BUYSUMPTUOUSMATERIALS AND scrupulous
assembly mean that no rival can match the
Q7 for quality, while the generous space
and clever seating make it exceptionally
practical. On the road, meanwhile, the Q7
is exceptionally quiet and delivers a ride
that’s as smooth and cosseting as you’ll find
in any limousine, yet it still manages to feel
remarkably compact and agile in a set of bends.
