    The Q7, a mainstay of Audi's lineup since 2007, is a three-row large SUV with seating up to 7. Having more than average horsepower for its class, the Q7 packs some oomph. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Audi offers a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic/powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2023 Audi Q7 is very safe compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2023 Audi Q7 has a score of 96, implying a 0.021% chance of driver death (1.9% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Audi Q7 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0207% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 2.3643%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0207% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 2.3643% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Audi Q7 is 56% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2023 Audi Q7 is 49% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. All trims and versions of the 2023 Audi Q7 include the following active safety systems: Active Lane Assist and Audi Side Assist.

    Some safety technologies get a lot of press, but another may also improve safety. Standard side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is safer than many comparable models.
