Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 Q7.
The 2026 Audi Q7 pairs its powertrain with an Automatic (S8) transmission to deliver an EPA-rated 20 city, 26 highway, and 22 combined mpg. Looking at the model's complaint history from 2007 to 2026, the data reveals a drastic downward trend, falling from a peak of 316 complaints in 2017 to a record low of just one in 2024. This trajectory places the 2026 model year at the most reliable point in the vehicle's history, meaning it sits on highly proven ground for researchers evaluating long-term dependability.
