Audi Q7 Review.

It is my dream car. It makes all my traveling experience tiredless, me and my family enjoy riding it. It comforts us. We feel like we are gliding on the road. Makes us feel special.

A car for "Sheer driving pleasure"

This bimmer is different from any car ever made by BMW. The best thing about this car is its music and I am NOT referring to the sound of the radio but the ENGINE. the mighty 4.0 liter V8 engine produces a massive 420 bhp of power designed in the M labs of BMW where its F1 engines are designed. It is the most advanced V8 engine in the world and is absolutely a thrill to drive. You can change the chassis and the suspension setting with. the touch of the button located on the steering wheel. Once to Turn the traction control off and then put the car in sport mode then there is nothing controlling that mighty engine except you the car just accelerates from 0-100kmph in just 5.7sec and that is really fast. This BMW also offers a DCT (double clutch transmission) which keeps the car accelerated even during the superfast gear change. Thus making this car BMW have stand by their quote of "Sheer Driving pleasure" and this car is nothing but that.<br>Power,acceleration, handling,comfortSpeed limited to 250kmph,too many gadgetss

2022 Audi Q7 Petrol 55TFSI First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre19 Jan 2022

Audi has played its game well in India with the Q7 being one of its highest-ranking cars, even outranking some rivals. This SUV has been lauded not only for its size and space but also for its on- and off-road performance. This time the carmaker has taken its latest version a notch higher with updated styling, design, and features. However, it comes only with a petrol drivetrain, unlike its predecessor's diesel counterpart. Despite lacking the frugal bit now, it sure is at par in terms of performance and capability. Rather superior, for what it brings to the table.

Audi SQ7 Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh04 May 2016

This is a bright blue, technologically superior and bigger wheeled twin of what is already a delectable full-sized luxury SUV, the new Audi Q7. Okay, you can order the Audi SQ7 – yes, that's what it is called for it is faster as well – in more colours than just blue, but the SQ7 just looks brilliant in this colour.
