Luxury mid-sized SUVs are a cash-milking business, and demand is only growing. Mercedes-Benz offers the GLE, BMW has the X5, and now Audi is poised to recapture interest with an all-new Q7.
As reported by our own Michael Gauthier, the Q7 you see here was initially supposed to be the ‘Q9’, a larger 3-row offering in development. However, reliable sources now indicate this is not the case, with spy shots confirming it’s similarly sized to the outgoing car.

Sighted both in standard and high-performance SQ7 guise, we’ve decoded that pesky test mule camouflage, offering you, the reader, the most accurate illustrated preview anywhere to date.
A Cleaner Look
Great news! The awkward proportions of the outgoing car have been ditched in favor of a balanced stance and a refreshingly clean aesthetic. Audi designers have styled it to mirror the look of the upcoming Q3, featuring a similar ‘Singleframe’ grille and split-level matrix-LED headlights.
The curvaceously new bodywork is complemented by pronounced shoulder lines, flush-set door handles, and a clamshell hood. Boomerang-style OLED tail lamps are connected by a full-width lightbar to enhance aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the high-performing SQ7 variant builds upon this with huge wheels, dynamic trim elements and quad exhausts.
A High-tech Outlook
Inside, the Q7 will offer a cabin with abundant opulence, augmented by increased dimensions over the Q7, providing ample room for all passengers and cargo. It will be a tech fest, too. Taking cues from Audi’s latest models such as the Q6 e-tron, anticipate the next Q7 to feature an expansive 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch infotainment system running Android Automotive dominating the dashboard.

Passengers are treated to a 10.9-inch front display with shutter technology to prevent driver distraction. Other goodies on the cards include an augmented reality head-up display, a Virtual Reality (VR) assistant, and a premium 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Efficient Propulsion
The Q7 will offer various powertrain options to suit diverse preferences. Conjecture suggests that six-cylinder gasoline and diesel units with 48-volt mild hybrid technology will be available. However, performance metrics for these remain a closely guarded secret.
A plug-in hybrid variant will also be a shoo-in, offering an electric-only range tipped to exceed 62 miles (100 km) on the WLTP cycle. Enthusiasts can also expect a high-performance SQ7 version alongside Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system and air suspension for an enjoyable driving experience.
Rivals and Reveal
Competing against a variety of premium mid-size SUVs, including the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Cadillac XT6 and the Range Rover Sport, the new Q7 will need to be a standout if it wants to strengthen its share of the fiercely contested luxury SUV segment.
