2009 Audi Q7 in Torrance, California
The 2009 Q7 is a Bold SUV with Family Values and Loads of Comfort
The new Q7 is a great choice for buyers who want Audi reliability and luxury in a roomy and versatile SUV package. It has plenty of forward thrust and the exterior fits the image. It's refined but buff at the same time. Edmunds comments, "A combination of luxury features, excellent build quality and a smart-looking interior make the 2009 Audi Q7 a solid choice for a five- or seven-passenger luxury crossover SUV."
Of course the 2009 Q7 includes the performance features that Audi is famous for, like Tiptronic automatic transmission. Not only will gear changes take place without any interruption of engine power, but you'll also be able to override the automatic mode by moving the selector into a second shift gate. This allows you to downshift on twisting roads to increase the braking effect of the engine or for a more sporty drive. You'll also benefit from quattro all-wheel drive which helps you stay on the road despite tough road conditions or bad weather. It works be directing power between the wheels precisely when and where it's needed. Other notable performance features include Servotronic steering, and high performance brakes with six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers.
The powerfully built exterior is complimented with front and rear fog lights, electronically adjustable, heated, exterior mirrors with LED turn signals, and privacy glass.
The interior features that bump up the luxury levels in the new Q7 include 12-way adjustable power front seats with leather seating surfaces (the seats electronically adjust fore/aft position, height, lumbar support, and angle of seat cushion and seat back), a four-spoke multifunction leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the
storage package which includes storage map net pockets on the front seat-backs; a storage net in the passenger footwell; a glovebox with an air-conditioned area for drinks; and storage in all four doors. Additionally the Q7 is dripping with advanced technology that will make your drive a little more worthwhile. We're talking about electronic cruise control, Sirius Satellite radio, and rain/Light sensors with a "Coming Home" feature. The rain sensor activates the windshield wipers automatically when rain or other moisture appears on the windshield, and adapts the wiper interval to match the amount of rain. The light sensor measures surrounding light conditions and activates the low-beam headlights at dusk when headlight control is set to "Auto". With the "Coming Home" feature, lights remain on for an extended period when exiting the vehicle and are turned on when approaching and unlocking the vehicle.
The 2009 Q7 shows its family friendly values with numerous safety features that win it praise from reviewers. For instance you'll be protected by a whole armada of airbags that include driver and front passenger advanced dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side thorax airbag supplemental restraints, and sideguard head curtain airbags for all three rows of seats. It comes as little surprise that it received five stars in all areas of government safety crash tests including driver and passenger frontal crash tests, and front seat and rear seat side crash tests. You'll also feel more secure knowing that the Q7 comes with high strength uni-body construction, rear second row three-point safety belts with automatic pretensioning; and height adjustable upper mounts on the outboard positions, rear safety belts with ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor--a ratcheting mechanism for conveniently securing a child seat), and side impact protection. The Q7 has safety features that protect you before, during, and after a crash, such as the crash sensor which, if activated, automatically unlocks doors, switches on interior lights, turns off the engine and fuel pump, and turns on the Hazard warning lights.
