2025 Audi Q7

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Q7.

The 2025 Audi Q7 arrives with 13 owner complaints and 2 recalls, with the forward collision avoidance system emerging as the top concern. This model year sits within a complaint history spanning 2007 to 2026, where the 2017 model year recorded a peak of 316 complaints and the 2024 model year a low of just 1.

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 2025 Audi Q7 presents a notably clean federal record compared to earlier years in this generation. While the 2017 model suffered a dramatic spike with 316 complaints and 7 recalls, and 2021 showed elevated activity with 9 recalls, the 2025 sits at just 13 complaints and 2 recalls—itself a significant drop from the 67 complaints recorded in 2021. The target year's top complaint categories (Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Departure, and Back Over Prevention, each at 2 instances) point to ADAS sensor calibration and functionality concerns rather than systemic powertrain or structural defects. Critically, there are zero crash complaints and zero fire complaints on record. With 523 TSBs on file, there is clearly ongoing dealer-level service attention for this model, but the absence of any NHTSA investigations and the minimal complaint volume suggest these are routine software updates and sensor adjustments rather than evidence of widespread failure. The trajectory from 2024 (1 complaint) through 2025 (13 complaints) into early 2026 (0 complaints) indicates this model year is stabilizing within Audi's third-generation Q7 lifecycle. For a prospective buyer, the 2025 Audi Q7 represents a strong candidate within this generation—it inherits the lessons learned from the troubled 2017-2021 period and shows none of the defect patterns that plagued those earlier models.
