With its three seating rows, it seats up to seven people, and still provides a pleasingly sporty driving experience for such a large SUV, despite its age and size. Standard Quattro all-wheel drive helps with that, and the turbocharged powertrains offer strong performance and efficiency. Its rivals include the Volvo XC90, Lexus TX, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Genesis GV80.What's New for 2025Audi reworks the front end of the 2025 Q7, and it almost looks like the new generation you'd expect at this advanced age, but it's just a refresh of the existing Q7, and you'll soon see that the rear and profile are instantly familiar. There's a new grille, and Matrix LED headlights are now standard, as are OLED taillight clusters, both with signature DRL animations. At the same time, Q7 55 and SQ7 models are now eligible for HD Matrix-design LED headlights with Audi Laser light. The 2025 Q7 introduces new wheel designs in 20- to 22-inch sizes, along with three new metallic paint colors: Chili Red, Sakhir Gold, and Ascari Blue.AdvertisementAdvertisementIn the cabin, there's new upholstery and trim, with the Q7 45 getting contrasting gray seam stitching. The infotainment system gains Amazon Music and Spotify app integration, with more apps downloadable from the constantly expanding Audi App Store. Audi now includes complimentary traffic-light info and online navigation for three years, as well as a six-month trial for streaming services and in-car Wi-Fi. The optional Executive package is now available too, and adds dual-pane acoustic glass, rear sunshades, 4-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.ExteriorThe 2025 facelift adds some sophistication with the refreshed front end and high-tech lighting, thanks to standard Matrix-design LED headlights and four distinctive DRL animations. The updated OLED taillights have programmable signature animations too, as well as dynamic turn signals, while aluminum roof rails are standard. The Premium trims run on 19-inch alloy wheels, while the rest get 20-inch wheels, with 21s optionally available. A blacked-out exterior comes courtesy of the Black Optic package. Both a power liftgate and a power panoramic sunroof are standard.Static photo,Colour: Ascari blue metallicAudiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin puts the focus on premium materials and a more minimalist design approach, though the three digital displays can look a bit overwhelming at first - a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster, a 10.1-inch main upper infotainment touchscreen, and a lower 8.6-inch climate control touchscreen. The eight-way power-adjustable front seats are heated, but the Premium Plus also adds ventilation and massaging functions. The second row splits and folds in a 35/30/35 ratio, and the third row power folds. Cargo capacity is only 14.2 cu-ft behind the third row, but this expands to 35.7 cu-ft with it folded down. With the second row also folded, up to 69.6 cu-ft is on offer.CockpitAudiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleMSRPThe 2025 Audi Q7's price list starts at just a smidge over $60K for MY2025:Price RangeTrimBase PriceBase Trim 45 Premium$60,500Best Value Trim 45 Premium Plus$64,300Top Trim 55 Prestige$77,900The Q7 45 Premium Plus offers the best value at $64,300, gaining features such as wireless charging, ambient lighting, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, a surround-view camera, and 20-inch wheels over the Premium for less than $4K.Key SpecsPowertrainEngineOutputTransmission2.0L Turbo I4 (45 models)261 hp / 273 lb-ft8-speed automatic3.0L Turbo V6 (55 models)335 hp / 369 lb-ft8-speed automaticDrive type: Quattro all-wheel drive standardAdvertisementAdvertisementClaimed 0-60 mph: 6.7 seconds (45 models) / 5.5 seconds (55 models)Towing capacity: 4,400 lbs (45 models) / 7,700 lbs (55 models)Fuel EconomyConfigurationCityHighwayCombined45 TFSI (2.0L turbo-four)20 mpg26 mpg22 mpg55 TFSI (3.0L turbo-V6)18 mpg23 mpg20 mpgIn practice, the 55 trims with their turbocharged V6 engine typically match the EPA's 20-mpg combined figure.Seating capacity: 7 passengers across three rowsWarrantyAudi provides competitive warranty coverage comparable with luxury segment peers.Coverage TypeDurationBasic4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain4 years / 50,000 milesCorrosion12 years / unlimited milesComplimentary MaintenanceNoneProsSporty handling for a three-row SUVStandard Quattro all-wheel-drive systemMinimalist interior design with premium materialsOptional air suspension and four-wheel steeringGenerous standard technology and safety featuresVirtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster standardMatrix LED headlights are now standard on all trimsConsThe third row is cramped for adults on longer tripsCargo space trails some competitors when the seats are upNo complimentary scheduled maintenance, unlike competitorsDual touchscreen interface polarizing among driversFour-cylinder is barely more efficient than the V6Base powertrain and trim warranty matches the powertrain warrantyInfotainment requires a learning curve for some usersVerdictThe Audi Q7 is now almost a decade old, but judicious updates keep it in the running. It still offers a surprisingly sporty drive and agile handling for a big SUV, and even the base four-pot powertrain is swift. The driving experience can be further improved with the addition of adjustable air suspension and rear-wheel steering. The V6 unlocks extra performance and towing capacity at a modest consumption penalty. AdvertisementAdvertisementCabin materials are genuinely premium, and the tech offering is up to date, but the third row is cramped for adults. Used as a five-seater with the third row folded, there's plenty of comfort, space, and cargo capacity to be had, though, and it's easy to do with the convenient power-folding third row. The best value in the lineup belongs to the 45 Premium Plus, which adds useful features such as a premium B&O audio system, bigger wheels, wireless charging, and a surround-view camera for only $4K. If you need the V6's towing capacity, you'll have to add another $5,300 to the bill. The new Executive package adds useful features, such as acoustic glass, 4-zone climate control, and ventilated front seats.AudiCompetitors:BMW X5Mercedes-Benz GLEVolvo XC90Lexus TXGenesis GV80Shop the Car MarketplaceView the original article to see embedded media.This story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 7, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
