TCC’s Bottom Line

Though the 2015 Audi Q7 might show a little of its age, there are so few faults here that it's hard not to love this big SUV.

Not everyone loves the unique look of the MKT, but if it's your style there's plenty to like, including a muscular available turbo V-6, plenty of infotainment tech, and a comfortable, spacious interior.

TCC Likes

Rides and handles like a car
Seating for up to seven
Elegant exterior

Dares to be different

TCC Dislikes

Total cargo a little disappointing in such a large vehicle
Fuel efficiency isn't great in gasoline versions
It's heavy, and feels like it

Wan looks from the back
MyLincoln Touch is complex
Third-row seat not easy to access
