  1. What's old school about the 3.0T motor? That's far better suited to a vehicle like this. I drove the 2018 Audi Q5 with this 2.0T and it's brilliant but the Q5 is far lighter and won't be carrying 7 people plus their baggage. Smaller FI motors are fine but there's a limit.

  2. Except it won't. This is a new generation of the 2.0T but the last generation engine was terrible. It had oil consumption issues, carbon buildup which caused a lot of power and efficiency loss. Audi ended up quoting in the manual that if the engine burns 1 quart per 750 miles that's considered normal. Funny enough no Mercedes engine did that.

  3. Honestly before buying this just get the TDI motor. The internals are strong and the torque output is great for it's size which will push a heavy Q7 with ease. At worst, you need to install a catch can system in the diesels to prevent oil/carbon deposits in the intake and intake valves. Because Audi doesn't sell as many TDI models (in North America at least) dealers will discount them quite a bit and the proven fuel savings will make for the slightly higher price than other models.
