A few days ago, Audi released the official map of the new Q7 model, the new car is mainly aimed at the appearance adjustment, as to when it will be introduced into the country is not clear. This generation of Q7 was first released in 2015, but this update is still not a replacement, but can be seen as the second change (the first change is in 2019). As a reference, the current import of domestic 2023 Audi Q7 launched a total of 4 models, the official price range of 632800-804800 yuan.

Judging from the changes of the new Audi Q7, the new car makes substantial changes at the design level, making it more ferocious and atmospheric as a whole. The overall outline of the new Audi Q7 remains the same, replacing with a brand new octagonal intake grille, weakening the edges and corners and increasing the width of the silver decoration, while the inner middle net uses a honeycomb design, and the silver decoration in the details also plays a decorating effect. the lower two sides of the fog lamp area uses a black honeycomb grille similar to the medium net, which enhances the movement of the front face. In addition, the new Audi Q7 is adjusted for the lamp group, the structure in the lamp cavity is more refined, the position of daytime driving lights is also moved to the top, and four new customized functions are added, and some models can also be equipped with brand-new laser headlamps.

Judging from the official pictures, the side of the new Audi Q7 has not changed much, only for window decoration strips, equipped with five-spoke rims, red brake calipers also bring a certain sense of movement. In the rear part of the car, the rear of the new car has smooth lines and looks very atmospheric as a whole. At the same time, compared with the headlight group shape, the new Audi Q7 taillight group should be relatively conservative, not too many bright spots. In addition, the car is also equipped with gun gray diffuser, bilateral exhaust layout and roof spoiler and other equipment, outstanding visual effect.

In terms of interior, the new Audi Q7 does not adopt the latest family cockpit design like the Audi Q6 e-tron prototype, but continues to use the iconic three screens (full LCD meter, central control panel, seat / air conditioning control panel) and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, upgrades to the car engine system, adds more applications, and optimizes the display of driving assistance functions such as lane change assistance and distance warning. At the same time, the car adopts through-type air conditioning outlet, which cooperates with the diamond pattern on the seat to increase the exquisite feeling of the vehicle.

In the power part, the new Audi Q7 continues to provide diesel and gasoline engines in overseas markets, and may continue the 2.0T and 3.0T gasoline power provided by cash models when it comes to China. For reference, the 2023 Audi Q7 45TFSI is equipped with a fourth-generation EA888 2.0TFSI engine with a maximum power of 195kW and a peak torque of 370Nm, while the 55TFSI is equipped with an EA839 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine and a 48V light hybrid system with a maximum power of 250kW and a peak torque of 500Nm. In terms of transmission system, the 2023 Audi Q7 all-series match 8-speed manual self-integrated transmission and quattro full-time four-wheel drive system (with central mechanical torque limited slip differential).

Data show that the second generation of Audi Q7 officially listed in China in 2015, the second generation of Audi Q7 ushered in a mid-term change in 2020, and has been sold ever since. It should be noted that the extent of the change at that time was comparable to that of a new generation, and the new car was completely improved in appearance, interior and power. Data show that Audi Q7 model sales of 17862 vehicles in 2023, the overall market performance is very mediocre.

As far as the current domestic luxury medium and large SUV market is concerned, the BMW X5 has taken the lead in the domestic market, with a vehicle price of 61.2-800000 yuan, with an average monthly sales of about 8000 and 93926 in 2023. In addition to the BMW X5, the Audi Q7 will also compete with Mercedes-Benz GLE (69.98-889800 yuan), with sales of 38071 vehicles in 2023, also higher than the Audi Q7. From the point of view that Audi has fully turned to electrification, if you do not choose domestic, some fuel cars in cash in the future may be changed all the time until the production of the product is stopped.
