I have never driven a car more packed with, to use the technical term, stuff. Audi, wont to load its cars with the latest technology, has given the new Q7 pretty much everything, and then some.
Well, except for a diesel or hybrid powerplant. The diesel is delayed by VW's well-known emissions fiasco, while a plug-in hybrid could arrive in a year or two. Volvo offers the latter this year.
But I digress. I thought the Volvo XC90 was packed with features. The new Q7 can be optioned with nearly everything available on the XC90 plus a synthetic suede headliner, rear-wheel steering, massaging front seats, a power-folding third-row seat, 4G LTE connectivity, support for Android Auto and Apply Carplay, night vision, adaptive cruise control that anticipates curves from nav data, and even a few additional bits of safety tech. Oh, and one feature oddly absent from the Volvo: power tilt and telescope adjustments for the steering wheel.
Both vehicles offer head-up displays (HUDs), around-view camera systems (which make parking these large vehicles much less stressful and even fun), kilowatt-plus fancy brand audio systems with about 20 speakers, heated-and-cooled multi-adjustable front seats (with even more adjustments in the Audi), heated rear seats, and huge panoramic sunroofs. With both vehicles you can customize a surprisingly large number of things by digging through the menus. The typical owner will likely never bother. But they'll sense the possibility is there courtesy of engineers who tried to think of and include everything.

Audi stresses that it hasn't treated the A3 as an entry level model undeserving of leading-edge features. Instead, if you can get a tech feature in the A8, you can probably also get it in the new A3. They're especially proud of their infotainment offerings, replete with a nav system that integrates Google Maps and even Google Street View, so you can see the building you're looking for. Other options include LED headlights, all-speed adaptive cruise control, a Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled by the first automotive application of high-speed 4G LTE connectivity (via AT&T), and a 705-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system capable of thumping out the powerful bass desired by many younger car buyers.
Some of you will be happy to know that not only does the new A3 have a display screen that looks like it restracts into the top of the instrument panel, but unlike the screens in the CLA and the BMW 3-Series the one in the Audi actually retracts.
The CLA counters with memory seats, self-parking, and a drowsiness monitor. But, unlike in the A3, you'll have to take the key out of your pocket to start the car--the sort of proximity key standard on many Nissans isn't available.
You can't get a manual transmission in either car.
