Beauty and the beast -The New Q7

I have been driving Audi’s for a while and new Q7 is no exception rather it’s exceeded my expectations. The performance, size and comfort is truly amazing. Especially the Q7 glides on the road. It maintains and lives up to the charm of Audi badge. Good purchase, however, on the flip side it’s not fuel efficient and also high on maintenance.

The Beast

Exchanged my 3GT for this beast. Booking to delivery was less than a week. EVM sales personnel especially Mr.Jaimon knows how to lure customers. I was blown away by the looks of the car. Also it has some mouth watering specs and features. Though a huge upgrade from my GT I do miss the comfort it offered. Other than that my X4 M40i beats GT on every other aspect. Once again a proud owner.
