Performance on the 2021 Audi SQ7
If you have been a fan of the previous year’s SQ7, then get ready to be wowed with the 2021 model. The 2021 Audi SQ7 is sporting a 4.0-liiter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers a nice 500-horespower and 568-lb-ft of torque and features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Channeling that power to all four wheels is an eight-speed automatic transmission, which helps the heavy SQ7 sprint to 60 mph in only 4.3 seconds and reach a top speed limited to 155 mph. Additionally, when equipped with the optional towing package, the SQ7 has an excellent maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs.
While the SQ7 may be capable of keeping up with many sports cars, it's still a seven-seater SUV that needs to remain comfortable and composed for a family. When the 2021 Audi SQ7 is in Comfort mode, this is a refined and well-mannered cruiser with top-notch noise suppression. Using the 2021 Audi SQ&’s drive select system, it's possible to choose from multiple driving modes, including Individual, which allows greater control over steering, throttle and transmission responses.

Interior, trunk and cargo space on the 2020 Audi SQ7
The 2021 Audi SQ7 gets the latest version of the Q7 interior layout with the high-tech dual-screen infotainment system that first appeared in last year’s models. The color screens look remarkable as does Audi's 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Elsewhere in the cabin, occupants are kept comfortable with standard four-zone automatic climate control and smart, Valcona leather seats. Both front seats are heated and power adjustable. Drivers also have access to memory functions and a power tilt and telescoping steering column.
The 2021 Audi SQ7 has plenty of space for all the items that usually accompany a family on a trip away from home. Behind the third row of seats is 14.2 cubic feet, increasing to a much better 35.7 cubes when the third row is folded flat. With both the second and third rows folded, total cargo capacity measures 69.6 cubes. Both trims have a power tailgate and a power-folding, 50/50-split third row. The second-row folds in a 35/30/35 split. In-cabin storage gets the job done with the usual cupholders, a glovebox and a center console tray that is moderately sized.
Technology, infotainment and features on the 2020 Audi SQ7
The 2020 Audi SQ7 changed the way infotainment is displayed, so why would Audi change much of anything in the 2021 SQ7 models? The 2021 SQ7 SUV's cabin is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD display for Audi's virtual cockpit ahead of the driver. It's offered with two visual modes and works as well as it ever has. Moving to the center console, the MMI touch response system comprises a 10.1-inch upper screen and an 8.6-inch lower screen. They offer haptic feedback for improved usability, but the absence of physical knobs will require an adjustment for customers coming from an older model. Both trims have MMI Navigation with natural voice controls, along with HD Radio, SiriusXM with a 90-day all-access trial subscription, Bluetooth connectivity and front/rear USB ports. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are included by default. Audi's base sound system isn't basic at all, with 19 speakers and a 15-channel amplifier. If that's not enough the Prestige trim has access to a 23-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D advanced sound system.
In the cabin, the driver and passengers are treated to amenities like four-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof with a power sunshade, eight-way power-adjustable front seats with heating and a power-adjustable steering column. The power-folding third row of seats takes the strain out of folding this row flat to free up more cargo space. On the safety front, there is Audi pre sense basic, Audi pre sense front and the mandatory rearview camera. Both models also have a garage door opener and wireless charging, but only the Prestige has a head-up display, Audi pre sense 360, active lane assist, power soft-closing doors, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats.
