Among Audi’s athletic lineup of tech-laden luxury cars and SUVs, the 2021 Q7 is the one best suited for family duty. Despite its three rows of seats and slightly stodgy styling, the Q7 maintains the fun-to-drive nature that makes an Audi an Audi. Buyers can choose from two turbocharged engines—a 248-hp four-cylinder or a 335-hp V-6—both of which offer satisfactory pep for everything from in-town errands to highway cruises. Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system is standard, but the sportier models in the lineup make good use of an optional four-wheel steering system and an adaptive air suspension to deliver even more agile handling. The Q7’s chief rivals are some of the best luxury three-row SUVs on sale today, including the BMW X5, the Mercedes-Benz GLE, and the Volvo XC90. The Audi’s all-around skill set makes it a strong competitor to all of them—though it’s not as outright sporty as a Porsche Cayenne.
