2015 Audi Q7 Owners Manual – The 2015 Audi Q7 receives three brand-new options packages (Luxury, Sport Style Plus, Offroad Style Plus) and a couple of small trim changes, including the deletion for the elective back seat activity program.
Options, Trim Levels, and Body Styles
The 2015 Audi Q7 is a full size, 7-passenger luxury SUV available in six trim degrees: TDI Premium, 3.0T Premium, TDI Premium Plus, 3.0T Premium Plus, TDI Prestige and 3.0T S line Prestige. The 3.0T models come with all the gasoline V6 engine (with extra output for the 3.0T S range Prestige), while the TDI models have the diesel V6.
The 3.0T Premium comes requirement with 18-inch rims, taillights and LED turn signals, xenon headlights with LED running lights, rooftop rails, rear parking sensors, heated mirrors, an electric lift gate (with programmable opening direction), dual-zone automated weather control, automatic wipers, leather upholstery, a handbook tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, burl walnut inlays, eight-way power heated up front side seats (with four-way lumbar), a sliding and an rearview mirror that is auto-dimming and reclining 40/20/40-split second-row seat. Technology characteristics consist of Bluetooth phone connectivity, Audi’s fundamental MMI with a 6.5-inch display screen and an 11-speaker audio system with a CD player, an iPod interface and satellite radio.

Special Features and Interior Design
The 2015 Audi Q7’s interior is par for the program with Audi, which means that a great amount of excellent materials and a dashboard layout that is well-designed. The leading compartment is obviously built around the driver, producing a cockpit-like feel that’s unusual in a large SUV. The MMI electronics interface boasts logical menus and clean images, although we however choose BMW’s iDrive or Mercedes’ COMAND for total simplicity of use. The difference in high quality is especially popular whenever you understand that the MMI system within the Q7 could be the smaller, older adaptation. Various other Audis have actually a more recently upgraded variation that is larger and easier to read through.
As for room, adult-sized guests need a lot of it into the Q7’s first couple of rows, and they’re going to value that the second-row seats both fall and recline to improve long-haul comfort. The row that is third nonetheless, works only for kids, that is discouraging in this class. Cargo space likewise lags behind compared to the opposition, with only 72.5 cubic legs of room with all the next and third rows collapsed flat — about the same as a Honda CR-V. Whenever both rear seating rows come in use, the rear luggage place measures a paltry 10.9 cubic legs.
Safety
Regular safety functions from the 2015 Audi Q7 include antilock brakes, forward seat area airbags, balance and traction control, backside parking sensors and side curtain airbags. Front parking devices, a blind area caution program and a rearview camera are regular regarding the Prestige and Premium Plus trims. A corner-view camera program is a Prestige unique. Second-row part airbags tend to be optional on all trims.
Performance and Powertrains
Running the 2015 Audi Q7 3.0T Premium Plus and 3.0T Premium is a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 that generates 295 pound-feet of torque and 280 horsepower. The 3.0T S line Prestige’s version for this engine cranks out 325 lb-ft of torque and 333 hp. An eight-speed transmission that is automatic all-wheel drive tend to be regular.
The Audi Q7 TDI is actually run on a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6 that creates 240 hp and a robust 406 lb-ft of torque. The diesel engine can also be combined with an 8-speed automatic and drive that is all-wheel. EPA-estimated energy economy clocks in at a laudable 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway).
Driving Impressions
The Q7 is best in the available path. It really is whisper-quiet from the inside (despite having the diesel engine) and has now amazingly quick reflexes that make this large crossover seem smaller than its. The drive top quality, but, could be a touch too firm for a few consumers, in which case we advice the Prestige trim’s optional environment suspension with flexible comfort configurations.
