What’s Behind the Price Increase?
Audi has given its mid-size Q7 SUV a major overhaul for 2027, with new styling, updated powertrains, and the latest technologies. The price increase reflects these changes, as well as the Q7’s positioning in the market.
The Q7 is slightly larger than its German competitors, the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, offering three rows of seats to their standard two rows. This makes the Q7 the most expensive of the bunch, but not by a wide margin.
How Does the Q7 Compare to Its Competitors?
The 2027 BMW X5 has a starting price of $69,800, $1,100 cheaper than the Q7. The Mercedes-Benz GLE, which hasn’t been fully updated for 2027, has a starting price of $62,250 for the 2026 model year.
However, the GLE’s price is for the base model with a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid engine. The 375-hp GLE 450 with the turbo 3.0-liter I6 hybrid costs more than the BMW or Audi, at $72,250.
What’s New in the 2027 Q7?
The Q7 comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine, producing 429 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. This engine allows the SUV to sprint from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds, 0.7 seconds quicker than before.
The SQ7, on the other hand, comes with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, producing 591 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. This engine allows the SUV to hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement.
