2022 Audi SQ7 | 500hp Family SUV Review

Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This new 2022 Audi SQ7 is one of them. The Audi Q7 is a mid-size 3-row SUV that competes with the BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Acura MDX. The SQ7 is a 500-horsepower, V8-powered version of the Q7. In this video, we drive the Audi SQ7 to review its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

I have a 2018 S6. The prior generation interior before they went to screens vs buttons. Older version much better. I love my car, but I am retired and don't have a daily commute. Don't get an SQ7 unless you have a BIG budget for routine maintenance. My car gets 15 mpg in town, burns through tires before 20K miles, and routine oil changes, brake jobs, etc., double what you would expect. Having said that, rewards you every time you start the engine and routine trips to the store are even fun. Just a matter of priorities!

Spot on review! For the money, performance, practicality, safety, etc, the best vehicle I have ever owned. I would redesign the shape of the rear lift gate though. I had hit my head at the outer edge of the lift gate a few times in a tight parking space and the lift gate won every single time.

Lol smudge, too cute. Great family vibes. Loving the family series of reviews. Really stands out from all the other YouTubers.

Love your family Micah! My wife and I just had our first baby ( girl ) and can't wait to go from my sporty car to a family friendly SUV 🥰😁

[OTTOMAN]

literally all parents had a heart attack from 1:40-2:07

POOP WHERE!?

[ChefoftheLand]

We have the same setup but ‘20 in brilliant black. Driving to Disney is always a blast.

[abbott]

You guys are great! And the Audi SQ7 looks wonderful in your video!

[JJB-]

Great review guys! For me, for sure, it will be an “emotional buy” that vehicle!

[levigato]

All Audi’s look a like and that’s from a guy that owned two in the past.

[Budinky]

Thanks for the video guys 👍 always enjoyable

[rnguyen]

Thank you so much for the family perspective! I would love to see you guy showed us how you look sitting in the third row. As a family, there are so many times when I’ve had to use the third row and want to see how it would look as an adult. The fuel economy is a bit rough!

[pezz_pezzer]

I agree, and great review as always. Actually this was good timing to remind me I need a new pair of sunglasses so I will give Flying Eyes a go. Cheers!

Love your work.
You probably heard it before, but it's still a shock that here in europe where it's made, this Q7 is a full size SUV. A HUGE almost vulgar and gangster thing that never fits the road unless it's a highway.
While you keep repeating it is mid size and on the smaller side 😅

[monkeymanprophecy]

How did I just find this channel?!! This is awesome stuff!

[SummerJoyce]

Can't afford this vehicle but it's nice to watch your family review 😁

[Superfastjellyfish]

It’s kind tough to compare an Audi v8 fuel economy with a turbo 4 in a ford don’t you think?

[BradWilson]

It looks like a 2 row SUV with a 3rd row just in case you desperately need it. Unlike other 3 row models where I would drive with the 3rd row up and put it down when I need more cargo space, in this one I'd drive with it down and put it up when I need to accommodate half of a child's soccer team.

[jimj]

Every other reviewer has said the 2nd row is gigantic...

[craigm]

LOL. Evie…. Poop smudge reaction…. Made my day…

[hectordjibaou]

I'm not much of an MPG nut but did that say 15 city / 21 Highway, yuck -- those are truck numbers.
