2017 Audi Q7 Photo Gallery

In the past two decades Audi has designed some beautiful cars. This isn't one of them.

The original Audi Q7 wasn't to everyone's taste, but it had a clear distinctive theme. I liked it.

The latest XC90 manages to be at once very Volvo, clearly an SUV, and attractive.

The latest Audi singleframe grille: even larger, more angular, and with a thick chrome frame.

High and wide console, low instrument panel, brimming with tech. Very Audi.

The ambiance inside the Volvo XC90 is much warmer. A lovely interior.

Any chance you'll need more cargo space than this when you have no passengers? Probably not.

Sneak a peak under the not easily removable cover and you'll find the engine is attractively styled
