2013 AUDI Q7
This model year
What the record shows
The 2013 Audi Q7 is a full-size four-wheel-drive SUV, and the 8th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2006 to 2027.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 3-litre six-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S8) and running on diesel and premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 18 to 22 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 41 owner complaints, 3 safety recalls and 1,112 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
