.............................................................
This is the new Audi SQ7!
Rolling in with a number of exterior & interior updates, along with an all-new engine, Mat’s on hand to find out whether this newly-updated 7-seater is the must-have, family-friendly performance SUV!
So what’s new compared to the old model? Well the big difference is under the bonnet! Whereas previously model was diesel-only, the new SQ7 rolls up with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 to deliver 507hp & 770Nm of torque!
As for the other updates, you’ll find the usual styling tweaks both inside and out, but what else would you expect from a mid-life facelift?
The question is, can Audi warrant the almost £100,000 for the range-topping Vorsprung model? You’ll need to stick with Mat to find out!

I really enjoy watching your review because of the comic side of it. Keep it up. Watching from 🇬🇭 Ghana, west Africa
The way this car lifts up when you accelerate that is awesome 👍
why the SQ7 looks so purple? :D On the thumbnail its blue.
I’m on my 2nd SQ7 Vorsprung I’ve had both the diesel and now the petrol, perfect performance for the school run with 4 kids, great cars the petrol is more fun but the diesel was way more fuel efficient and the new one does have Active Roll Stabilisation and sport differential 👍🏻 I will do a Video review on it soon. Nice to see the 0-60 nobody ever believes me how quick it is.
I like the color matching of Audi and your jacket
Honestly I’m not the biggest car junkie but mat’s reviews are so fun to watch!
Matt, you only turned off the traction control. If you keep holding the "traction off" button the ESC will turn off as well. I find in our SQ7 it pulls even harder with the ESC off as well. Great vid bud!

There's absolutely no need for it...just like BMW doesn't have M Power for the X7...still can't get why Merc offers 63S for the GLS..such a big bulky car to get such an engine..
18:20 - well said. I have a 2017 SQ7 and it is a phenomenal 7 seat SUV but I wish it would look meaner and more badass. Without looking closely, you won’t know it’s a beast. But SQ7 does have more room than the X5
Thank you so much! Was waiting for this review
Looking forward for the pre-facelift SQ7 diesel vs facelift SQ7 petrol, thanks Carwow.
probably I'm the one who still in love with previous shape SQ7!
I like that the middle row of seats have 3 isofix anchor points. Most only have 2. The only other I've found is the Citreon C4 Grand Picasso/Spacetourer
Great skill to match your coat with your car! Awesome vid as usual
Can you do a comparison between the old SQ7 (diesel) and new SQ7 (petrol); would be good to see the difference in power (HP & Torque) and acceleration and braking. Thank you.
11:40 car is happy to see me haha killed me with this one! Love ur humor Mat!
probably the best journalist!! Cheers from Portugal
My dad has a SQ7 too but he has the petrol version with 507 hp. Great video. 👍
I did like the V8 diesel, it's a shame they are using a petrol in this S car, but a diesel in the S4/S5/S6/S7. Should be the other way round
A 7 seat supercar... That's rare💯🖤
Love your videos. Awesome review, as always))
That launch was impressive. Didn't expect that.
Love it but for me the 50TDI delivers a very similar overall ownership experience for significantly less cash which is why it is where my hard earned ended up. In terms of annoying parts, you should mention the rubbish folding system for the middle row seats, the tiny glovebox and the rear seatbelts that rattle when not fastened. Overall though, what a great package and in my experience a much better steer than the X7. That performance is also incredible for a seven seater.
That colour is amazing!!!

How did you find the consumption for that? I have a model X currently, so I don't think the speed would blow me away. I'm looking into either the q8 or sq7 but would imagine the sq7 is quite bad consumption for high milage users? I still want some performance as well.
Wow the most beautiful car and most handsome man. Your shirt is looking cool with the car
The amount of speed humps in my area and also the 4 times my alloys cracked on my saloons in the past, I have no choice but to buy a suv, and this is not a bad shout, at the moment got a x5 m50d at the moment and lease is up in July so will have to test drive one of these, and I am defo using car wow for the best lease deals!
Been waiting for this review for ages
The perfekt car! Incredible engine, lots of space and really really good looking! Love the understatement!
I love this car, unfortunately I’m not a black trim fan, the front grill looks so much better with the silver bits
That paint looks great! Looks similar to BMW’s Individual Tanzanite Blue II Metallic.
17:03 is Lewis that "other driver" from your drag races? His sounds like his voice would be similar to that guy if he speaks through a walkie talkie
Hmm i actually liked the V8 Diesel in the old SQ7 and SQ8
That is a beast Motor! Iv got a standard S line 2016 Q7 I can only dream of affording one of these one day 😍😂
some impressive times..cool review!
The previous generation's diesel V8 was one cracking engine. Pointless change for an S-line model this close to the electric shift.
" a bit like shoving socks down your pants and shaking it around".. now that's funny!
Rear wheel steering! That's really cool!
Mat, I'm disappointed you didn't use the stick of truth for the exhaust. Don't let it die!
Beast of a car!!

Think the diesel was a perfect engine to this car. It's a car for eg owners of mid construction companies, who want to show off a lil bit and at the same time travel a lot. It was strong, preety fast and ... unique in compare to other (from VW ;)) brands (v8 diesel). If you want a performance suv, might always choose RSQ8
