Nice! I'll bet most of those Audis have snow tires on them

Agreed. But still cool. I’m hoping for one big snow storm in the DC area to test out the Q7 with snows. I’m not sure I’d take my RS7 out though.

Great Video.. Sorry (or happy?) to say, I won't get much opportunity to try out the snow too much in Southern California where I live. Most times I will use Quattro options will be in the first rainfall in the winter when the oil bubbles to the surface on the freeways making it slick. We only get 13 inches of rain (zero snow) per year in San Clemente, California Climate

Well we just got couple of inches of snow in DMV area, so not really able to test the Q7 in some deep snow. In the meantime, enjoying the online experiences shared by others.

We ended up getting approx a foot of snow yesterday, and since I have never experienced quattro in a decent amount of snow I had to see what it was like.

OMG what a beast, drove through 6 to 8" of unplowed snow with no issue at all.. A couple of inclines (nothing too crazy) no problem. BTW this was with the OEM A/S Goodyears I can't imagine what it would be capable of with dedicated winter tires.. I really love this truck..

After having traveled through some serious rain downpour and few inches of snow, I'm beginning to appreciate how good the OEM Goodyear tires are.
