Audi refreshed its successful Q7 range in mid-2020 with improved dynamics and advanced infotainment connectivity. In the new model there are two mild hybrid TDI drivetrains, available in three model variations: Q7 45 TDI quattro, Q7 50 TDI quattro and Q7 50 TDI quattro S line.
The engines are mated to the smooth-shifting eight-speed tiptronic transmission and the legendary quattro all-wheel drive system.
The new Audi Q7 comes with a robust exterior redesign that includes matrix LED headlights, 19″ inch alloy wheels, revised front bumper and more styling tweaks.
Inside it retains all the luxury, comfort and practicality that you would expect. It’s also a comfortable seven seater, but like similar vehicles the rear most seats are best for occasional use.
State-of-the-art technology includes a 12.3-inch virtual cockpit and two separate screens (10.1-inch touch/haptic screen for infotainment and 8.6-inch screen for vehicle functions).
Priced from just under $102,000 the Audi Q7 sits as a segment leader.
