Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Audi Q7 is unchanged save for some feature and trim level updates. The base 3.6, 3.6 Premium and 4.2 Premium trim levels all have extra standard equipment this year (and higher MSRPs to match.) Last year's base 4.2 trim level has been dropped.

• Sport-oriented handling on air-suspension-equipped models, high-tech luxury and safety features, superior interior design and craftsmanship.

• Heavy curb weight hampers acceleration and fuel economy, cramped third-row seat, no factory DVD entertainment system.

  Noisy engine - 2008 Audi Q7
  By Cubano - May 1 - 1:25 pm

  The reliability has been poor, the worst of any vehicle a have owned. Had to tow it to the dealer in my first week of ownership, the engine just stopped running. Front bearing gone at 25,000 KM. Driver door keeps dropping, it has been fixed 3 times. Other problems, way too many. Frustrating. I find the V6 quite noise even below 2000 RPM makes more noise than my brother in law Ford Escape. Dealer service could be better

  So Far So Good - 2008 Audi Q7
  By 2008 Q7 - November 26 - 9:57 am

  Good car so far. Lots of comments on the great looks. No major issues to date. Ready for new tires at 27K. Brakes are coming. Pull a 5000lb boat with some difficulty. Pulls well up to about 50mph then struggles trying to maintain 60mph+, even on the slightest hill. I manually shift to keep the gearing correct or the engine just revs really high. Recommend the 3.0 TDI or the 4.2 V8 if you plan to pull more than 3000lbs. My biggest beef is the lack of a rear hatch close feature on the key fob. Audi seems to think your hands are full when loading, but not full when unloading. Cant reach the button with full hands. Wife wants another when the lease is up. Probably the TDI Prestige.

  Disappointed - 2008 Audi Q7
  By disappointed - December 9 - 6:29 pm

  Love the car except the electronics. Console buttons shorted out from windex used to clean off finger prints. Really bad design as the buttons are not sealed and will short out with only a couple of drops. Audi will not stand behind. Cost $1000 to replace in the first 6 months. Afraid to use the cup holders that are located above the elect. 2 drops and another $1000. pule the hassle. Want my Range Rover back.

  Disappointed - 2008 Audi Q7
  By Stephanie - September 5 - 8:02 pm

  My husband purchased this car for me and traded in our A4 cab for it. I loved it at first. Then a month into ownership, the trunk latch broke. It wouldnt close all the way so I had to drive the hour away to the nearest dealership (twice) to get it fixed. 2 weeks ago, my MMI system stopped working and it was stuck to only play CDs. I took it in today and was told youre out of luck because you spilled something on it. Had I known this was such a common problem, I wouldnt have bought this car. Now I have to shell out the money out of pocket to replace the MMI system. After reading a bunch of reviews, it seems to be an extremely common problem.

  Dream SUV - 2008 Audi Q7
  By Rocker Joe - May 9 - 7:44 am

  Had an 02 and 05 X5 but needed something larger. Now have 3000 miles and no problems. Love the S-Line option but Audi takes 2 points off the residual value for leases which doesnt seem fair when you pay more.
