Hello, I am a new member from Turkiye. I am in the process of ordering a 3.0 tdi with s line sport pacage(sport suspension 10mm lower inculuded) and s line exterior pacage. Air suspension costs about 7000$ which I dont want to spend. Does anybody have a Q7 with sport suspension? how stiff is the ride? is it bouncy?

with the S-Line suspension and now I've got a Q7 which has air suspension as standard in the UK. I do a lot of driving in Ireland, where the roads are mainly appalling (no offence meant to Irish contributors). I would never go near S-Line suspension again unless I lived in Germany where the roads are top quality. I can't vouch for the Q7 sports set up which would probably be softer than the A6 S-Line which has 18" wheels and 40 series tyres. Unless your roads are really good (unlikely to be better than German) should you not change to the standard spec which is what the Irish importers use? (18" wheels and no air) I know it may not look as good but your back is important.

Omer, go ahead and order with air suspension, s-line has no value on Q7's. You will not regret it. And if you really like s-line appearance, you may order some nice wheels either 20" or 21". When you called me yesterday, I told you that I have air suspension with 20" wheels and I am very happy and satisfied with those.

I am in Ireland where as Ashleey says roads can be pretty rough. The suburbs of Dublin are the worst cos they keep digging them up. It puts me off a little. Also Road rumble off 275s is quite loud. I would really rather a higher profile than 45s. They pinch too easily.
I wanted S-Line as so many Q7s locally (now 8). There are still only 2 Mugello Blue Q7s in Ireland phew ! but now my dealer likes mine so much he is getting one for Demo. I hate that because after 12 weeks he can sell it off discounted by 15% (tax break, so 15000 Euro) so he will probably sell it and let it sit in showroom. My loss.
If you dont have other Q7s to compare then hard to see the S-Line diff. Air is nice and jacks up pretty high if needed.
Dunno if any of this is helpful. You need to test each where you are.
