2022 Audi SQ7 Can Really Cut a Rug

The hulking three-row SUV from Audi boasts a stonkin' V8 and plenty of room.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Fold all those seats down and you've got room for a Costco run.

But this Audi can get expensive. My tester with all the bells and whistles comes in at $106,390 including $1,095 for destination.
