The 2018 Audi Q7 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2018 Audi Q7 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2018 Audi Q7, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Q7
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 11.0 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $57.75 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Q7
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Q7 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Q7 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.25 in fuel.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
