An inspiring luxury SUV.
The 2020 Audi Q7 received a refresh with updated styling both inside and out along with a myriad of technology updates. The Q7 is a popular luxury SUV that provides three rows of seating, regardless of the trim, and is available with two refined turbocharged engine options. The base 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 248 hp while the optional 3.0L (standard on the Prestige trim) produces 329 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The Q7's luxurious interior is finely appointed with premium materials and the newly-styled exterior for 2020 is stately and immediately recognizable as belonging to a premium luxury SUV. While we currently do not have many 2020 Audi Q7s on our lots, we look forward to selling more in the future. If you love the 2020 model, you should also consider prior model years of the Audi Q7 with similar features.

The all-wheel drive Audi Q7 makes you more confident wherever the road takes you.

Both engine options are backed by an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive, making acceleration a smooth and powerful experience.

2020 Audi Q7 shoppers need not seek out a higher trim level to get premium features.

Xenon headlights are also standard to help illuminate even the darkest of nights, as is leather seating to coddle you and your passengers.

5. Loads of space
If moving people is your goal, the 2020 Audi Q7 is ready for the task with three rows of seating for up to seven passengers.
