2023 Audi Q7

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Q7.

The 2023 Audi Q7, with 16 owner complaints and three recalls, has its top trouble area in the service brakes. In the model's complaint history spanning 2007 to 2026, the 2023's 16 complaints fall far below the 2017 peak of 316 and above the 2024's single complaint.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record shows this generation peaked in complaints during the 2017–2018 model years with 316 and 140 complaints respectively, followed by a steep downward trend into the early 2020s. While 2023 is omitted from the year-by-year array, the surrounding context shows 2021 logged 67 complaints and 9 recalls, after which volumes dropped sharply to just 1 complaint by 2024 and 0 by 2026, with recalls declining to between 1 and 3 annually. The 2023-specific data—zero crash and zero fire complaints, and top complaint categories showing only 1 to 2 incidents each—sits squarely within that low-incidence arc. This alignment suggests 2023 carries the same reduced federal complaint and safety-issue profile seen in the immediately following years. Consequently, the 2023 Q7 represents a favorable used purchase within this generation.
