Updated Audi Q7, SQ7 Sharpens Its Look

In the luxury SUV sphere, the Audi Q7 (a personal favorite) is a household name and is always a contender that manages to draw attention. Now, with the 2025 models rolling into view, Audi decided to give its stalwart Q7 and its beefier cousin, the SQ7, a stylish makeover. 

Starting at $60,500, the refreshed, tech-infused Q7 models come with a modest price increase but pack a lot of new features to justify the extra bucks.

Let’s dive into what’s new with these models and why it’s worth your attention.

Audi isn’t just tweaking the Q7’s design; it’s pushing the envelope on what this SUV can be. Here’s the latest upgrades:

• Design and Tech Overhaul: The 2025 refresh brings the Q7 in line with Audi’s design language. Think dark-tinted headlights and a more aggressive front end that speaks to the brand’s future direction.
  • HD Matrix LED headlights with laser tech, offering dazzling, customizable light signatures.
• Inside Scoop: The interior keeps its classic layout but introduces the newest version of Audi’s infotainment system, now compatible with your favorite apps like Spotify.
  • The digital dashboard also gets smarter, offering detailed info on traffic and safety features.
• Performance Unchanged but Uncompromised: In the U.S., the engine lineup remains the same, offering a choice from a 261hp turbo four to a roaring 500hp V8 (373 kW / 507 PS) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) in the SQ7.
  • Audi’s quattro AWD + four-wheel steering
  • Adaptive air suspension
  • Sportier chassis
  • ADAS systems (lane change warning, distance warning, intersection assist, and traffic light information)
  • S sport package (for Q7, SQ7)
  • Sport rear differential
  • Electromechanical Active Roll Stabilization(eAWS)
• Price Tag: Despite the upgrades, the price increase is minimal. Starting at $60,500 (€55,926) for the base model and going up to $90,800 (€83,935) for the top-tier V8, it’s a premium, sure, but one that Audi believes is well worth it for what you get.
