Does the Audi Q7 qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Audi Q7 is built and what it means for your loan interest.

FAIL — assembled outside the USA
The Audi Q7 does not qualify on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Audi Q7 is assembled in Bratislava, Slovakia, alongside the Q8, and imported to the US. It fails the OBBBA final-assembly test, and Audi currently has no US vehicle assembly plant at all.
Where the Audi Q7 is assembled
The Audi Q7 is imported for the US market — its final assembly point is outside the United States, so it fails the assembly test regardless of the brand.
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly result is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Audi Q7 assembled?
In Bratislava, Slovakia. It is imported to the US, so the Q7 does not meet the final-assembly-in-America requirement.
Does Audi build any vehicles in the United States?
No. Audi's North American assembly is in San José Chiapa, Mexico, and its other plants are in Europe and Asia. No current Audi passes the US assembly test.
Does the SQ7 qualify?
No. The SQ7 shares the Bratislava line with the Q7 and Q8, so it fails the US final-assembly test too.
