Enjoy Your Family Road Trip in the Audi Q7

With everything going on, it feels like summer has been put on hold. Many of us have canceled our vacations to wisely avoid crowds, flights, and risks. However, as we adapt to the current issues we’re all facing, it’s important to stay connected with our family and friends. That’s why the Audi Silver Spring team thinks that this summer is the perfect time for a good ole fashioned road trip. Road trips present opportunities to visit amazing national parks, learn from historical landmarks, and bond with our travel buddies along the way. Things are opening back up and with the right safety precautions, you can enjoy the open road with your loved ones. All you need are snacks, a good playlist, a few points of interest, and the perfect vehicle to get you there. We can’t help you choose the perfect travel buddies, but we can help you select the best vehicle to enjoy the journey. To have the best possible trip, you’ll need to check these things off your list: comfort, fuel economy, safety, and technology. This sounds daunting but the Audi Q7 checks all the boxes.

More Smiles Per Gallon

If you’re going to be covering a lot of miles, you’ll want to make the most out of every gallon. The standard 45 TFSI® engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces both power and efficiency. The stop-start engine system turns off the engine when you come to a stop to conserve fuel. Paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive, the Audi Q7 is just as powerful as it is efficient. 

Room for More Cargo and Comfort

Road trips inherently involve spending long hours in your vehicle, so it’s important to have plenty of comfort and space to stretch out. Standard leather seating surfaces bring a level of luxury and comfort you’ll appreciate for miles to come. Everyone will argue over who gets driving duty thanks to the driver 8-way power seats with lumbar adjustment. The manual adjustable second-row seats also offer custom comfort for hours of riding. Seating for up to seven with easy access to the third row makes it a breeze to load up. Tri-zone automatic climate control makes sure all passengers get to enjoy the most optimal temperature, so there won’t be any arguing over one passenger being too hot and another being too cold. The more people you bring, the more luggage you’ll have, so cargo space is essential. The Q7 provides the space you need and then some.

Protection While You’re on the Road

With a car full of people, it can be hard to focus on the road. Audi has included features to make your drive safer. The parking system plus helps you park in tight spaces, using front and rear acoustic sensors to help you get close, without getting too close. Lane departure warning keeps the Q7 from leaving its lane of travel by mistake by alerting you when you drift. Upgrade to the Premium Plus trim and you’ll enjoy Audi side assist with Audi pre sense® rear, which includes a rear cross-traffic assist and vehicle exit warning. You’ll also get a top view camera system with Virtual 360 view to get a great picture of all your surroundings. On the Prestige trim, Audi active lane assist with Emergency assist and Audi adaptive cruise assist are standard, making long drives less fatiguing.

Stay Connected from Anywhere

No matter where your travels take you, the Audi Q7 has the technology you need to stay in touch and on the route. The Audi virtual cockpit features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster to display all of your vehicle’s most important information right in your line of sight. The MMI® touch response dual center displays measuring 10.1 and 8.6-inches allow you to control the ample convenience and comfort features. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration allow you to access your favorite apps, contacts, playlists, navigation, and more, without taking your eyes off the road. Enjoy the standard 10-speaker sound system or upgrade to the 3D Surround Sound System for concert-level sound.

We’re excited to take advantage of summer and all the excitement that the season brings. Despite all that’s going on right now, we think that it’s more important than ever that we come together and spend valuable time with our loved ones. If you’re ready to load up and explore the open road this summer, contact the Audi Silver Spring sales team. We can help you find the best vehicle to see the country with your family.
