Sometimes too much of a
Information Provided by:
good thing isn’t enough.
When you get right down to it, a detail, a small design element revealed in a quick glance, might be the thing you remember most about
the Q7. That’s why, when designing it, the Audi engineers thought of it
more as a cohesive collection of impressive, finely realized details than
as just a luxury SUV. Yes, there is a lot to take in with a vehicle that can
seat up to seven. But maybe you’ll recall something more intimate when
you look back on it. Maybe you fell in love with the grain of the burled
wood inlays, or the touch of the standard leather seating surfaces. It
could have been the ability to stay engaged with the world through
an available mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, or the available TDI® clean diesel
model that gets an estimated combined 20 mpg.1 Maybe you never
even noticed the signature space, handling and comfort of the Q7.
Too much of a good thing? We didn’t think so.

.01 – Design Lines
car rear
The powerfully stylish stance of the Q7
might seem like an illusion, given its
size, but it’s real and intentional. Audi
helps capture and sustain strength and
character through its signature design
motif. The traditional Audi roof line takes
center stage here, managing to bring
a coupe-like silhouette into a robust
frame, while the dynamic and shoulder
lines help divide the body into a sporty,
elegant upper section and a dynamic,
rugged lower section, something to
notice if you see it glide by.

.02 – Lightweight Design
To help enhance efficiency

while maintaining exceptional performance, Audi strives to
lower the curb weight of all its vehicles, and the Q7 is no exception. By using a 3.0-liter
V6 with forced induction that delivers power on par with a traditional V8, and by using
aluminum where practical, the Audi Q7 loses nothing but pounds—by design.

Up to seven people won’t
know how stylish this looks
on the road.
Big doesn’t mean boxy. In other words, the Audi Q7 takes design seriously.
That’s why you’ll see the signature sweeping lines and the legendary attention
to detail that are Audi trademarks. It’s why the designers work tirelessly to
ensure that the style feels organic, and never feels forced. The result of this
painstaking attention to style makes the Q7 a considerable statement, a vehicle
that looks commanding, yet never disproportionate.
Sees to be seen.

When it comes to functionality and style in the Q7, the two seem to be twins. It’s
almost impossible to find one without the other. They are a particularly beautiful
and memorable pair in the available LED daytime running lights and standard LED
taillights, each complementing the other’s strengths. But you see this combination
everywhere. In how the available adaptive xenon plus headlights help illuminate
the bends and corners in the road more effectively.
.03 – LED Daytime Running Light Technology
Stylish and iconic, available LED daytime running
lights enhance the unmistakable look and design of
the Audi Q7, as well as its visibility to other drivers.

.04 – Adaptive Xenon Plus Headlights
Available on the Q7, Audi adaptive
xenon plus headlights redefine “bright
idea.” Twice as bright as traditional
halogen bulbs, they better illuminate
the path ahead. And by shifting in
response to steering input, they can help
alert you by seeing more of the road in
front of you while you are turning.

.05 – LED Taillight Technology
Bright and sleek, these lightemitting diode taillights help
convey crucial information—
such as the fact that you’re
braking. LEDs illuminate faster
than a traditional bulb, helping
give the drivers behind you
more time to react.
With potentially 14 hands touching it,

we knew we’d need a lot of leather.
This is what an Audi looks like. We like to say there is Truth in Engineering®,
but we also know there’s more. There’s Truth in everything we do, including the Truth in the interior of the Q7. You see it in the burnished, authentic
wood inlays. You see it in the aluminum accents that add a gleaming character to the large, useful space, and in a choice of uniquely colored leather on
interior surfaces. As you feel it, see it, experience it, you discover a material
truth of Audi: We go to seemingly any lengths—even 144.1 cu ft—to design
a space and fill it with luxurious materials that provide unsurpassed comfort
and versatility, as well as the fit and finish you would expect from Audi.
.06 – Power Rear Tailgate
Carefully integrated into the rear design,
the power rear tailgate on the Q7 gives you
programmable endpoints so you can adjust
the opening to the height you choose, better
to accommodate personal preferences and
tighter spaces.

Seven Seats
.07 –
We take comfort seriously for all seven potential occupants in the Q7,
with sumptuous, supple leather seating surfaces, 12-way power adjustable front seats, as well as reclining and sliding second-row seats.
We take functionality seriously too, with second- and third-row seats
that can be easily folded without removing the headrests to provide extra
cargo capacity, while an overall design flexibility allows for 28 possible
seating and cargo configurations.
.08 – Cargo Capacity
Perfect for the family road trip or the golf weekend, the Q7 brings the goods when it comes to
bringing the luggage. With 10.9 cu ft of cargo
capacity with all the rows up, and up to 72.5 cu
ft with the second and third row folded down,
there’s room for just about anything you’d want
to pack, and most likely room to spare. Leaving
you with only one worry—where you want to go.
.09 – Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
Information Provided by:
Standard in the second- and third-row outboard seats, the
LATCH system, combined with the possibilities offered by
the Q7 seating configurations, gives you flexibility when
your children are your passengers.

.10 – Ventilated Front Seats
Available front seat ventilation offers multiple speeds of cooling, which, along
with front seatback nets and useful storage compartments in the doors, center
console and cargo area, provide comfort and convenience throughout.

Maybe it’s on a fine spring day, or when you are anticipating a great
weekend, that you open the available panoramic sunroof and the cabin
floods with light—at that moment, everything seems right. You put on
a song that moves you. Hear it through a superior sound system. Then
bask in the refreshing comfort that available ventilated front seats provide. Realize that you have just created the perfect environment to liberate your senses. Welcome to your Q7.
.11 – BOSE® Surround Sound
BOSE® designed its surround
sound to meet the unique size
requirements of the Q7, using
the dimensions of the space
itself to optimize the effect.
Making the most of speaker
positioning and the cabin acoustics, the available BOSE® system
helps deliver a crisp, engaging
sound, and a deep and immersive sonic experience. And with
the unique noise compensation
technology of AudioPilot®, you
can spend less time adjusting
the volume and more time enjoying the music.
Dedicated to the idea of “honest music reproduction,” Bang & Olufsen®
has created a sound engineer’s dream. An available 1,000-watt advanced sound system brilliantly re-creates music using 14 enclosed
speakers, including two acoustic lens tweeters, placed throughout the
cabin. The system features revolutionary matchbook-sized ICEpower®
amplifiers to supply power to all 14 speakers. Bang & Olufsen® is set
on music reaching your ears by transcending the limits of audio technology. In other words, they design systems for the human heart as
much as for the human ear.
The available panoramic sunroof brings seemingly endless light to your
ample interior cabin. The front and rear glass elements can be tilted,
and the front panel can be opened, and if you should need a break
from the sun, the sunroof features a power sunshade in the front and
a manual sunshade in the rear.
