2020 edition AUDI Q7 Taken to the next level

More powerful: new design with clear SUV characteristics and prestige factor
 More dynamic: active roll stabilization, air suspension and all-wheel steering
 More cutting edge: touch operating concept, HD Matrix laser light and
48-volt mild hybrid
Ingolstadt, June 26, 2019 – The Audi Q7 is getting an all-round update – both visually
and technically. The large SUV features the new design of the Q family and offers superb
dynamics and excellent comfort, in addition to its superior spaciousness. Mild hybrid
technology, the digital operating concept and the optional HD Matrix LED headlights
including laser light are just some of its highlights. The new Audi Q7 will be launched in
Europe in mid-September.
Robust look: the exterior design
The Audi Q7 demonstrates the hallmark SUV elements in the current design language. It bears
the large octagon-shaped Singleframe, with six upright slats providing the structure. As such,
the SUV looks even more powerful. The two-part side air inlets have a much more expressive
line, just like the sill area that underscores the large SUV’s ground clearance and, in turn, its
offroad capabilities. The headlights, optionally in HD Matrix LED technology with Audi laser
light, emphasize with their contour and light signature the width of the full-size model. On
the restyled rear, a striking chrome strip creates the visual connection between the flat rear
lights with their technical-looking graphics and carries forward the horizontal body line.
The designers achieved the clear view with taut, flat surfaces, which span the entire width
particularly in the license plate region. The Audi Q7 is particularly striking with the optional
S line exterior: A blade in the front bumper, sportily accentuated underbody protection at
the rear along with full paint finish and 19-inch wheels come standard.
Sporty on-road, powerful off: the suspension
Audi has substantially enhanced the dynamic attributes of the Q7. The electromechanical
active roll stabilization is available as an option for the large SUV. Adjustable stabilizers
reduce the body movements on uneven roads when driving in a straight line. With a sporty
driving style, the focus is on optimum roll compensation – the tendency of the car to lean
into the bend is reduced substantially.
All-wheel steering is also optionally available: The rear wheels turn by up to 5 degrees in the
opposite direction at low speed, which increases agility. On the highway these wheels steer
slightly in the same direction to promote stability.
Thanks to the combination of these high-tech systems, the Audi Q7 is extremely
maneuverable, precise and agile in urban traffic and on hairpin bends. In contrast, the Q7
behaves as a highly comfortable, poised touring SUV with excellent ride comfort on freeways –
particularly in conjunction with the adaptive air suspension. It also provides variable ground
clearance and prepares the Audi Q7 with its standard quattro drive for terrain off the beaten
track. The appropriate offroad mode can be selected via the Audi drive select dynamic handling
system with its seven profiles. Air suspension comes standard on all seven-seater Q7 models.
The S line exterior includes the slightly firmer adaptive air suspension sport, which lowers the
ride height by 15 millimeters (0.6 in) compared with the regular air suspension system.
