This is the 2025 Audi Q7 facelift, which receives a number of upgrades to keep it relevant in a competitive market. Here’s a look at the changes.
The Audi Q7 has been with us since 2015 and the German carmaker has released a second facelift for the premium SUV in an effort to keep pace with the ever-changing luxury SUV market.
Visually, the updated model features a revised front end with a tweaked grille and new headlights. While some versions of these headlights will be optional, Audi says its new laser diode headlights offer increased distance at night. There will also be light signatures which can be customised. We’ve already had a first taste of the new headlight technology in the facelifted Audi Q8, which we drove late last year.
There will be new colours for the 2025 Audi Q7 facelift, like the Ascari Blue (pictured here) as well as Chili Red and Sakhir Gold. New wheel options are also offered, with sizes ranging from 20 to 22 inches.
Audi has introduced updates to the car’s infotainment system and third-party apps like Spotify are able to plug directly through the vehicle.
Audi has confirmed the powertrain options for the Q7 facelift and it follows a similar pattern to the engines of the Audi Q8 facelift. There will be a 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel V6 available in two states of tune; 170 kW / 500 N and 210 kW / 600 Nm. A petrol turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 brings 250 kW and 500 Nm to the table, and for the performance fans, the SQ7 has a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with 372 kW and 770 Nm. The Audi Q7 will come with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission.
When will the 2025 Audi Q7 Facelift come to South Africa?
An Audi South Africa representative confirmed the facelifted Q7 will be touching down on our shores in October 2024. Pricing, specifications and engine lineup will be confirmed closer to launch.
