Comparison: Boot space Audi Q7 vs. competitors 2025

Audi Q7 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Over the years, the Audi Q7 has been indulging in a bit of yo-yo dieting in terms of boot capacity. The first generation, known as the Q7 4L (2006-2009), started with a respectable 775 liters. The mid-life facelift maintained this generous offering, while the more current Q7 4M (from 2015-2019), decided it hadn't had enough pie and bumped the figure to an even larger 890 liters. However, the facelifted version of the 4M, spanning from 2019-2023, cinched in its belt slightly to 865 liters. Despite this minor shrinkage, when it comes to swallowing luggage, the Q7 remains a veritable blue whale amongst minnows.

The boot space compared to other Audi models

Now, when we peek at the rest of the Audi lineup, it's clear that the Q7 isn't just a one-trick pony but also the Shaquille O'Neal of Audi's boot space league. Take the Audi A3 Sportback, a sprightly little hatchback with a modest 380 liters, or the A1 Sportback with a boot barely scraping 335 liters. Even the strapping Audi Q8 e-tron, which follows behind the Q7, offers 569 liters of space—a sizeable figure, no doubt, but still lagging in the Q7's shadow. It's as if the Q7 went to all the boot space parties and didn't stop devouring space until all its siblings were left with the crumbs.

But what about the competition beyond the four rings? The Audi Q7 rubs shoulders with some pretty sizable foes, such as the Cadillac XT5, which boasts a cargo hold that could probably fit an entire Cadillac XT5 inside it with 850 liters. On the penalty kick, the Genesis GV70, which offers a boot more appropriate for grocery runs than grand tours at 542 liters. Yet, the Q7 still holds its own, with its boot capacity and luxury presence, it boldly encroaches the territory of these formidable rivals.
