Is it possible to fit a full size spare tire underneath the rear compartment?

I am looking at the 4.2 Premium Package. Or is it an entirely different configuration. I don't feel quite as confident with the inflatable spare tire.

Google and the Q7 archives show mixed thoughts.

I don't believe you can

I used the little compressor this weekend to inflate a kiddie pool (my dumb friend didn't have a compressor) and looking in there tells me no way on the full size spare.

As an aside did you know the battery was under the driver's seat? I was searching everywhere and finally had to resort to looking the manual. There are posts under the hood for jumping (or using the little compressor).

i think it depends on package and..

possibly location too.
The reservoir for adaptive air is in the well too so probably eliminates full tyre.
Not available with S-Line either.

IIRC it is available as an extra with standard 5 seater and 18" wheels EU. So you probably have seen it advertised somewhere but cant get it!

yep - the batt is under the driver's seat. i asked that question a while ago at the audi streets of

tomorrow, and the techs actually had to ask to find out.

i also asked the guy with me, "how many sheets of plywood do you think you can fit back there", and my wife kinda glared at me...
