Hi everyone, the 2017 Q7 I test drove had the standard 19" wheels. Although Q7's turning radius is big, I feel it is not too hard to park in a regular parking space (I tested the parking in Walmart's parking lot).

The Q7 I put down my deposit on has a 20" wheels (scheduled to arrive in March), and I am wondering how the bigger wheels may affect Q7's turning radius and its ability to park in a tight space.

Any comment is appreciated!

I would doubt that there's any significant affect to turning radius between the two setups. I have no personal experience to backup that statement, but there's very little difference between the rolling diameter of the two, since the aspect ratio is increased on the decreased wheel size (thus allowing the speedometer to retain a reasonable amount of accuracy).

The big difference is getting it with the adaptive chassis. The turning radius is reduced to less than the A4.

Thanks!

My concern is that when I bought my old Volvo S60 back in 2002, it had upgraded 19" wheels with tires that had very wide width (from the standard 18"), and the turning radius was horrible that I had hard times trying to park in tight parking lots.

Adaptive chassis so worth it

I'll second your comment - with adaptive chassis, the tighter turning radius is absolutely insane!

I agree. I also love how low it sits in dynamic mode with the adaptive chassis

O keep waiting for it to drop to the last bar but it never seems to do so

Me too. Lol
