When attempting to crossover a busy intersection, and trying to determine the distance between the oncoming traffic and myself, the 2018 Audi Q7, has a hesitation before the vehicle starts it acceleration. I have had two occasions where the vehicle just would start a slow acceleration but would hesitate before engaging at its higher acceleration. This causing the oncoming vehicles nearly hitting my vehicle. I have taken this to the local Audi dealership and said that is normal. I validated the operation, when they let me test a new Audi Q7, and had similar or worse symptoms. Their only work around is to engage the vehicle into "sport" mode. That mode helps with the response. Basically if, I step on the gas peddle, I should expect it to drive and be responsive and not hesitate. Having that hesitation, make it very difficult to determine when accelerate.
