Both my Q7s had it and I would never look back. Personally its a great feature for the Q, especially if towing. I just ride in Dynamic all the time except snow.

how do you know if your Q has it?

There is a graphic for it under the "car" menu on the MMI screen, also in the rear on the right hand side there is a small rocker switch used for the rear-dip feature only on Air Suspension equipped Q7s.

Hi Phil 47. I'm picking up my 12 Q7 sline Quattro next week . Unusually it doesn't have the adaptive air suspension . The back roads in my area are pretty poor . Is the lack of air suspension going to mean an extremely harsh ride ?

Thanks
Andrew

Our 11 TDI Prestige does not have air suspension. We have been happy with it's ride and handling for 100 k miles now. You'll be fine.

I have a 2015 Q7 non-air suspension with 20 inch wheels. I have terrible concrete streets in my area and if I were to do it over again, I would have paid extra for the air suspension. I find the steel suspension is too rough on bad roads. I have tried different tires and it doesn't make much of a difference. Interestingly, I have other sportier cars that drive much nicer on the same roads.

When the roads are prestine, the suspension/ride is great.

I had it on my 2008 and now on my 2015 and wouldn't buy without it. In Sport Mode the Q7 becomes a sports car very tight and I always leave it on this setting. Also great for towing. My wife like in standard setting. We had no issues on our 2008 at all.
