    I honestly feel the previous gen Q7 had much better Road presence that the current one. SUVs are bought mainly for their Road presence. And I prefer the older boxy designs to the sleeker versions of SUVs. Who all feel the same?

    Agreed. It is a poor choice of design. If it's a full size spare tire then they should have mounted it under the rear end of the car. The whole idea of having a 7 seater is to utilize the space to its maximum output. Putting a spare tire reduces that & it just looks so off. Everything else in the Audi is so damn perfect.

    +jaimin891 you really think they would put it in the boot if they had a choice to put it under?? it's because there's no storage space under... it's not only Audi.. even Mercedes does the same with many of their cars...

    Selvamuthukumaran Rameshbabu Hi GLS is a very big SUV . It is the best car for a family with kids. (Like a family with 3 kids me and my husband decided we need a big car and two smaller SUVs ) It fits us perfectly GLE /coupe it's not as big as the GLS but it's still impressive . This was our second choice . We use it like a car for small trips or even in the city. GLC / coupe is big enough for a family with 2 kids . ( we live near a mountain so it's snowy in the winter. We decided this is the best car for the city and also we use it to take our kids to school,kindergarten etc. GLA - my personal opinion is that it isn't really an SUV. It's small and short . A family with no kids can fit . Wish I helped you (Sorry for my English)

    mr.Arya you are right on one point of view.being diesel vehicle above 2000cc is taxed hugely, obviously the best choice would be XC90 rated under 2000cc with almost performance and features. but, really u need to realise at one point of view that mercedes benz GLS350d, Audi Q7, BMW x5 are weighing nearly 2500to2600kgs unladen weight. these giants and mammoths vehicle are really powered up with high efficiency which can never be compared with XC90 as it is a crunching baby elephant with weight of 2000kgs of weight. so., you can guess and came to a conclusion that those mighty wagons pulling a heavy weight will never be opted for comparison chart with these vehicles. and XC90 is always a tiny & smart 7seater

    The Mercedes is nice too but that interior looks so dated, went and test drove one and you can see pixels on the screen. UI on screen looks cheaply made. Audi drove better, had the virtual cockpit, center screen went up and down, had far better sound quality, more backseat legroom. Driving the Audi was so cool, upon starting the car, the Bang and Olufsen speakers and center screen rose up, and the interior lighting changed in the cockpit. I expected more out of Mercedes, all it had that was better was a beefier engine.. I'm a car guy so I can appreciate it, but they slacked everywhere else.
