Audi SQ7

The Audi SQ7 hides a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 inside a calm, three-row body. It makes 507 hp and 770 Nm, sends it through quattro all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic, and reaches 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. None of that announces itself until you ask for it. For most of the day it is a quiet, composed seven-seater that happens to have a deep V8 note waiting underneath.

This is the car for the family that wants supercar pace without giving up space. Adaptive air suspension keeps it flat on a fast run down Sheikh Zayed Road and soft enough for the speed bumps around Palm Jumeirah and Business Bay. There is room for child seats, golf bags, and a full airport run, and the cabin stays cool and hushed in the worst of the summer. Renting one for a few weeks of visitors or a long Dubai stay makes far more sense than owning a car this thirsty year round.

It suits the parent who still enjoys driving, the visiting family that needs seven real seats, and anyone who wants presence without shouting for it. Take it out to Hatta for a weekend, load it for a day at JBR, or keep it parked under a tower in DIFC during the week. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
