It is well crafted, though, and a superior long-distance road tripper, at least for passengers in the first two rows. Audi Q7 Diesel offers the following pros: Well-crafted interior; Autobahn-bred high-speed stability; available diesel motor. Audi Q7 Diesel drawbacks are: Cramped third-row seat; limited maximum trunk capacity; hefty car weight; no DVD entertainment system available.
