Audi’s three-row SUVs, the Q7 and SQ7, receive a refresh for the 2025 model year, featuring updated aesthetics and new options. While the Q7 retains its familiar engine lineup, including a four-cylinder and V-6 option, the SQ7 boasts a powerful 500-hp V-8 engine. Audi has now released pricing details for the U.S. market, revealing slight increases in base prices for the Q7 variants and a notable $6500 hike for the SQ7.
Despite nearing a decade since its second-generation debut, the Audi Q7 isn’t due for a complete redesign just yet. Instead, Audi has opted for another facelift, introducing a revamped front-end appearance and subtle interior enhancements. While details regarding the U.S.-specific models are yet to be revealed, the European versions offer an insight into what to expect.
The updated Q7 showcases a redesigned grille, repositioned headlights, and refreshed air intakes, along with new LED signatures for the daytime running lights. Adding to revised taillights with customizable light animations, and several new exterior colors, including Sakhir Gold and Ascari Blue, join the palette.
Inside, buyers can choose from updated upholstery options and a variety of wood and metal trims, complemented by newly designed wheels ranging from 19 to 22 inches.
Technological enhancements include expanded app integrations for popular music streaming services like Spotify and Amazon Music, along with upgraded driver-assistance features providing more comprehensive warnings through the digital gauge cluster. Meanwhile, the performance-oriented SQ7 receives subtle exterior tweaks such as a new front spoiler and rear diffuser, maintaining its understated yet sporty appearance.
Powered by a potent twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, the SQ7 delivers an impressive 500 hp, coupled with upgraded suspension, larger brakes, and an optional torque-vectoring rear differential. With its remarkable acceleration, hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, the new SQ7 promises to uphold its thrilling performance legacy.
