Audi India has introduced the updated Q7 SUV in two variants – Premium Plus and Technology – at introductory prices of Rs 88.66 lakh and Rs 97.81 lakh, respectively. All mentioned prices are ex-showroom. Bookings for the facelifted version are already underway nationwide. The new Audi Q7 facelift continues to compete against the Mercedes GLE, BMW X5, and Volvo XC90. Let’s take a look at what has changed in the new Audi Q7 facelift.
Design Changes Explained
Most of the updates made to the Q7 are cosmetic. The SUV receives a newly designed grille with a hexagonal pattern and a thicker chrome surround, and new Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic turn indicators as seen in the Q6 e-tron. The front and rear bumpers have also been revised. The new Q7 is being offered in five colour schemes – Waitomo Blue, Glacier White, Sakhir Gold, Mythos Black, and Samurai Grey.
Minimal Upgrade Inside
Minimal changes have been made inside the cabin. The new Q7 has an updated Virtual Cockpit along with the upgraded infotainment system and instrument cluster. The dashboard design remains unchanged. It also features a lane change warning system, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and a panoramic glass sunroof. You get two upholstery colour options with the new Q7 – Saiga Beige and Cedar Brown.
