Overview
- Audi unveiled the all‑new, third‑generation Q7 as a three‑row SUV that will be sold in Europe initially only with a 3.0‑litre V6 mild‑hybrid diesel offered in two tunes including a 299 PS variant.
- The drivetrain pairs an eight‑speed automatic with quattro all‑wheel drive and a new preloaded limited‑slip centre differential, and the 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system adds up to 24 PS plus an electrically driven turbo compressor.
- European order books are open now, production will take place in Bratislava, Slovakia, and customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in September.
- The cabin centers on a curved twin‑screen MMI digital stage with a passenger display, an app store and an Audi voice assistant that uses generative AI, and the Q7 now offers a six‑seat option with second‑row captain’s chairs for easier third‑row access.
- Audi fitted advanced lighting and safety tech including optional micro‑LED/matrix headlights, third‑generation OLED taillights, ground‑projected indicator arrows, and a new emergency‑assist that steers the car to the road shoulder if the driver is unresponsive, and the staged launch points to petrol and SQ7 variants arriving later for other markets.
