The Audi Q7 was originally introduced in 2015. And the second generation of Q7 is showing its age. After a refresh in 2020, Audi kept this model the same with just a few small changes. So for the 2025 Audi Q7, we expect to get a second refresh or actual model, but there is also a chance that it will get a huge redesign. The Audi Q7 was never a real competitor to a full-size SUV because the third row is a little cramped and it does not offer a comfortable ride like competitors. So they may introduce a newly developed vehicle in the 3-row SUV segment and move the Q7 to midsize. The new car will probably have the name Q9, and it will offer space for up to seven people.
We are waiting for official news from Audi about the upcoming Q7. However, according to our sources, they are preparing us with a few surprises for the 2025 year. The 2025 Audi Q7 will get a new exterior and interior upgrade, and according to leaked spy photos, it will get a new air suspension.
2025 Audi Q7 redisign
The Q7 will receive an overhaul for the 2025 model year. Because the refreshed model from 2020 started looking outdated, the Q7 needs new exterior changes. So we expect a new grill that will have the same bold design as the previous model. Also, the changes will happen in the front lighting group, including both headlights and daily LED lights. The body line of this SUV will not be changed, but we expect Audi to offer a new rim design. Also, we expect new interesting premium color options, and there will be a special black option for the interior that will make all accents black. The upcoming Q7 will probably get a new look from the rear. Including new taillights and a new, more futuristic rear bumper.
2025 Audi Q7 Specifications
The 2025 Audi Q7 will be available in multiple engine configurations. In the US market, it will be available in gasoline and hybrid variants. And on the other markers, we will find a diesel engine under the hood. All of the available engine configurations will have a displacement of 3 liters, and they will start with a base model that will offer 275 horsepower.
The other, more potent variant, will have 340 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. There will be a hybrid mill that will come with 380 horsepower and an impressive 400 pounds of torque. All motor configurations will be paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. And also, all models will share Quattro all-wheel drive with a self-locking differential.
The 2025 model will come with an improved suspension that will offer a more comfortable ride and better driving capabilities.
For top speed and acceleration, we guess that the most potent engine variant will be able to go from 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds, and maximum speed will be electronically limited to 155 MPH.
2025 Audi Q7 Interior
The interior of the 2025 Audi Q7 will be redesigned from the ground up. Q7 needed this because the cabin of this family SUV started looking audited and needed an overhaul. At this moment, there are no official pictures or renders. But we expect to see a new modern info-intertainment system with new software on it. Also, the driver’s gauge will get a new look, and it will become bigger up to 9 inches.
This luxurious SUV will also get a new seat that will offer more comfort and better lumbar support. They will also come with heating and venting options, even on the base trim, and in the top-tier trim, they will get a massage option. Part of the standard equipment will also be ambient lighting. A new wireless charging pad is on the center console. And we will get a Type C charging port on the second row. The interesting change will also be the new 14-speaker sound system that will offer premium sound.
This model will also come with premium safety technology. Some of them will be shared by a previous generation. Hill Hold Assist, lane departure warning, parking brake, and parking sensors. Some of the features will be improved, like pedestrian warning, electric stabilization, and a rearview camera. And we expect to see some new features, including new Audi Sense software and improved navigation, that will be combined with new SUV software.
Price and Release Date
The starting price of the 2025 Audi Q7 should start at around $65.000 for base trim and go up to $80.000 for top-tier trim with all additional equipment chosen.
This is a slight rise from the previous year’s model (the 2024 Audi Q7 is expected to cost around $62,000), but this price rise is nothing if we consider what upgrades the 2025 model brings.
The release date is unknown, but according to rumors, it should be available in Q3 of 2024.
The competitors for this model are the Volvo XC90, BMW X5, and Cadillac XT6.
