Default Antiroll bars in Q7?

I see that you get air suspension on a prestige line but I have a feeling the air suspension helps makes the ride more softer .It seems like it doesn't do much in preventing the roll in the corners.Why doesn't Audi have a Anti roll bar option on its Q7 like they have it on the SQ7.BMW has it at least as an option.

After driving both, I opted for the "steel" suspension, and it wasn't even close. When set to Dynamic on 21" wheels, it drives like a performance sedan. It's actually pretty impressive for such a large vehicle.

With the steel suspension ADS has no effect on the suspension.

Oh ok thanks. Perhaps the anti roll bars will be offered on the refreshed q7 as an option

I find our Prestige with the air suspension & four wheel steering corners better than any suv I've driven. In fact, it corners well suv or not. Try it and see for yourself.

I wonder how the s-line with 20mm lower and stiffer air suspenion works? I ordered it only because I had to with the s-line package.

My prestige with air suspension in dynamic mode handles and corners incredibly well. My 2014 MDX with SHAWD was just about as good and could accelerate out of exit ramps with authority.....I must admit. Too bad the ride quality was bad due to a poorly isolated rear suspension that sounded like a 1952 straight axle pickup when going over bumps. The air suspension gives the best of both worlds in my opinion. Smooth luxurious ride when just cruising in comfort mode and then a sporty, progressive suspension when in dynamic mode.

I didn't realize that the air suspension on the S line was stiffer.
