2023 Audi Q7 vs 2024 Audi Q7
Two adjacent model years of the Audi Q7, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalized by how many were sold.
Side by side: identical recall campaigns (3 each), and 2023 Q7 has fewer recorded owner complaints (0 vs 1). Only 2024 Q7 has NHTSA crash ratings, and both have EPA fuel-economy data.
| Metric | 2023 Audi Q7 | 2024 Audi Q7 |
|---|---|---|
| Recall campaigns | 3 | 3 |
| Owner complaints | 0 | 1 |
| NHTSA investigations | 0 | 0 |
| NHTSA crash rating | Not rated | Rated by NHTSA |
| EPA fuel economy | Available | Available |
Where these two actually differ
Both carry 3 recall campaigns, so recall history does not separate them. A campaign can still cover very different defects on each vehicle — read both records before treating the tie as equivalence.
2024 Audi Q7 has drawn 1 more owner complaint (1 against 0). Complaints are self-reported to NHTSA and scale with how many were sold, so treat the pattern of what owners report as more informative than the total.
Only 2024 Audi Q7 has been crash-tested by NHTSA. The other has no published NCAP result, which is an absence of data rather than a poor one, and means the two cannot be compared on crash performance at all.
EPA fuel-economy figures exist for both, so running costs can be compared on the individual reports.
Counts are raw NHTSA and EPA totals for each model year. They are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle were sold, so a high-volume model will tend to show more of everything — a larger complaint count is not by itself evidence of a worse car. Use the per-vehicle reports for the underlying records.
How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalized by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
