Audi SQ7 7seater — Milan

Seven seats, 507 horsepower from a twin-turbo V8, and enough road presence to clear the valet lane at any Porta Nuova address. The 2023 Audi SQ7 is the rare performance SUV that also happens to be a practical choice for groups — three full rows of adult-friendly seating, a refined cabin hush on the autostrada, and adaptive air suspension that absorbs the uneven surfaces of lakeside roads north of Como without complaint. This is the car you book when a weekend itinerary involves Malpensa collection, a client dinner in Brera, a morning run through Franciacorta's vineyard roads, and a return via Bergamo Alta — all with five or six passengers who expect comfort, not compromise. The SQ7's quattro system and torque-vectoring rear differential keep the weight composed through the hairpins on SP583 toward Bellagio, while the 48-volt mild-hybrid drivetrain adds a layer of refinement during low-speed manoeuvring through Area C. One variant is available in the Milan fleet, starting from €320 per day. If your plans extend beyond Lombardy — the Dolomites approach via the A22 or a continuation toward St. Moritz — discuss cross-border terms at the time of booking so documentation is arranged before handover. Delivery can be coordinated to hotels, residences, or either Milan airport; specify Malpensa or Linate to avoid any confusion on timing. For families combining a business stay with a few days on the lakes, or for corporate hosts moving a small group between venues during Salone del Mobile week, the SQ7 removes the need for multiple vehicles. It seats seven without resorting to a minivan silhouette, and it parks in standard underground garages where a full-size luxury sedan would. That practicality, paired with genuine performance credentials, is what sets it apart in the fleet.
