Quick Answer: The 2026 Audi Q7 at a Glance
The Q7 is Audi's three-row flagship SUV, and for 2026 it comes in three trims: Premium from $62,000 MSRP, Premium Plus from $65,800, and Prestige at the top of the ladder, each before a $1,395 destination charge. Two engines split the lineup: a 261-hp turbo four (badged 45 TFSI) on the first two trims, and a 335-hp turbocharged V6 (55 TFSI) available across the board and required on Prestige. Seven seats, standard quattro all-wheel drive, and a 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick award come with every one. This is also the finale for the current generation, an all-new Q7 arrives as a 2027, which makes this the last chance to buy the proven version, at prices that start well below where the next one will. Audi Queens stocks all three trims on College Point Blvd in Flushing.
Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: $63,570 all in for the four-cylinder Q7 Premium. That total includes the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee) on top of a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $62,000; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment.
The family flagship, sized for the borough
A three-row SUV in Queens has to do contradictory things. It needs genuine room for seven on a Sunday drive to Jones Beach, yet it can't feel like a school bus when the destination is a tight garage under an apartment building in Rego Park. The Q7 threads that needle better than most of its class: three real rows and up to 68.1 cubic feet of cargo with the back two folded, wrapped in a body that still reads as a luxury car rather than a truck. The third row folds and rises at the push of a button, the tailgate opens hands-free when your arms are full of groceries from the H Mart run, and quattro all-wheel drive is standard, not an option box, on every trim.
The cabin is where Audi separates itself. Every 2026 Q7, including the base Premium, carries a 10.1-inch upper touchscreen, an 8.6-inch lower screen for climate, and the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit plus instrument display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connecting the moment you sit down. Leather upholstery and heated, eight-way power front seats are likewise standard. Audi Queens, the borough's own Audi store at 30-35 College Point Blvd in Flushing, keeps the range on its showroom floor, an indoor floor, with valet parking while you browse, a detail its customers mention unprompted.
Two engines, one decision that actually matters
Before you pick a trim, pick a number: 45 or 55. The Q7 45 TFSI pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four with 261 horsepower, reaches 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, and returns EPA estimates of 20 city / 26 highway. The Q7 55 TFSI swaps in a 3.0-liter turbo V6, 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft, drops the sprint to 5.5 seconds, and rates 18/23. Both use a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and an eight-speed automatic, both drink premium fuel, and both tow: 4,400 pounds for the four, a class-leading 7,700 for the V6, which covers a boat trailer coming home from a City Island marina. The four-cylinder is offered on Premium and Premium Plus; the Prestige is V6 territory only.

What Q7 buyers tell Google about this store
Three rows, seven seats, standard.
Audi Queens carries a 4.5-star average across more than 1,250 Google reviews, and Q7 stories run through them going back years. A buyer this past winter wrote, "I had an excellent experience purchasing a Q7 from Audi Queens. JT assisted me with the sale and was absolutely fantastic — professional, knowledgeable, and friendly" (Ubaid T.). Another recent purchaser chose the store "because they gave transparency that other car dealerships may lack" (Leon S.). A third put it simply: "Everyone I met at this dealership was very friendly and helpful... I'm very satisfied with the new Q7 that I've purchased" (Yana Y.). One customer even called the Q7 "my dream car" and credited brand specialist Patricia Tirado, whose "professionalism, expertise, and genuine warmth made the entire experience unforgettable" (Joseph P.).
The thread tying these together isn't the car, Audi built that. It's that buyers name their specialist, praise the number holding steady from quote to signing, and come back. For a purchase this size, that's the reassurance a spec sheet can't give.
Living with it in New York
Every 2026 Q7 includes Audi Signature Care, complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 30,000 miles, layered on the 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. The Q7 service & repair guide maps the 10,000-mile service rhythm and what Queens driving, short trips, potholes, stop-and-go on the Grand Central, does to a 5,000-pound luxury SUV. The money side, MSRPs, the 8.875% city sales tax, and how New York leases actually work, lives in the Q7 pricing & leasing guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 2026 Audi Q7 redesigned?
No. The 2026 model is the final, most polished year of the current generation, updated with a standard adaptive air suspension on Premium Plus, new Vision and Sport plus packages, and an improved Bang & Olufsen system. The fully redesigned model arrives as a 2027, so a 2026 buyer gets proven engineering at pre-redesign pricing.
Is there a new Q7 coming out?
Yes, an all-new third-generation Q7 goes on sale as a 2027 model. It moves to V6-only power and is expected to start thousands of dollars higher than today's $62,000 opening price. If you prefer a known quantity, or the last of a generation that has had a decade of refinement, the 2026 is the one to buy, and current Q7 inventory in Flushing is posted live.
Is the 2026 Audi Q7 a good car?
By the measures that matter for a family hauler, yes: a 2026 IIHS Top Safety Pick award, a five-star NHTSA overall rating, one of the best tow ratings in the class at 7,700 pounds with the V6, and an interior reviewers consistently rank among the segment's finest. Its honest weaknesses are a tight third row for adults and premium-fuel appetite, both worth testing against your own family before deciding.
What is the difference between the 2025 and 2026 Audi Q7?
Prices rose, $1,500 on the base trim, and equipment moved with them: the adaptive air suspension that used to be reserved for the top of the range is now standard on Premium Plus, the Prestige gained OLED taillights and all-wheel steering, and two new packages (Vision, with HD Matrix LED headlights and night vision assist, and Sport plus on the V6) joined the order sheet. Audi also added Signature Care complimentary maintenance to every 2026.
Is the Q8 bigger than the Q7?
No, the Q7 is the bigger family car. The Q8 is a lower, coupe-styled two-row on the same platform; the Q7 carries the third row, more cargo space, and the lower starting price. If you regularly carry more than four people, the Q7 is the one you want, and the dealership's own Q5 vs. Q7 comparison covers the downsize question too.
Which 2026 Q7 should I stay away from?
There's no bad trim in the 2026 lineup, the honest advice is about matching, not avoiding. Skip the four-cylinder if you'll regularly load all seven seats or tow anything substantial; skip the option-heavy builds if the budget is tight, because the base Premium already carries the full screen suite and driver assistance. Shoppers wary of used examples with murky histories can lean on Certified pre-owned Q7s, which are inspected and warrantied by the factory.
Three rows, one visit

Trim guides tell you what the equipment is; only a drive tells you whether the four-cylinder is enough or whether the V6's effortlessness is worth its premium. The Flushing showroom, minutes off the Whitestone Expressway, makes back-to-back drives easy, and the team works in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and more. Arrange a visit, bring the family, and fold the third row yourself.
