The U.S.-market Audi SQ7 lineup has used two trims since its 2020 launch: Premium Plus and Prestige. Premium Plus is the core model, while Prestige adds higher-level lighting, parking, and driver-assistance equipment.
Yes. In the two-trim SQ7 lineup, Premium Plus is the entry model despite its upscale-sounding name. It still has the full 500-hp V8, sport air suspension, all-wheel steering, and three-row cabin.
Prestige is the top SQ7 trim. It keeps the same core performance hardware as Premium Plus and, on newer models, adds upgraded lighting, remote parking help, and intersection assistance.
The main difference is equipment, not performance. Both have the 500-hp V8, sport air suspension, and all-wheel steering. On newer SQ7s, Prestige adds upgraded headlights and taillights, remote parking help, and intersection assistance.
No. Premium Plus and Prestige use the same 500-hp, 568-lb-ft twin-turbo V8 and the same core suspension and steering hardware. Prestige focuses on extra technology and convenience rather than additional speed.
Yes. Premium Plus includes the SQ7's sport adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering. Those major performance features are not reserved for Prestige, so the entry trim retains the full SQ7 driving setup.
Premium Plus is the straightforward pick for performance-focused shoppers. It has the same 500-hp V8, sport air suspension, all-wheel steering, all-wheel drive, and seven-seat layout as Prestige without making the step mainly for extra convenience technology.
Prestige is the better fit for the most feature-rich SQ7. On newer models, it adds upgraded exterior lighting, remote parking help, and intersection assistance while keeping the same V8 performance hardware as Premium Plus.
On newer SQ7s, Prestige adds HD Matrix-design LED headlights with laser-light technology and digital OLED taillights. Premium Plus has the same performance hardware, so this step is mainly about more advanced lighting and visual detail.
Yes. On newer models, Prestige includes remote park assist plus, which is a key convenience upgrade over Premium Plus. Equipment changed across the 2020–2026 run, so verify that feature on the individual used SQ7.
In recent years, Premium Plus includes adaptive cruise assistance with lane guidance, plus blind-spot monitoring and rear crash warning. Earlier SQ7 equipment varied, with broader standard driver assistance arriving during the model's run.
Yes. Both Audi SQ7 trims have the same three-row, seven-seat cabin. Moving to Prestige changes lighting, parking, and driver-assistance equipment rather than passenger capacity or the basic body layout.
