The 2007 Audi Q7’s second-row seat is for people you like. It sits a bit low, but offers good thigh support once you get settled. Leg room is good, foot space is generous, and when you order the optional four-zone automatic climate system the rear seat riders get individual controls mounted on the back of the front center console. If you’re toting toddlers, the Q7’s optional manual sun shades are perfect for blocking light that might reach sensitive eyes.

Room for adults in the third-row is scant. If lanky adults occupy the second-row seats, forget about putting anyone much taller than five-feet back there. And if you can con anyone in your sextet to take the rearmost jump seats, make sure they’re limber, because entry and exit constitute a warm-up at the local gym. Once they clamber aboard, they’ll find the third-row seats very low and very flat, but with surprisingly good foot space.
