2008 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The middle seat of all the SUVs we looked at, had the most room to move furthest forward or backward to allow far rear seat passengers most accommodation. see full Audi Q7 review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Rear seat legroom is greater than other vehicles I evaluated in this category: Acura MDX, BMW X5, Mercedes ML; seats more plush; more cargo space. see full Audi Q7 review |

Drove 4 straight hours in these seats. They hug in corners and don't leave you butt feeling numb even after long drives. Not many seats out there that are more comfortable (Volvo is one of the makers that comes to mind with better seats) see full Acura TSX review |

The rear seats can be a little tight for people on the tallish side (for me, anything above 5'10"). This can get more complicated with a tall driver/front passenger and tall rear seat occupants. see full Acura TSX review |

The trunk space is adequate, but get a hatchback or wagon (or SUV if you're into that sort of thing) if you're going to regularly carrying anything more than the usual grocery bags, suitcases, golf bags, etc. That said, the 60/40 split fold rear seats will allow for surprisingly longish items to fit (managed a 6 foot ladder, barely). see full Acura TSX review |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The rear seats are fairly comfortable, but they only provide about 34" of legroom, and there is very little clearance below the seats. see full Acura TSX review |

If the front seats are pushed back, not a lot of foot room in back see full Acura TSX review |

There could have been a bit more rear leg space - althoug, the seats are pretty comfortable. see full Acura TSX review |
