2019 Audi Q7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The most important change for the 2019 Audi Q7 is standard navigation on every trim. This is a light equipment update rather than a redesign, with more standard technology on Premium Plus models and several new SE-badged variants.
About the 2019 Audi Q7
2nd generation (2017-2019 pre-refresh), third model year before the 2020 facelift.
Audi positions the Q7 as a premium three-row family SUV that blends seven-passenger usefulness with a polished cabin and confident all-weather traction. The core draw is not flashy styling but a calm, high-quality interior, strong road manners, standard quattro all-wheel drive, and easy everyday usability. Against rivals, the Q7 leans on its upscale materials, tidy size for a three-row luxury SUV, and a technology-heavy cabin that still feels thoughtfully laid out.
The 2019 Q7 is a seven-seat luxury SUV with standard all-wheel drive and either a turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a stronger supercharged V6. Premium Plus models emphasize technology with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, full LED headlights, Bose audio, and an around-view camera, while the V6-only Prestige adds features such as adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and ventilated front seats.

2019 Audi Q7 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2019 Audi Q7.
“Get the premier plus or prestige packages and the 3.0 engine. The 2.0 gets the same gas mileage and has much more power”
“Q-7 is totally exceeds my expectations. Provides the expected comfort, mileage and performance I hoped to attain. Changing from driving a truck 15 + years to an Audi Q-7 was worth the chance & I don't regret a mile moment!”
