The Q7’s well appointed cabin makes you feel extra special and small upgrades to the well constructed interior allow it to keep pace with the ever-rising standards in this area. Inside, the appearance and finish of the instruments and switchgear has been improved, along with the new interior mood-lighting and the latest version of the MMI infotainment system which comes with a 10GB internal hard-drive. The seats are the most comfy – they feel like armchairs – and the red-and-white lighting on the instrument console, the sculpted steering and the spacious cabin make you feel like you’ve spent money well. Thanks to its length, there’s fantastic space for the front and middle row passengers. It’s got the most usable third row too and if you need boot space, the last row can be folded into the floor to make a flat loading area. It’s the most practical too, with plenty of cubbyholes and thoughtful features like the net in the boot to tie luggage down. Sad then that the middle row can seat only two (there is a seven-seater version though). Also, the massive sunroof unnecessarily soaks up heat because its transluscent shade acts as a greenhouse, trapping heat.
