Whether you’re already interested in an Audi Q7 for sale or are just curious about what this three-row SUV has to offer, we’re ready to help. One look at this stunning vehicle will give you a sense of what makes it so impressive: its gorgeous style, large and powerful stance, and terrific features inside and out all come together beautifully. And if you take one of these beasts for a spin and feel the kind of power it has to offer, then you’ll quickly realize that this is an SUV that leaves similar options in its dust. Let’s take a closer look at what this stunning vehicle brings to the road, and you’ll discover why so many people are just as excited as we are about the 2025 Audi Q7.

Before we start getting into more details about this SUV (though we will, trust us), let’s briefly touch on some of its basics. As you might know, the Audi Q7 is a luxurious three-row SUV, which means it’s not quite as large as some massive full-size models, but it’s still bigger than a lot of similar midsize SUVs. You’ll find seating inside for up to seven passengers, making this a gorgeous and sophisticated option if you have a growing family and need to bring many people along with you. There’s still plenty of cargo space inside this model, so you can have the whole family pile in while loading up with luggage or other things you need.

There are two main options available for this SUV that you should consider: the standard Q7 and the high-performance SQ7 model. You’ll find a lot of similar features on them inside and out, but the engines available on them are different, so it’s important to keep this in mind when looking at the kind of power you can get with this gorgeous vehicle. For many drivers, the two engines available for the Q7 are more than enough and make for a driving experience that you’ll look forward to every day. No matter what you choose, you’ll get an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive that ensures you remain in control at all times, providing you with a smooth drive and responsive handling that’s fantastic in all kinds of conditions.

The standard powertrain for the 2025 Audi Q7 is a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that delivers 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. With this standard engine, the Q7 has a top speed of 130 mph and can go from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds—quite impressive for a three-row SUV. You get an EPA-estimated 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway with this engine, making it the most efficient option that will keep you going longer between stops for gas. If you want something with more power, however, then you have two more options.

Your other choice for the standard Q7 model is a 3.0L six-cylinder engine that delivers 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. With this stunning powertrain, the Audi Q7 can go from zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, which is perfect for merging onto the highway or just getting going in the morning. Finally, you can choose the SQ7 high-performance model with its exclusive engine: a 4.0L V8 that provides you with an incredible 500 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. With this engine roaring to life, the Audi SQ7 can go from zero to 60 mph in just four seconds flat and has a top speed of 155 mph (on the track, of course). Each of these engines provides an incredible driving experience designed to ensure you look forward to every moment you spend on the road.

Just as remarkable as the incredible power that Audi has packed under the hood of the Q7 is how beautifully the brand has designed the vehicle. From the outside, it is clear that a tremendous amount of care and attention to detail has gone into this vehicle. In fact, for the 2025 model year, Audi has given the Q7 a makeover and a refresh, updating its styling and bold looks to be even better than before. Looking at this SUV alongside last year’s model, you will quickly notice a number of new details, including revised headlights and tail lights, along with a refreshed front grille. The result is an SUV that looks stunning from any angle and an Audi that you’ll be proud to own.The 2025 Audi Q7 comes standard with 19-inch wheels, though 20-inch wheels are available to elevate your ride and give your SUV a bolder overall stance. The standard five-arm and available five-double-spoke wheels all look amazing, plus you get Matrix-design LED headlights with DRL signature lighting for excellent visibility and gorgeous style. A number of exterior colors are offered so you can customize your ride and make it perfectly match your aesthetic, including Carrara White, Mythos Black Metallic, Samurai Gray Metallic, and Satellite Silver Metallic. No matter what kind of look you’re going for, there’s a Q7 that beautifully fits it.

Inside the Q7, you’ll find a cabin that’s just as richly designed and well-appointed as the exterior, creating an SUV that’s the total package. You get plenty of space inside the Q7 to take advantage of, with 14.2 cu.ft. of rear cargo space, 35.7 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the second row, and 69.6 cu.ft. of total cargo room available. The leather seating surfaces inside are offered in a wide range of colors, including Pando Gray, Black, and Okapi Brown, with trim and details that match beautifully. Available Valcona/Cricket leather seating is offered in Black, Cedar Brown, and Saiga Beige for an absolutely gorgeous interior.

One of the best things about the 2025 Q7 is how simple Audi makes it to find everything you’re looking for in your next SUV. Along with the three engines we looked at earlier, you have three trim levels to choose from: the Premium, the upgraded Premium Plus, and the Prestige trim at the top level. The Premium comes with standard features, including an impressive 12.3-inch HD display as part of the Audi virtual cockpit, giving you a customizable digital instrument cluster that you can configure to perfectly meet your preferences. This is joined by a 10.1-inch infotainment screen along with an 8.6-inch display below it that acts as a dedicated screen for climate controls and vehicle settings. These three screens make it easy to keep track of everything you need and make adjustments quickly.

Moving up to the Premium Plus, you get a number of upgrades, including a Bang & Olufsen Premium sound system with 3D sound that is absolutely stunning. This is combined with an LED interior lighting package, a wireless charging pad, and other enhanced features inside to elevate your time on the road. Finally, the Prestige trim level includes a head-up display to project information into your sightline, individual contour front seats with ventilation and massage functionality for incredible comfort, and much more. This is the ultimate expression of Audi luxury, and you have to experience it for yourself to fully appreciate it.
