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.

Has enough power for Indian roads

Bought the car from the Mumbai showroom in December 2023 and it has been a great journey since. Over 1 year of my ownership it has been the best experience. It has enough power for Indian roads and is a great pleasure to drive. The rear seat comfort is a bit on the low side but the engine and driving dynamics make up for it. All the Porsche staff are amazing to deal with and always there to help.
