The Q7 boasts a big, airy greenhouse, with thin pillars and oversize outside mirrors that make maneuvering simple. That is, if you’re by yourself and have all the headrests folded. With the headrests up, rearward visibility vanishes, and if you have people or child seats in the third row, you can basically ignore your rear view mirror. Audi’s Side Assist blind spot helper is redundant: Every time it warned us about a vehicle, it was easily visible in the big side mirrors. In front, the hood slopes away quickly for easy parking and off-road maneuvers. When reversing, the MMI screen shows the world behind, along with an on-screen indicator that shows where the car will go as you turn the wheel.
