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 |

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 |

The rear seats are a little snug, but bareable. However, if someone is pretty tall they might bump their head on the ceiling. see full Cadillac CTS review |

Seats were horrible. Could not find a comfortable position plus the center console along with the key fob hanging from the ignition contacted my leg. My 06 Grand Prix was much more comfortable. see full Cadillac CTS review |

Shorter wheelbase can lead to things being a little cramped in the rear. Also, no rear-seat vents for AC/heater! For shame, Cadillac... Audi figured this out long ago. see full Cadillac CTS review |
