Hi all, considering getting an SQ7 TFSI, probably 6-12months old.
Does anybody have any real life experience of this car. Just wondering about reliability, build quality and of course how they drive. Will arrange a test drive but haven’t done so yet.
Also I notice that there is an option for a 5 year warranty - is this only available if spaced at purchase?
My reference is an L405 Range Rover 4.4 diesel which is just starting to get a little tired at 9 years old and not sure I feel a new Range Rover justifies the price along with tales of reliability issues I have heard about them. However are the SQ7’s just as problematic?
Lastly is there a noticeable difference between the Black edition and Vorsprung edition?
Thanks in advance

BIL has a new one, I haven't driven it personally but been in it plenty. Sure an owner will be along shortly to tell you about the driving side.

Lovely place to be inside, makes a great noise and goes like stink (quite unbelievably given its size IMO). I think a lot opt for this over competitors due to the 7 seat option.

Audi Warranty can be retrospectively, even if bought private/not a main dealer. 'Audi All-In' is a good package I have with my car. MOT, servicing and warranty for circa £700 for 2 years worth. Your price may be diff (I have an A5 but sure the same package is available for the SQ7).

ETA: The only difference between Black Edition and Vorsprung will be options, will have no bearing on engine or performance.

Missed this thread earlier.

My SQ7 is 8 years old now, hasn't missed a beat. It does have the diesel engine, don't know about the TFSI other than it'll be a lot heaver on fuel (my long term consumption is now 37mpg).

I bought the 5 year warranty from new, though haven't had to use it. I plan on keeping this car for a long time, it's a really good workhorse for shifting the family or large loads around.
