5 reasons to buy the 2019 Audi Q7
1. Outstanding towing capacity
The aluminum and high-strength steel frame pairs with the Audi Q7's powerful 3.0L six-cylinder engine, combining forces for outstanding towing capacity. When properly equipped, this SUV can tow an estimated 7,700 pounds with the 3.0L engines.
2. Two powerful engine options
You get the choice of two power trains with the 2019 Audi Q7 and you can't go wrong either way. The base model starts with a 2.0L turbocharged engine running at 248 horsepower. The upgraded 3.0L engine generates 329 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, making this Q7 a capable partner for both work and play. The former, a four-cylinder workhorse, provides ample acceleration in this sleek ride. And with six rocking cylinders, the larger engine is supercharged.
3. Elbow (and knee and head) room
The 2019 Audi Q7 provides plenty of cargo space for groceries, DIY projects, plants and flowers, and more. A generous 14.8 cubic feet of space (with all the seats up) surrounds you. When configured for maximum volume, you'll have an eye-popping 69.6 cubic feet of space behind the front row at your disposal. Add the optional roof rack and throw a stand-up paddleboard or canoe on top and you're ready to drive until the map turns blue.
4. Available titanium-black optic package
If you really want to leave an impression, this is the 2019 Audi Q7 you want. The exterior window trim and door is wrapped in black and roof rails in matte black. The 21-inch five-spoke-blade wheels are high-gloss black. Go with the Prestige trim kitted out with the Titanium-black optic package and your Q7 becomes a stealth vehicle.
5. Night vision assistant
The thermal-imaging camera stowed behind the badge on the front of the 2019 Audi Q7 is designed to detect pedestrians and large animals at a range of up to 100 meters. The system finds a pedestrian, for example, and highlights the person in yellow on the display. Whether you're navigating busy city streets or cruising country roads in the dark, this feature offers more confidence on the road.
