For Great 3.0 TDI engine combines with some desirable additional premium equipment including leather upholstery, heated seats and ambient cabin lighting.

Against Not really worth the premium over the standard 3.0 TDI. If you’re spending extra you might as well go the whole way and choose the S Line

3 out of 5 stars

SE adds leather and electrics to the seats over the specification of the standard 3.0 TDI. Haggle hard to get one for the price of the standard car.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

If you have your heart set on a 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, that is.

Then there's your choice of engine. We'd recommend the 3.0 TDI because it provides enough power and the most 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 Q7. SE cars are a little posher and S line a little sportier, but the standard car comes with everything you really need.
