Audi has officially revealed the next-generation Q7, further refining its flagship premium SUV with a blend of luxury, advanced technology, practicality, and the legendary quattro all-wheel-drive capability that has defined the model since its introduction in 2005.

“For more than 20 years, the Audi Q7 has represented the perfect premium SUV. With its new generation, we are carrying this mission forward. It combines a sporty, powerful design with a highly versatile interior, first-class materials, and a wide range of technologies,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner.

The new Audi Q7 arrives with a bold and commanding presence. The redesign maintains the SUV’s premium character while introducing a more modern and sophisticated appearance. Optional Digital Matrix LED headlights utilise advanced micro-LED technology capable of projecting high-resolution light patterns directly onto the road. This innovation enables highly adaptive illumination and enhanced driver-assistance functionality.

At the rear, Audi introduces third-generation digital OLED taillights with communication lighting and active digital light signatures. Owners can choose from up to eight unique light signatures, while the enhanced OLED technology delivers striking three-dimensional visual effects. A particularly innovative feature is the door projection light, which illuminates the ground with Audi’s distinctive rhombus pattern when occupants enter or exit the vehicle.

Inside, the Q7 continues to impress with exceptional comfort and versatility. Standard models feature a spacious five-seat configuration, while buyers can opt for a luxurious six-seat layout that includes two individual captain’s chairs in the second row and two seats in the third row. For families, Audi also retains the popular seven-seat arrangement, capable of accommodating up to three child seats.

Under the bonnet, Audi launches the new Q7 with two versions of a refined 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. Outputs include 180kW and 500Nm of torque, while the more powerful variant delivers 220kW and 630Nm. Both powertrains feature Audi’s latest MHEV Plus mild-hybrid technology, incorporating a next-generation powertrain generator capable of providing an additional 18kW of electrical assistance.

Production of the new Audi Q7 will continue at Audi’s Bratislava facility in Slovakia, where previous generations have also been built. It will be available to order in Germany from June 2026, with customer deliveries beginning in September.
