Audi SQ7 data analysis
How Audi SQ7 combined fuel economy varies
Across 7 configurations recorded for the 2020 through 2026 Audi SQ7, combined fuel economy runs from 16 MPG to 17 MPG. The strongest figure belongs to the 2020 Audi SQ7 (Auto (S8), 8 cyl, 4.0 L) at 17 MPG, and the weakest to the 2026 car (Auto (S8), 8 cyl, 4.0 L) at 16 MPG — a spread of 6%. The narrow spread means any year of the Audi SQ7 in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2026
Average combined fuel economy for the 2026 Audi SQ7 is 16 MPG, against 17 MPG for the 2025 car — it fell by 1 MPG. Buyers who care most about this figure should look at the earlier model years in the table above before assuming newest is best.
How to read this Audi SQ7 data
This page lists every 2020 through 2026 Audi SQ7 record we hold for this measurement — 7 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Audi SQ7 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Audi SQ7 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Our Real-World Speed MPG Adjuster re-scales the Audi SQ7 EPA highway result with a quadratic drag term (mpg = hwy ÷ (1 + k·(v² − 60²)/60²), k = 0.55 for trucks, SUVs and vans, 0.42 for cars). Wind, roof racks, and a heavy right foot make it worse, never better.
