NEW AUDI Q7

The NEW AUDI Q7 2010. This ranking is based on our analysis of 82 published reviews and test drives of the Audi Q7, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2010 Audi Q7 delivers distinctive elegance, spacious cargo room and lots of safety features. However, its high price and low fuel economy mean there are plenty of others in this class that offer more for the money.
The Q7 fits the bill as a luxury family SUV, offering excellent safety features, six- or seven-passenger seating, and a luxurious interior. "Many luxury features, excellent build quality and a smart-looking interior make the 2010 Audi Q7 a solid choice for a seven-passenger luxury crossover SUV,” writes Edmunds. “However, the Q7 isn't the quickest or roomiest crossover on the block."
Unless you buy the turbodiesel model, the Q7 just doesn't offer the same overall value as class competitors. With prices that begin at nearly $47,000 and can climb past $60,000, the Q7 is one of the more expensive vehicles in its class. The Q7 also achieves poor fuel economy -- at 14/19 mpg city/highway, its base engine's gas mileage is easily bested by more affordable rivals from Lexus and Cadillac.
However, the Q7 turbodiesel's 17/25 rating tops nearly all of its competitors -- but it also costs about $4,000 more than the other Q7 models. Because of its environmentally progressive nature, Road & Travel Magazine named the Q7 TDI Clean Diesel model its 2010 Earth, Wind & Power Truck of the Year.
