Q7 Towing Capacity Over the Years
The Audi Q7 is an ever-evolving luxury SUV. That means it always keeps up with the modern needs of drivers like you. The evolution of the vehicle's towing capacity is proof.
| Model Year | Maximum Towing Capacity |
| 2015 | 6,600 pounds |
| 2017-2020 | 7,700 pounds |
| 2021 | 7,700 pounds |
| 2022 | 7,700 pounds |
The 2017 Audi Q7 added an additional 1,100 pounds to its maximum towing capacity, providing more flexibility to bring your favorite travel gear. Since then, Audi has kept the 7,700-pound towing capacity, ensuring you can bring along whatever you might need for the journey.Â
Audi Q7 Performance Specs
Part of the reason the 2022 Audi Q7 has a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds when properly equipped is because of the powerful engine that fuels this luxury SUV.
You'll have the choice between two engines: a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine or an optional 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine. Each one offers unique horsepower, torque, and acceleration abilities. Additionally, the size of the engine alters the towing capacity of this SUV. Let's take a closer look!
| Â | 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder | 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 248 HP | 335 HP |
| Torque | 273 lb-ft | 369 lb-ft |
| Acceleration (0-60 MPH) | 6.9 seconds | 5.7 seconds |
| Towing Capacity | 4,400 pounds | 7,700 pounds |
With the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, you'll have access to impressive power and performance thanks to its turbocharged features. This nimble SUV is perfect for drivers looking to tow lighter objects, like jet skis, a utility trailer with dirt bikes, and more.
If you want to supercharge your commute, the optional 3.0L turbocharged 6-cylinder engine may be the better match for your needs. With its larger size, this engine is able to churn out more everyday power in addition to its extra towing capacity.
Regardless of which engine you choose, your 2022 Audi Q7 comes with an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission for smooth gear shifts. Additionally, quattro® all-wheel drive technology is another standard feature found with both engines.
Thanks to this standard all-wheel drive system, you can take your travels on nearly any terrain while still maintaining proper traction. This is perfect both for rainy days and when traveling on rock, sand, dirt, or other slippery surfaces.
Audi Q7 MPG & Drive Modes
The Audi Q7 has the power to handle towing large equipment and meet your daily driving needs. Another thing the 2022 Q7 has to offer is an impressive fuel economy. Thanks to its 2.0L engine, the Q7 has an EPA-estimated 20 city/25 highway MPG, and with its 22.5-gallon fuel tank, you can travel quite far without having to refuel.*
If you opt for the more powerful 3.0L V6 engine, your fuel economy changes slightly. You'll get an EPA-estimated 18 city/23 highway MPG with this engine.* Like the other Audi Q7 engine, you'll get a 22.5-gallon fuel tank.
Having high fuel efficiency is important, especially when traveling. It lets you travel farther while possibly making fewer stops at the gas station to fill up the tank.
A helpful performance-based feature is the available all-wheel steering system. This feature enhances maneuverability when at low speeds and increases stability when you're driving faster.
The Adaptive air suspension, standard on the Q7 55 TFSI® Prestige trim, provides an even more comfortable drive. It adjusts automatically to optimize comfort and enhance your driving experience. Everyone will remain comfortable whether the road is smooth or gets a bit bumpy.Â
Audi Q7 Interior Dimensions
Since it's an SUV, you can rest assured the 2022 Audi Q7 offers a spacious cabin that includes enough room for cargo when you may not need to tow. Luckily, the Q7 provides three rows of seating that can easily accommodate seven passengers.
2022 Audi Q7 Passenger Dimensions
- Headroom (first/second/third row):Â 39.9/38.8/35.9 inches
- Legroom (first/second/third row):Â 41.7/38.8/29.2 inches
- Shoulder room (first/second/third row):Â 59.5/58.5/49.4 inches
The 2022 Q7 provides ample passenger room, but the standard power panoramic sunroof makes your cabin feel larger than life. This feature offers unobstructed views of the beautiful sky above to first- and second-row passengers.
Beyond the passenger room, the 2021 Q7 also provides plenty of cargo space.
The Audi Q7Â includes 14.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. On days when you need extra room, fold down the third row and turn your Q7 into a 5-passenger SUV. With that configuration, you'll have a 35.7-cubic foot cargo capacity.
Bringing home longer materials that require as much space as possible? Fold down the second and third rows to obtain a maximum cargo capacity of 69.6 cubic feet.
Thanks to the standard power tailgate, loading up the trunk of your 2022 Q7 is easy. This feature provides hands-free opening and closing, which is perfect for those days when your hands are full. Thanks to this feature, you'll no longer have to put your items on the ground to access the cargo area!
Available Audi Accessories
If you need to bring a lot of cargo on a trip and you're at full passenger capacity with seven riders on board, you may need to think outside the box-or rather, outside the cabin. There are some available Audi accessories you may want to consider to help accommodate your cargo needs.
Are you looking to add extra cargo room without hooking up a utility trailer? Adding a Cargo Carrier to your roof rack is just what you need to pack the additional materials you'll store on top of your SUV. The Cargo Carrier is available in several sizes and capacities, so you'll have plenty of options to choose from.
These Cargo Carriers attach to your SUV's standard aluminum roof rails and add anywhere from 33 pounds to 165 pounds of extra cargo.
Other types of accessories offered with the 2022 Audi Q7 include:
- Bike Rack
- Kayak Holder
- Thule® Canyon Basket
- Thule® SUP Taxi
- Basket-Style Cargo Carrier
By adding any of these optional accessories to your 2022 Audi Q7, you can securely and safely bring along all your favorite gear while keeping the passenger space and seating intact for your fellow adventurers.
