2025 Audi SQ7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Audi SQ7 is a late-cycle exterior and lighting refresh, not a full redesign. It also gets modest infotainment and driver-display updates, while the 500-hp twin-turbo V8 carries over unchanged.
About the 2025 Audi SQ7
2nd-generation Q7/SQ7 family, late-cycle second facelift/refresh year.
Audi positions the SQ7 as the big family SUV in its S lineup: a three-row luxury SUV with genuine V8 performance, premium cabin materials, and room for seven. Its core appeal is that it mixes straight-line speed and confident handling with everyday usefulness, including a roomy cabin, flexible cargo space, and upscale tech. Compared with rivals, the SQ7 leans more toward understated speed and all-around usability than showy styling.
The 2025 SQ7 is a three-row performance SUV built around a 500-hp twin-turbo V8, sport-tuned air suspension, and all-wheel steering. Premium Plus combines that performance with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a power-folding third row. Prestige adds features such as a head-up display, soft-closing doors, and ventilated and massaging front seats.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 2025 Audi SQ7 a full redesign?
No. The 2025 Audi SQ7 is a late-cycle refresh of the existing generation, with revised exterior details, updated lighting, and a few technology changes rather than a new platform or structure.
Did the 2025 Audi SQ7 get a new engine?
No. The 2025 SQ7 keeps its 500-hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission.
What changed between the 2024 and 2025 Audi SQ7?
The 2025 SQ7 gets a revised grille, updated front and rear details, new lighting signatures, more built-in infotainment apps, and additional driver-assistance warnings in the digital display. Its V8 powertrain carries over.
Do both 2025 Audi SQ7 trims get the refresh?
Yes. Both Premium Plus and Prestige receive the refreshed exterior and lighting, expanded built-in app support, and added driver-assistance warning displays.
Is the 2025 Audi SQ7 worth considering over the 2024 model?
The 2025 SQ7 makes more sense if updated exterior details, revised lighting, and added infotainment functions matter to you. Its engine and basic vehicle structure are unchanged, so the refresh does not bring a major difference in performance.
