Audi Q7
An exterior that is more powerful and elegant
Audi has stripped away decorative elements across its lineup, and the Q7 and SQ7 (pictured) have been given clean details, giving them an exterior that’s more powerful and elegant.
Audi has given the second-generation Q7 and SQ7, which debuted in 2015, a second facelift following the one in 2019. The new model has been significantly updated, incorporating a powerful design and the latest technology. The exterior features Audi’s new CI, including 2D “Audi rings.” The newly designed front and rear sections emphasize the car’s more powerful character as an SUV.
The new Q7 features a more streamlined form and clean body panels than ever before. The base model has a teardrop-shaped front grille, while the “S line” grade and the “SQ7” have an L-shaped design, clearly differentiating the design from the A1 to A8 series. The combination of higher-positioned headlights and newly shaped air intakes gives the front section a completely new impression.
Currently, Audi has stripped away decorative elements across the entire lineup, and the “S line” in particular uses contrasting colors on the front bumper, door attachment trim, and part of the diffuser. This highlights the side air intakes on the front bumper and emphasizes the powerful design of the SUV. A wide variety of eight exterior colors are available.
The Q7 comes standard with Matrix LED headlights with dynamic turn indicators and LED rear combination lights with dynamic turn indicators. HD Matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light are also available as an option. The SQ7 comes standard with the HD Matrix LED headlights.
Models equipped with the HD Matrix LED headlights now feature a new digital daytime running light signature, allowing customers to select one of four light signatures via the MMI to create a distinctive exterior look that reflects their individuality.
A 3-row, 7-seater vehicle suitable for a variety of uses
The second row seats have a sliding and reclining function, and the third row seats have an electric folding function, allowing you to freely choose the seat arrangement to suit your needs.
The interior is characterized by spaciousness reminiscent of first-class passengers. The electrically retractable three-row, seven-seater configuration makes it suitable for a variety of uses. Both the front and rear seats offer ample interior length, headroom, and kneeroom, creating a luxurious interior and a bright, spacious atmosphere.
The second-row seats can slide forward and backward, and the angle of the backrest can be adjusted individually, while both the left and right third-row seats have an electric folding function. By storing each seat separately under the floor, a large luggage space appears. Even though it is the third row, there is ample space for adult passengers. The second and third rows are equipped with ISOFIX mounting devices, and up to five child seats can be installed in combination with the second-row seats.
The Q7 comes in diesel and gasoline versions.
The Q7 lineup includes a 3.0-liter V6 “50 TDI” direct-injection diesel engine and a 3.0-liter V6 “55 TFSI” direct-injection gasoline engine.
The Q7 is available with a 3.0-liter V6 “50 TDI” direct-injection diesel engine that produces 272 PS and 600 Nm of torque, and a 3.0-liter V6 “55 TFSI” direct-injection gasoline engine that produces 340 PS and 500 Nm of torque. All engines are equipped with an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and quattro full-time all-wheel drive, and the “55 TFSI” is equipped with a mild hybrid system that uses a 48V system, lithium-ion battery, and belt alternator starter (BAS).
All-wheel steering is available as an option on the Q7 and as standard on the SQ7. With all-wheel steering, the turning radius is increased to 5.3m, significantly improving maneuverability on narrow roads. In addition, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels when driving at high speeds, significantly improving comfort and stability when changing lanes. In addition, all-wheel steering has now become a standalone option, making it an even easier choice.
The performance specification “SQ7” delivers 507 PS
The performance model “SQ7” features a special exterior and is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 direct-injection gasoline engine that produces a maximum output of 507 PS and a maximum torque of 770 Nm.
The performance-spec SQ7 is equipped with a redesigned S-model-exclusive front spoiler, an aggressive rear diffuser, and quad tailpipes. The single-frame grille features a sporty L-shaped inlay, and the large air intakes are fitted with honeycomb grilles. The door mirror housings, single-frame inlays, the edges of the side air intakes, and the inlays on the side skirts are finished in a sporty aluminum look, enhancing their presence.
The power unit is a 4.0-liter V8 “TFSI” direct-injection gasoline engine that produces a maximum output of 507 PS and a maximum torque of 770 Nm. It is combined with an 8-speed Tiptronic (AT) and a “quattro” full-time four-wheel drive system, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.
The SQ7’s exclusive Advanced Suspension Package includes a rear sport differential and an active stabilizer that significantly reduces roll angle when cornering. 21-inch wheels and 285/40 tires are standard equipment. The front black brake calipers feature an “S” logo to highlight the performance model, and red calipers are also available as an option.
