A buyer's checks

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 16 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and seats; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

The powertrain here 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. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 33 litres, from its 11.0 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $57.75 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

When the Q7 makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

Space, size and seats

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Q7 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the Q7 tells you more than any review.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.

Money matters

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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.50 at our price setting.
