Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We take a look at the new 2017 Audi Q7 a luxury SUV with some stiff competition from BMW, Mercedes and Volvo. The Q7 is massively upgraded from the previous generation but does this three row platform offer something compelling? We look at safety, tech and a whole lot more.

Have anyone noticed that Audi has been setting quite a few stylistic trends in the auto industry since the mid-2000s? Hex grille, DRL LEDs, interior design... etc.

yes its a shame that cheap car brands like Hyundai or Kia started copying Audi's interior and exterior design. For me Audi is one of the most innovative car companies.

Nastasio in a way it makes me angry. Your paying a high price for a premium vehicle. Yet car brands that aren’t as prestigious are just copying off their designs.
You're the only one that is actually reviewing a car instead of reading the brochure's content in front of us, loving it! Each review is like a well made documentary instead of just a review!
Subscribed. 7 years later. Great review. Thank you.
Just bought this used with 99k miles. Two owners and both serviced it at Audi. Paid 19k and added a 5 year 50000 miles power train warranty. Fricken love this car.

What warranty did you get? Bought a 17 with 65k. Can’t seem to find a warranty that doesn’t have all negative reviews or seems like a flat out scam.
This review convinced me to buy one. I confirm ride quality and engine smoothness are incredible (much low end torque and very linear engine). I often do 600miles a weekend to go camp / climb / bike. Not an issue. It also saved the life of a hobo in SF that ran right in front of me (auto braking works, real good). After one year, i'd say the main weakness is: voice control / GPS input is just total rubbish. It just doesn't work: I tell it to do a google search instead, which works very well. I hardly drive in town and do mostly highway + mountain roads and I average 26mpg...and I do not have a light foot.

Something I miss about the old videos compared to the new videos: All the nature noises with the garage door open while in the shoppe!
2018, nicest, most confident ride I’ve ever owned. Absolutely adore this vehicle.
Hands down the best review video I've seen of this model Q7.
What a high quality video review! I think your car reviews are among the best on KZread!
Great video!

That was an Awesome video! I watched your Q5 video. I liked that one also then I seen a Q7 on the road so I searched for a review, and here it is you knocked it “out the park” Keep up the great work!
You've got such a high level of production quality. Keep up the good work, I love your videos and are by far the best on youtube. I especially love how you detail it mechanically and give a breakdown rather than just a spec sheet. Your videos helped me pick out and decide between a new IS350 and a S4 (picked the S4) but you video helped a lot. Thanks
Loved getting to see underneath the car I own, very interesting, thank you!
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for your honesty, great reviews and cinematography! I have watched most of your reviews and keep coming back. keep up the good work!
It's informative banter. it's unlike your typical you tube video review. Keep up the good work! You've got a new subscriber here.
Love the turbowski part. I also like looking at suspensions and wondering why they do different setups on different cars even though it's probably not such a big mystery once you get into the engineering/physics part of it, but just looking at different suspension setups is really interesting.
Love your videos man! Great intros, reviews. Just love them. been a fan for awhile!
A rare sighting of elevation change and turns in the Chicago burbs!! Great video! A lot of this stuff is in my Atlas SEL Premium.
Great reviews. Focusing on the design and body/mechanical/engine details elevates it to a truly geeky and solid level.
Audi have been getting great reviews as of 2016 , by the way I love your in depth reviews , one of my favorite channels on youtube for sure .
wow !wow ! wow! first of all been following Bloom's work for years . great dp. love how you showed the car's bottom - love the length os shots - MAKE you an admirer of suspension - I felt similar sense alike when you watch at the back of mechanical wrist watch - its like ocean - you can watch it endlessly . and another thing like the talking in the garage - you're talking to the guy and I feel like a third person - just standing there observing . cheerio
finally Audi car in this channel , i think audi cars suits enthusiasts like you savage
i just finished this video, i been watching a few minutes here and there and the praise Audi gets from you makes me want one. The quiet smooth ride quality etc seems like a legit CarUV.

i will add this as well, the Porsche 911 does the same thing on the dash, with out any options on it the door panels, center stack, and upper dash are plastic. so yes even the best of the best (S class, 911, BMW M3) all have plastics and not the most amazing materials in the world.

Great review, it confirms my views on the car. It's unbelievable good!
Great review. Well covered.
I don't know if you read the comments on older videos but here goes: Can you do a video on the Lincoln Navigator? Also I really REALL enjoy your channel. I think you truly go over the ownership aspects well and you actually talk about maintenance and repair costs. Most if not all of all car review never talk about that. Real use cases, tech and cabin review, undercarriage review, and more. You guys really deep dive into this stuff. A car, especially if your buying it, is like buying a small house and you have to know what your getting into. It's not like the car makes you money, it a depreciating asset that costs money, so its a good idea to have it be thoroughly looked over before purchase. Even if it's a lease it's allot of money going out of your pocket plus you don't want a car that spends 3 months in the shop or is unreliable. Thanks to your channel anyone can have a better idea of what they want to buy. In the future I hope you get to have long term reviews like 6 months later or a year later. That would be great stuff.
I can't believe I missed this channel for all these years. If you didn't know, you would think this was produced by the BBC or NBC.
VERY few of the supposedly informational KZread channels aspire to the level of honesty and high polish as is shown here. Both of you have raised the bar for frank and conscientious research. It’s like you’re almost ready for syndication. Totally refreshing.

this is the car of my dreams! Amazing, awesome, beautiful interior and exterior, Bang & Olufsen sound system!! I love Audi!! 🙌🙌 Que carro fodaaaa!!!!!
A great and detailed review and it influenced my decision to buy one in the UK - 2018 50tdi Vorsprung. Petrol ones are v rare in the UK and torque filled diesel suits the car very well. I thought the Vorsprung pack addressed the lower quality trim areas and makes a lovely luxury car, with a lot of luggage capacity, which is just what I wanted
I have owned Audi's for over 20 years. For SUV I have stuck to the smaller more nimble versions like the SQ5 and Q5 TDI as well as Q5 3.0T. I am a contractor and use these as my work trucks, they hold up incredibly well when taken care of and I always buy them with near 100K miles to get the best bang for the buck. I also like to push performance on them so my sedans are always S and now RS models and the amount of extra power you can make while still being reliable is incredible. I recently bought a 2017 Q7 Prestige with every option minus the night vision. It took me a long time to find one with all the extra stuff like Luxury package, Adaptive chassis package with four wheel steering and air suspension, and B&O sound. Anyway, I would like to see if you wanted to do a review on my car of how this model is holding up with higher miles and the reality of how well this car is built. Mine has 82K miles on it and it drives and handles like I would picture one right off the lot. I also tow my work trailers with it and the 7700lb tow capacity is so good. I also added a tune and dual pulley from APR to give it a bit more power.
The interior is just so attractive. Would totally get it over an X5 or GLE
Good review I bought a 2019 cause of you Mr. Mad goose.
great review.. i was looking for this real review.. now i can buy the car 😊 thank you
I’ve driven the 2020q7 god fell in love the 3.0 is fn fast and I had no idea it was standard super charged I couldn’t hear anything I’m waiting until the market cools for a used one ! Your right mr goose the radar cruise and steer assist is so so good even around corner I’m like wtf this is early shit makes long trips easy!
truly world class review. thank you !
I never watch car reviews for fun but ever since I stumbled across ed Mr Geese's reviews I'm hooked. Keep up the good work Geese. Side note: Just bought myself an MDX.
Awesome review. Love the under carriage shots.
nice review. that new assist technology is cool.
This guys reviews are underrated.
This is very informative. It helps the decision procesd. Thanks.
You always get the music spot on
Nothing new to say... Great video... sincere, honest and knowledgeable.

I've seen a number of your videos including your XC90 video. How would you compare the two having had the opportunity to spend some decent quality time in both? I'm an XC90 T8 owner who is currently rather annoyed at Volvo and their after sales service and i'm seriously considering a Q7. ta
Great in depth review. Please note the VW group have factories all over the EU. It’s like airbus which have factories all over EU making various components but main assembly done in France.
This is the review that made me buy my 2018 Q7.
very enjoyable video...well done
Under Carriage Segment - my favorite!

Great review.
I own this Q7 for three years. Yes, he is right. The drive is incredible. The acceleration is smooth and effortless. The Q7 is a HUGE step up from the Q5. Everything inside is so luxurious. HOWEVER, I experienced many electrical problems, such as back-up camera not showing up (it should be automatic.) It happens randomly, so Audi couldn't figure out why. Apple CarPlay sometimes doesn't connect. Just this past week, it failed to connect 50% of the time. That's kind of annoying.
What a quality review.
Couldn't agree more about leasing fully-loaded cars. It's always the best way to go. I lease my '16 VW GTI Autobahn and it's fully loaded (performance package, lighting package, dynamic chassis control, 6-speed manual), and I got it for $399/month, NO money down, tax included in that lease price, and the wheel/tire insurance thrown in for free. That's a really solid deal for a car that MSRPs for almost $35,000.

My experience with the active lane assist has been quite different. I have a 2018 S4 and very often it will not recognize lane markings even when they are very clear and bright. It will also sometimes pickup on a a line of tar where they sealed joints on the asphalt and think that’s a lane marking and jerk the wheel - often towards incoming traffic. It’s awful but of course the dealer “couldn’t duplicate” and just reinstalled all the software. Didn’t fix it. The Audi Presense, however, has saved me from a rear end collision a couple times because it recognized the car in front of me had jammed on its brakes before I did.
I appreciated the thoughtful and thorough Q7 review; thank you. I intend to buy one, and like all vehicles I buy, buy it new and keep it for a while--doing all needed maintenance and repairs. Is there an alternative to your leasing recommendation? I do not like the economics of leasing, especially if I am going to keep the car for several years.
Benn looking for cars this past months, I love your videos, the way you give us car info is simple yet deep, love the guys who help you in the shop. Quick question would you buy the 2007 Q7 over the 2007 GX460?
Mr.Geese, like how you tested the Level2 autonomous system here, you need to do it for the XC 90 as well or do an exclusive video on these systems Audi, Volvo others
I'm in love with the MMI, Digital Instrument Cluster and Radar Cruise Control. But all the rest of the Tech is more of a pain than useful to me.
I like all his videos, with or without Scott. There's just something different about his videos that make it enjoyable to the end.

Am I the only one that isn't crazy about all of the extra technology and tons of sensors? I know that's what the market is asking for, and I definitely appreciate the attention to detail that went into this vehicle, but I'm just not down for a lot of the automation.
Anyone else usually stop watching after the In the shoppe? I love In the shoppe segment it is awesome, but most of these reviews I don't actually care about the cars. I just enjoy the banter and detailed look at the mechanicals. Hope you don't mind goose I know you put a lot of work into these reviews and it shows. Still the best quality reviews on youtube and has been for a long time.

Nice review!! any plan to review the upcoming 2025 Q7 55 that has 2nd mid-cycle refresh?
I test drive the Q7.The engine+ transmission+ suspension = Fun n enjoyable ride and handling.Its like driving a luxury sedan rather than SUV..impressive Q7👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗🤗
Can you do the regular grand cherokee with air suspension 2014+ top of the line summit. Really would like to here your opinion
Yes, it's definitely a nice car, it drives so good, the interiour is so nice and the seets are so nice. We have the E-Tron and it drives so well

Great reviews...May I suggest hex-AG-uh-nul for the pronunciation?

Having driven both, would you go for a 2017 Audi Q7 premium plus or 2017 Volvo XC90 inscription? If they had similar miles and similar price, which one would you want to live with? Ps I don’t care about the 7 seats, but I do like that the XC90 does have a spare tyre.... interested in thoughts!
Hello. Since you have also reviewed the XC90, which one out of the 2 do you recommend? I know both of them are extremely good, but which one did you enjoy more? Also which one do you think it is more economical?
I love the in-shop part, but pls add kilos in the upcoming reviews thnx.
I have the prestige Hands down the best Q7 vdo presentation on here
The fact that I do not see any lower black plastic cladding speaks quality to me.
So.. 3 years later... should I now buy a used 2017 Q7, 2018 Q7, 2018 Q5 or 2018 BMW X3? I know... big size differences.. but I'm looking for a vehicle that will replace my aging 2006 honda pilot and I plan to keep this for 12+ years... Thx for the advice!
savagegeese or everyone please answer my question, is it the air intake that is mounted on the front of the engine? savagegeese said it is the intake ports or is intake port and air intake the same?
Just watched this and your xc90 review. Which one would you choose?
Actually, warpage of rotors rarely occurs with most cars since they are not used on a track and the brakes aren't pushed to overheating even with a couple of emergency stops in testing. Uneven wear is typically the problem seen with rotors.
