In January, Audi revealed some changes to the Q7 SUV for the European market. This is the second time they’ve updated this generation of the Q7, which first came out in 2015. The changes are mostly about how it looks and a few small improvements in technology. Audi wants to keep the Q7 fresh until they release more electric cars. Now, the U.S. branch has given us details about the update for our market, including the prices for the 2025 Q7.
Here are the prices for the different versions of the Q7, after adding the $1,195 destination charge, and how they’ve changed compared to last year:
– Q7 45: $61,695 (up $1,000)
– Q7 55: $66,995 ($500)
– SQ7: $91,995 ($195)
The Q7 45 has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Q7 55 has a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with 335 hp and 369 lb-ft. The SQ7 has a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with 500 hp and 568 lb-ft. All versions come with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Audi made some changes to the outside of the Q7 to give it a simpler look. They got rid of some of the shiny aluminum trim and made more parts of the exterior match the color of the car. They also changed the headlights so that the daytime running lights are on top. The headlights are now Matrix LED, and you can upgrade to HD Matrix LED with Audi Laser Light. This option lets you choose from four different styles of daytime running lights using the MMI system. Every version of the Q7 also comes with an adaptive air suspension.
Inside, there are some new choices for the materials used. They’ve added three new trims, depending on which version of the Q7 you get. They’ve also made some improvements to the Virtual Cockpit, which is the screen behind the steering wheel. Now, it can show you different types of vehicles on the road and give you other safety warnings. The MMI system now works with apps like Amazon Music and Spotify.
You can also choose from three new colors for the outside of the car, and there are five new designs for the wheels, ranging from 20 inches to 22 inches.
Audi says they’ve made some small changes to how the Q7 drives. The four-wheel-steering system has been improved, and the SQ7 can now be equipped with a torque-vectoring rear differential and active roll stabilization if you get the S Sport Package.
The regular Q7 and the SQ7 are available at dealerships now.
