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.

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.

Air suspension query on Q7 sline

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

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.
