2026 Audi Q7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2026 Audi Q7 is the addition of three sport-styled S line 55 TFSI trims. This is otherwise a light update, with extra comfort and suspension equipment on the V6 Premium Plus and standard all-wheel steering on the V6 Prestige.
About the 2026 Audi Q7
2nd generation (2017-2026), last model year before the 2027 third-generation redesign; the latest exterior and lighting update had arrived for 2025.
Audi positions the Q7 as a luxury SUV that combines secure road manners with family usefulness. Standard AWD, three-row seating for seven, a power-folding third row, and a hands-free power tailgate support daily family and cargo needs, while the quiet cabin, digital controls, and balanced handling distinguish it from larger, less car-like three-row SUVs.
The 2026 Q7 is a seven-seat luxury SUV offered with a 261-hp turbo four-cylinder or a stronger 335-hp turbo V6, and every version has AWD. Premium Plus trims emphasize comfort with features such as premium audio, a 360-degree camera, and, on V6 versions, adaptive air suspension and ventilated front seats. Prestige adds features such as all-wheel steering, a head-up display, and remote parking assistance, while the new S line versions pair the V6 with sport-styled front and rear bodywork.
