Audi hasn’t stopped with the Q7’s exterior – it’s been busy beavering away with its cabin too. Most prominent is a trio of high-resolution screens, plus some of the plushest materials of any seven-seat SUV on sale.

Sure, the BMW X5’s infotainment system is easier to use and the Mercedes GLE’s widescreen display looks a bit more futuristic, but the Audi Q7 comes with all the sat-nav and smartphone mirroring features you could ask for and its digital driver’s display is still the best in the business.

The Audi Q7 has the competition licked when it comes to boot space, too. With the standard third row of seats (which cost extra in some SUVs) flipped down, you’ll be able to cram in more luggage than in the BMW or Mercedes and there’s loads of room for tall passengers to get comfy in the middle row thanks to the Q7’s high roof and reclining seats.

Combine these roomy, supportive seats with the Audi Q7’s standard air suspension, and you’ve got yourself a seriously comfortable SUV to travel in. It’s very quiet at motorway speeds and the Q7’s two diesel engines are smooth and even relatively economical thanks to some clever mild-hybrid tech

One thing the Audi Q7 won’t do, however, is put a particularly big grin on your face on a quiet country road. Sure, the adaptive sports suspension in Black Edition and Vorsprung cars helps make them feel slightly more agile, but even they can’t disguise their large size as well as the sportier BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne.
