2027 Audi Q7
Audi's three-row midsized SUV gets a redesign for the 2027 model year. While the engines and styling are new, the SUV's rough dimensions are the same. At launch, the Q7 will come with a 429-hp, 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, while the SQ7 performance version will feature a 591-hp, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Both models will come with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The exterior styling is harmonious with the recently redesigned Q3 and Q5 SUVs, but inside, the Q7 gets a whole new look. The SUV features the familiar double-width driver's gauges and center infotainment screen, and comes standard with a third screen for the front-seat passenger. But Audi went back to more conventional mirror, window, and lighting controls in the Q7, and the elegant interior features wood trim and subtle chrome details rather than piano-black plastic. The Q7 is the first Audi in the U.S. to feature adaptive headlights that continuously adjust the beam patterns. An adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering are optional on the Q7; All SQ7 models receive the adaptive air suspension system as standard, and the SQ7's optional sport version lowers the ride height by 30 mm. Cargo room has increased by 10 cubic feet, according to Audi's measurements. The Q7 and SQ7 go on sale in late 2026.

Brand context
About Audi
<p>Audi sells a wide range of sedans and SUVs with luxurious interiors and lots of technology. Several of its SUVs and sedans have earned CR’s recommendation for balancing driver and passenger comfort with smooth power and nimble handling. In most cases, buyers shopping for sedans and SUVs in the luxury category should consider Audi’s options. Fit and finish quality reaches even the lowest-priced models. However, like most luxury cars from European brands, maintenance and repair costs can be expensive, making used Audis difficult to recommend. Typically, Audi identifies sedans with the letter A, SUVs with the letter Q, and numbers that increase according to size. The Q3 is a compact crossover while the Q7 is a three-row SUV. Models that start with S or RS are tuned for performance and have more power, stiffer suspension, and more aerodynamic exterior details. All-electric models have the E-tron suffix.</p>
