    2024 Audi Q7 facelift design

    The second facelift for the Audi Q7 was revealed in January this year, and it has received more than a few changes to the exterior. It shares the LED headlights with the all-electric Audi Q6 e-tron. These units are mounted higher than they are in the outgoing model and use laser diodes for new-design daytime running lights, which have four different “light signatures” that are selectable via the infotainment system. Now, the OLED tail-lights also come with the ability to have four different light signatures.

    The front grille has been revised with a thicker chrome surround and a hexagonal pattern, and international models also get five new-design alloy wheel options, ranging from 20 inches to 22 inches. The 2024 Q7 will come with a choice of five exterior colours: Sakhir Gold, Waitomo Blue, Mythos Black, Samurai Grey and Glacier White.

    The refreshed Q7 gets contrasting grey leather with two new trim finishes – Cedar Brown and Saiga Beige – and its infotainment system has also been upgraded to allow passengers to stream music from apps like Spotify and Amazon Music. Audi has also upgraded the Virtual Cockpit with a lane-change warning system. No other changes are expected to the features list or the safety kit.

    Mechanically, the Q7 facelift is unchanged and continues to be powered by a 340hp, 500Nm, 3.0-litre turbo-petrol V6 engine. An 8-speed automatic sends power to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system. The company claims a 0-100kph time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 250kph.

    2024 Audi Q7 facelift price estimate and rivals
