Audi is currently working on a second refresh for the Q7 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), following a facelift in 2019, with the updated model expected to be released for the 2024 model year. Here’s what you can expect from the 2024 Audi Q7 PHEV:
Design & Interior
Spy pictures of the 2024 Audi Q7 PHEV suggest it will feature minor design changes, concentrated at the front. Tweaked Matrix LED headlamps with a thin DRL stripe located on the top, reshaped octagonal Singleframe grille with a new honeycomb pattern, new air inlets, and a new bumper should give its face a renewed, more confident look.
On the sides, expect new alloy wheels, available in 19-, 20-, and 21-inch sizes. Spy shots indicate that the rear-end would look updated, too, with new graphics in the combination lamps and a new bumper.

Specifications
The 2024 Audi Q7 PHEV would need to deliver a significantly higher range than the outgoing model to be competitive enough compared to the BMW X5 PHEV (BMW X5 xDrive50e) and the Mercedes GLE PHEV (Mercedes GLE 400 e 4MATIC), which are officially expected to deliver WLTP range figures of up to 110 km (68 miles) and 105 km (65 miles), respectively. It may have a bigger battery pack with an energy storage capacity of at least around 25 kWh (net).
The current Q7 PHEV, which is already unavailable to order in several important markets because of supply chain issues, has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 gasoline engine paired with a permanently excited synchronous motor. The latter is integrated into the housing of an 8-speed automatic transmission. A permanent all-wheel drive system with a self-locking center differential splits the torque between the front and rear axles. Audi may revise the engine and electric motor to realize higher combined power and combined torque than the outgoing model’s 250 kW (335 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb.-ft.).

Release date
The 2024 Audi Q7 PHEV will likely go on sale in Europe in early 2024. Audi doesn’t offer the Q7 PHEV in the U.S., but the incoming SUV’s significantly higher electric range could make it a compelling case for the American subsidiary to investigate.
TopElectricSUV says
With improved styling, new features, and a substantially higher all-electric driving range, the 2024 Q7 Plug-in Hybrid is set to be a more compelling option for consumers seeking a spacious plug-in hybrid SUV. While its arrival in the U.S. market is uncertain, we remain hopeful that it will be made available to customers stateside.
