AUDI Q7 (2005-CURRENT)
We Say...
Audi may have been late to the SUV party, but at least it's catching up and in style. Based on the capable Porsche Cayenne platform, the Q7 is the most practical thanks to additional seating and the availability of a turbo-diesel engine. It certainly is pricey, but you do get everything thrown in. The definitive choice for a family of 7 who need to travel in first-class style.
A feeling of wholeness not present in other SUVs.
Pricing puts it at par with Audi A8 flagship.
