2022 Audi Q7 Petrol 55TFSI First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre19 Jan 2022

Audi has played its game well in India with the Q7 being one of its highest-ranking cars, even outranking some rivals. This SUV has been lauded not only for its size and space but also for its on- and off-road performance. This time the carmaker has taken its latest version a notch higher with updated styling, design, and features. However, it comes only with a petrol drivetrain, unlike its predecessor's diesel counterpart. Despite lacking the frugal bit now, it sure is at par in terms of performance and capability. Rather superior, for what it brings to the table.

Audi SQ7 Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh04 May 2016

This is a bright blue, technologically superior and bigger wheeled twin of what is already a delectable full-sized luxury SUV, the new Audi Q7. Okay, you can order the Audi SQ7 – yes, that's what it is called for it is faster as well – in more colours than just blue, but the SQ7 just looks brilliant in this colour.
