An impressive collection of premium features and a sharp interior design make the 2008 Audi Q7 a solid choice for those who desire a seven-passenger luxury crossover SUV. Be advised, however, that several competitors are quicker and more practical for transporting kids.

• Pros

Sport-oriented handling on air-suspension-equipped models, high-tech luxury and safety features, superior interior design and craftsmanship.

• What's New for 2008

The 2008 Audi Q7 is unchanged save for some feature and trim level updates. The base 3.6, 3.6 Premium and 4.2 Premium trim levels all have extra standard equipment this year (and higher MSRPs to match.) Last year's base 4.2 trim level has been dropped.
