7 Problems With The 2024 Audi Q7 You Must Know!

The Audi Audi Q7 is a family midsize luxury SUV that catches the eye with its gorgeous interior, good performance and silky smooth ride. However, if you’re after a new one in 2024, you should also find out what might be lurking beneath that plush surface. Here are the 7 main problems with the Audi Q7 based on reports and stories from owners of the current generation.


Over-complicated and unreliable infotainment system

Audi’s interior is dominated by two big screens, which, in all fairness, look awesome. But when you actually start using them, you’ll find they hide an overly-complicated interface, with complex menus and settings that can become quite a challenge to handle, especially while driving.

Spoiler alert! They freeze up all the time.

The MMI system - which stands for Multi Media Interface - is supposed to run everything, from your favorite tunes and car settings to your GPS and navigation needs. They even have their own MMI satellite-view navigation system providing rich dynamic displays with street speed limits and all. However, you’ve gotta pay 85 bucks every month for it. That’s steep, and did we mention “monthly”?

The system is not without faults. You can’t punch in a new destination while driving, sometimes it forgets your saved locations, and it’s such a struggle to hook up your phone. Current 2021-2023 Q7 owners also complain about the MMI taking ages to initialize when you hop in your car. Every time you get in, you have to wait between 2 and 5 minutes for the screens to load up all the data. If it loads it up, because we’ve seen numerous reports from users who complain about the screens getting stuck in the initializing phase.

And there’s the phone connectivity drama which we dare say it’s a common issue on most Audis. If you lose your phone signal, chances are the MMI interface disconnected it. But when you really don’t want to connect any phone, the car keeps asking you to do so. A nagging message pops up on the main screen asking you to connect your phone. Playing games, Audi?

The big issue is that everything in the car is run by these two huge touchscreens. So if the control screen freezes or just goes blank, as it has happened to many Q7 owners, you can’t adjust the air temperature, ventilation, AC, radio, garage door opener, cameras, to name a few.
