“Technology interface needs update badly. Not user friendly. The radio sometimes goes out and later turns itself back on after “reviewing updates". Changing from user to user is a mess. Many times user 1 is driving with user 2 adjustments & has to manually change while getting into car and driving.”
2025 Audi Q7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Audi Q7’s biggest change is a late-cycle exterior refresh, not a full redesign. It brings revised front and rear styling, updated lighting, and refreshed cabin and infotainment details while keeping the same engines.
About the 2025 Audi Q7
2nd generation (2017-2026), second major facelift/late-cycle refresh for 2025
The Q7 is Audi’s family-focused three-row luxury SUV: quiet, polished, and easier to live with day to day than many flashier rivals. Audi markets it around roomy seven-passenger seating, standard quattro all-wheel drive, upscale cabin materials, and a blend of confident road manners and real utility. For many shoppers, the Q7’s draw is that it feels premium without being showy, while still offering useful towing capability and a flexible cabin for kids, luggage, and long trips.
The 2025 lineup ranges from the straightforward 45 models with a 261-hp turbocharged four-cylinder to the stronger 55 models with a 335-hp turbocharged V6. Premium Plus trims emphasize useful upgrades such as premium audio, a top-view camera, and wireless phone charging. The luxury-focused Prestige adds adaptive air suspension, premium leather, ventilated and massaging front seats, a head-up display, and soft-closing doors.
