2020 Audi Q7 Facelift Spotted Testing On Cold-Weather Conditions
Audi is updating the 2020 Q7 with design cues from the Q8, as well as the latest technologies
Audi continues the development work on the facelifted 2020 Q7, which is set to adopt a more dynamic look that's more in line with the brand's latest models.
Our spies spotted a team of test cars during some cold-weather testing, with Audi engineers driving not only the standard Q7 but the sportiest SQ7 as well.
The exterior of the 2020 Audi Q7 will feature a redesigned front fascia with new headlights, grille and bumper, in similar style to those found in the Q8. The rear end is also set to receive a new tailgate with the characteristic for Audi LED lights and a new bumper.
The biggest change however will be found on the inside as the big Audi SUV is set to get what looks like a full dashboard swap, featuring the same layout and design with the Q8.
That means that the facelifted Q7 will finally feature Audi's triple-display setup, featuring the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster along with a pair of touchscreen displays for the infotainment and HVAC controls in the middle.
The engine range will include Audi's latest 48-volt tech, meaning that powertrain options fitted with it will pose as mild-hybrids while the sportier SQ7 should get an updated version of its impressive 429hp 4.0-liter V8 TDI diesel engine, which already features an electric-powered compressor for zero lag.
The thin camouflage of the test cars indicates that Audi will reveal the updated Q7 sometime in the first half of 2019 as a 2020 model, so stay tuned for more info as we have them.
