The Q7 was Audi's first SUV, a statement of intent when it arrived in 2005. Big, wide and luxurious, it offered three rows of seats, quattro all-wheel drive and a refined cabin to families who had been buying Range Rovers, BMW X5s and Mercedes ML-Class SUVs. The second generation, launched in 2015, slimmed down, sharpened up and became one of the quietest, most comfortable family SUVs on the road, a reputation it has carried through several updates and a long production run.
The Q8 arrived in 2018 as a style-first sibling: two rows, a lower roof, frameless doors and a large octagonal grille that announced it was the flagship. The SQ7 and SQ8 add V8 power, and the RS Q8 is a full-blown super-SUV that has set lap records for the class. The electric Q8 e-tron was a separate model, and it ended production when Audi closed its Brussels factory, leaving the gas-powered Q7 and Q8 to carry on.
Rivals include the BMW X5 and X6, Mercedes GLE, Volvo XC90, Porsche Cayenne, Lincoln Aviator and Genesis GV80. The Q7's third row has always been tight, and the arrival of the larger Q9 changes its role at the top of the lineup. A new generation is expected, and reports link Audi's American production plans to future large SUVs. This page follows the Q7 and Q8 through refreshes, reviews, recalls and the plans for their successors.
Audi's big SUVs: the three-row Q7 family hauler and the coupe-roofed Q8, with SQ and RS Q8 versions that turn a school run into a launch.
