About Audi SQ7

About the Audi SQ7

The SQ7 imbues the Audi Q7 three-row SUV with a bit more muscle. Launched for the 2020 model year, it swaps the standard Q7’s sensible powertrains for a twin-turbocharged V8 that 500 hp and will haul seven people from zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. That gives the SQ7 the specs to compete with sportier versions of midsize luxury SUVs like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, as well as the always-sporty Porsche Cayenne.

Is the Audi SQ7 worth the cost?

The SQ7 adds a bit of drama to what is otherwise a fairly staid SUV. As with performance variants of other SUVs, though, that comes with a higher purchase price and a big dip in fuel economy. The SQ7’s V8 engine does at least give it a very distinct character, though.
