## Highlights

- 500bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 770Nm
- 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds
- Seven seats as standard, third row folds flat
- quattro all-wheel drive, 8-speed tiptronic automatic
- Adaptive air suspension with a raised setting for rough ground

## How many people does the Audi SQ7 seat?

Seven, as standard. The third row folds flat into the floor and is usable by adults on shorter journeys. With all seven seats up the boot is small; fold the rear pair away and it becomes one of the larger load areas in the class. For five people plus luggage it is close to ideal.

## What is the SQ7 like to drive?

Quicker than a 2.3-tonne SUV has any right to be. The twin-turbo V8 produces 770Nm from low revs, so overtaking is effortless rather than dramatic, and the eight-speed gearbox shifts without fuss. Air suspension keeps body roll in check on a fast A-road. It is quick in a calm, unbothered way.

## What does it cost to hire an SQ7?

Expect a refundable deposit near £3,000 and a matching insurance excess. Mileage is 12,000 miles a year with about £1.50 a mile after that. Everything is confirmed in writing before you commit.

## Is the SQ7 a good choice for a long family trip?

It is one of the better ones. Seven seats, a long-legged V8, air suspension and a quiet cabin cover most of what a long trip asks for. Fuel is the obvious running cost — expect low twenties to the gallon driven gently, and rather less if you use the engine.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the Audi SQ7 tow?

It is rated to tow, but towing is not permitted on a hire without prior written agreement and the correct insurance in place. Ask before you book and we will tell you what a partner can accommodate.

### How old do I need to be to hire an SQ7?

Partners typically want drivers aged 25 or over, with at least five years on a full licence and no more than six penalty points. Younger drivers are occasionally possible against a larger deposit, but it is not the norm.

### Is the SQ7 petrol or diesel?

The car we source is the petrol V8, making 500bhp with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. A diesel SQ7 was sold earlier in the model's life; if that is what you need, say so and we will check availability separately.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
