  1. Eniola Folorunso I absolutely agree - its´a very boring and ultra conservative design compared to the old Q7.

  2. ThuhoanNguyen The old one is a "Bully" car - it´s big and muscular and says better make some space for me, Wether that is a good thing or not is debatable but it has a very clear statement and presence to it. The new one is very reserved and it might be a much better car but certainly does not portray much personality. I like the old better for exterior design no doubt about that. The Old Q7 is a remarkable monster SUV. I do not even like SUV´s much, they are essentially stupid because of how they are used - driving in cities and on the road - Too many materials and weight used that is essentially not needed at all. If you go off road or live in remote areas where weather conditions might be hard then then SUV´s makes good sense or for some types of goods transportation otherwise they are essentially a virus to the world.

  3. Wonderful interior and what appears to be a great ride, but unfortunately a very boring exterior design.The old Q7 was a bit daring in it´s "I am big" get away design and it had an unmistakable profile, no one would see a Q7 and think it would be some other model - If one wanted a big European SUV the Q7 was on top of that list. This new design is so conservative and anonymous, the way the back slightly bends downwards, the way the wheels look too small, it´s so conform in its main design and it sends no personal signals what so ever. They shaved a lot of weight of it but it looks more heavy contra the old one that looked big and strong. I´m sorry, but for SUV´s both AUDI and BMW designs simply does not rock my boat atm. Mercedes is half and half and the same with Porsche - Range Rovers tops them for exterior design and the Asians make much more dynamic and interesting SUV approaches in the smaller segments. Forcing traditional Design DNA to SUV seams to be a continuous challenge for the established Auto Makers and the influence from the Chinese market seams to bring "anonymous" in front.
