2014 Audi Q7 Premium Plus

The Q7 is Audi's three-row luxury SUV, the one you cross-shop with the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GL. It drives with the composed, planted feel you expect from Audi, and the ride stays smooth even on rough pavement. The cabin is beautifully built and quiet, with comfortable seats for the first two rows, though the third row is tight. Cargo space is generous behind the second row, and the power liftgate makes loading easy. Dropping from the Prestige to the Premium Plus saves you some luxury gadgets, but you keep the strong 280 horsepower 3.0L I6 and the same composed ride. The 3.0L I6 pulls smoothly from low revs, and the eight-speed automatic shifts quickly, delivering 18 mpg combined in everyday driving. The Premium Plus adds a panoramic sunroof and leather seats as standard, giving the cabin a more premium feel without the Prestige's price.
