 6.5sec to 62mph for our test car, and we validated that at 6.2sec to 60mph
-
Optional air springs result in a comfortable, compliant ride over most surfaces
-
The Q7’s grip and general stability allow it to be driven with limit-defying briskness without appreciably taxing its driver
