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.

It is not a car it is super car.

The buying experience is nice and the driving experience is great. The look is very satisfying and the open top is unbelievable. Performance is super. Service and maintenance I don't try at this time.
