Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

If you have your heart set on an Audi Q7, you have plenty of choices to make. Not least the colour – there's a palette of around eight to choose from, but if none of those tickle your fancy, Audi's paint shop will recreate any colour you choose. For a price, naturally.

Then there's your choice of engine. We haven’t driven the entry-level 3.0 TDI with 201bhp, but we love the 242bhp version of the same engine – it provides plenty of power and sensible running costs. The Clean Diesel version is fine if you have a genuine environmental conscience, but if your decision to go green is a financial one, leave it be – it won't save you anything in company car tax. All the other engines are strong, but running costs start to get beyond a joke, especially if you go for a petrol.

Trim-wise, we'd stick with the standard Audi Q7. SE cars are a little posher and S line a little sportier, but the standard car comes with everything you really need.
