2015 Audi Q7 towing capacity
The 2015 Audi Q7 is published in 6 configurations with a tow rating of 6,600 lb (mid-size SUV / pickup territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2015 Audi Q7 with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 2014
The 2014 Audi Q7 carried a maximum tow rating of 5,500 lb. The 2015 model adds 1,100 lb on top of that — usually a sign the manufacturer added a tow package option, refreshed the powertrain, or revised hitch class certification. See the 2014 Audi Q7 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
