  • 2017 Audi Q7 first drive

    Audi has completely redesigned its Q7 for the 2017 model year, and it's an important vehicle in the lineup thanks to the three rows of seating. It's gone a bit away from the SUV styling to look more like a mega-wagon, and we're okay with that. Additionally, it's packing tons of features and there's a whole heaping of tech-focused options to be checked off. Starting to sound expensive? Well, it's not as bad as you might think actually. CHECK OUT: 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview The Q7 is launching with just one powertrain, a 3.0-liter TFSI. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic...
