New 2009 Audi Q7

When it comes to the 2009 Audi Q7, there is no need to mess with perfection.  This year's luxury sport-utility vehicle is essentially a carryover from last year's edition.  Audi has good reason to be confident in their company's star car.  Its power, drivability and spacious interior have made it one of the most luxurious and sought-after vehicles on the road.

Options abound, depending on the trim you choose.  The base four-door model contains a 3.6-liter V-6 engine capable of producing 280-horsepower, and gets 14 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway.  This edition seats five people, and comes with leather seats and dual climate control.  The premium version of the 3.6 offers all of the standard features, but with expanded room for seven people and satellite radio.  The ultimate Prestige trim runs on a 4.2-liter V-8 engine, which generates a more commanding 350-horsepower. You'll also get a Bose sound system, cutting edge bi-xenon headlamps and a blind spot detection system.  The extra oomph does come with a cost in terms of fuel economy: the Prestige will get 13 mpg in the city and 15 mpg on the freeway. Add the towing package and haul up to 6,600 pounds.

The Audi Q7 is a premium car, and as such, it comes with premium safety features.  Each of the trims comes with front, side impact and side curtain airbags.  ABS brake keep the car firmly planted on the road.  The Audi Q7 will even keep you safe before you climb inside.  Remote keyless entry (a keyfob), panic alarm and a state-of-the-art theft-deterrent alarm system come standard in every trim. 

There are a ton of ways to make the Q7 even more sumptuous, like a panorama sunroof, rear privacy glass, front and rear fog lights, roof rails, alloy wheels, and a choice of metallic or pearl effect paint.  For those looking for style, grace and refinement from their SUV; check out the 2009 Audi Q7.  Not only does the Q7 embody the refinement of an executive, but also has enough room to haul a kid's soccer team full of future business tycoons.
