One of the most striking updates is found up front, where the Q7 displays Audi’s latest interpretation of the signature Singleframe grille. Retaining its imposing presence, the grille boasts a contemporary octagon-themed pattern, encased in a bold surround. Complementing this are redesigned corner vents with a vertical orientation, adding a touch of dynamism to the vehicle’s profile. Optional HD Matrix lights with laser technology elevate the Q7’s lighting game, which now also offers individual customisation options.
Inside, the Q7 receives only a handful of changes, most of which are geared towards tech. Audi now offers the option to choose from nine decorative inlays allowing for personalised customisation. Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the integration of third-party apps, including popular streaming services like Spotify and Amazon Music, seamlessly integrated into the infotainment system.
On the safety front, the 2024 Q7 comes equipped with an array of advanced driver-assist features, including lane-change and distance warnings, displayed prominently in the virtual cockpit. These additions not only enhance safety but also contribute to a more confident and enjoyable driving experience.
Under the hood, the Q7 retains its diverse range of powertrain options, catering to a variety of driving preferences. European customers can opt for the efficiency of a 3.0-litre diesel engine in two configurations or the peppy performance of a turbocharged petrol V6. For those seeking the pinnacle of performance, the SQ7 trim delivers an impressive 500PS from its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100kmph in a claimed 4.1 seconds.
In terms of aesthetics, the 2024 Q7 offers an expanded palette of exterior colours and wheel options. Whether it’s the striking Ascari Blue, the opulent Sakhir Gold, or the bold Chili Red, there’s a hue to suit every taste. As Audi prepares to roll out the 2024 Q7 in Europe, anticipation builds for its arrival on North American shores. Audi could also launch the new Q7 facelift in India around the second half of 2024.
