Despite the genteel and agreeable nature of the ‘comfort’ setting, on a twisty back road where one can let loose a little, the ‘dynamic’ option would be most rewarding.

In my books, the Audi’s Q7 is an outstanding SUV within the premium segment. It is a visual masterpiece that’s highly enjoyable to drive; and although I miss the burble of its 4.2-litre DOHC V8, the new supercharged V6 does a commendable job of filling its cylinders. No doubt, the output of the V6 mill is further leveraged by the new 8-speed autobox—and they make a desirable pair.
With its options, my tester tallied in at $77,850. That’s a lot of coin but still considerably less than a Cadillac Escalade, which submits a base MSRP of $86,485 before incentives.
