Audi has unveiled the third-generation new Q7, a premium large SUV. The new Q7 is a model that has strengthened space utilization, driving dynamics, and advanced lighting technology, and will be produced at the Bratislava plant. In the UK market, pre-orders will begin in July this year, and deliveries will start in September. Prices start from less than 82,000 pounds.

The new Q7 is equipped as standard with a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine delivering a maximum output of 299 horsepower and maximum torque of 630Nm, an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, and a permanent all-wheel drive system. It can also run on hydrogenated vegetable oil fuel. The MHEV Plus technology applied to all trims assists with up to 18kW of output and 370Nm of torque, while an electric compressor enhances acceleration responsiveness. Adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering are standard, and features such as suspension adjustment using geodata and a function that lowers the vehicle height by 62mm during boarding and alighting have been added. Wheel sizes can be selected from 20 inches to 23 inches.

For lighting technology, digital matrix LED headlights based on micro LED modules and third-generation digital OLED rear lights are applied, offering eight lighting signatures. Advanced turn signals that project signals onto the road surface at night are applied for the first time, along with lane lights that alert to vehicles in blind spots and a warning display for icy roads. When a rear vehicle approaches while stopped, the rear lights illuminate entirely, and when a door is opened, a diamond pattern is projected onto the floor.

As for safety specifications, Emergency Assist, which includes Adaptive Driving Assistant Plus and shoulder steering functionality, is equipped for the first time. Emergency Assist forcibly stops the vehicle and connects an emergency call if the driver becomes unresponsive. The trained parking function supports automatic parking by memorizing up to five paths with lengths of up to 200 meters.

The interior, based on UK specifications, comes standard with a seven-seat configuration. The second-row seats feature 65:35 split folding and sliding adjustment, allowing three child seats to be installed side by side. Cargo capacity expands from a base of 581 to 722 liters to a maximum of 1980 to 2075 liters when fully folded. Two 25W wireless charging pads supporting the Qi2.2 standard are placed in the center console, and a panoramic sunroof with adjustable transparency in nine levels and a 1360W Bang & Olufsen 4D sound system are applied.

The infotainment system comes standard with a curved OLED-based MMI Panorama Display and a passenger seat display, and supports a proprietary app store. Audi Assistant, a voice recognition AI, provides answers by connecting to ChatGPT for questions that are difficult to resolve independently. In Europe, deliveries are expected to begin in September, starting with Germany and the UK around July. The domestic market is expected to see a launch in the second half of this year, but no confirmed details have been disclosed so far.
