2014 Audi Q7: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2014 Audi Q7
1st-generation Q7 (4L), facelifted 2010-2015; 2014 is a late-cycle year, one of the last U.S. model years before the next-generation Q7 arrived.
Audi positions the Q7 as a luxury family SUV that tries to feel more like a premium Audi car from the driver’s seat than a bulky three-row truck. The big selling points are a high-quality cabin, standard quattro all-wheel drive, seating for up to seven, and flexible cargo space. Against rivals, Audi leans less on maximum room and more on road manners, understated design, and premium interior finish, with the TDI versions adding long-distance torque and efficiency.
For 2014, Premium trims focus on straightforward comfort, while Premium Plus versions add navigation, Bose audio, a rearview camera, and keyless entry and start. The 3.0T S line Prestige is the sporty, well-equipped gas model, while the TDI Prestige combines the diesel V6 with features such as ventilated front seats, four-zone climate control, and blind-spot monitoring.
