The Audi Q7 is a big, powerful SUV so it'd be foolish to expect it to be wallet friendly - even the 204bhp 3.0-litre diesel (the least powerful engine in the range) isn't particularly economical
As a perk, the TDI has much better torque and significantly better MPG and off the line performance vs the gas engines, and you really cannot tell it's a diesel from inside the car; very quiet and no smoke or stink. I just picked up a 2015 TDI Prestige S-Line and drove it back 1000 miles taking the mountain roads for fun.
Depreciation is the decrease in the vehicle’s value due to age and use. Let’s take that same $50,000 car from the example above. Let’s say you’re going to lease it for three years, and over those three years, it’s going to depreciate by $20,000. That $20,000 is the amount you effectively borrows from a lender when you lease a car.
The core Audi Q7 range now starts at $109,100 before on-road costs for the entry-level Q7 45 TDI quattro, and extends to $128,300 before on-road costs for both the Q7 55 TFSI S line quattro and Q7 50 TDI S line quattro.

Audi claims the Q7 TFSI e can go 29 miles on its electric power alone, emitting just 60g/km of CO2 and returning a theoretical 104.6mpg. With a 17.9kWh battery and a maximum charging rate of 7.4kW on an AC connection, you’ll be looking at 2.5 hours to recharge the battery on a wallbox or around eight hours on a domestic three-pin socket.
Down the side of the lower doors the s line has painted mouldings whereas the SE has bare plastic. The rear bumper on the s line has a different rear balance too. interior wise you might find the s line may have better levels of kit unless additional premium packages were added to an se.
