TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Audi Q7 gets a rakish new sport-wagon look, a finely detailed, tech-savvy interior, and serious chassis advancements underneath—including a dramatic weight loss, available rear-wheel steering, and a plug-in hybrid version.

The 2017 Infiniti QX60 has a rich look and excellent interior space, but it doesn't deliver the driving polish that it should.

TCC Likes

Sportier, more carlike look and feel
Finely detailed cabin
Innovative rear-wheel steering

Elegant styling
Excellent third-row access
Comfortable for a family

TCC Dislikes

Best tech features limited to top trim
Third row not all that usable
Potentially very expensive

Less polished on road than it should be
Infotainment lags rivals
Costly, ineffective hybrid
