The 4 cylinder is likely meant for China where most cars come with smaller engines - because they heavily tax the larger ones.

However - this engine is mis-placed in larger vehicles and is likely to be more unreliable than it already is in those applications.

If I want an SUV - I would not consider an AUDI - I would want a Good Old American Full Frame with a Naturally aspirated V-8. Ford does not offer any so that means GM - probably and Escalade. ANd right now a new one is coming so I would wait a year as well.

This is the most non-premium looking premium SUV on market.

Like this vehicle but have no interest in a premium vehicle with a 4 Cyl.. I'd rather buy a used one w/a 6... this is a really crappy trend..

Indeed.

Personally, I wouldn't want a four-cylinder in...anything. There's very few cars with great four-cylinder engines.

Now for folks that want a premium vehicle, are stretching their budgets and couldn't care less about the cylinder count or NVH, a four is a great option.

Perhaps more standard equipment, but the Q7 has had a 4 cylinder since 2016/2017 ??
