Recognized with an annual award for holding the highest rated in the Premium Midsized Utility Vehicle category, the Audi Q7 is predicted to retain an impressive residual value after a three-year ownership period. The ALG Residual Value Awards is assessed through a widespread forecast examining many elements that would contribute to the retention of higher resale value including previous vehicle history and the popularly of a vehicle in the current automotive sales industry to help compute possible product prices in the future.
