Audi has unveiled a number of technology and design upgrades for its Q7 flagship family SUV.

The redesigned exterior features new, more minimalist front and rear sections to reflect the brand’s design language.

It also features Matrix LED headlights as standard, as well as digital OLED rear lights.

Enhancements have also been made to the driver assistance systems, mainly the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which now displays a lane change warning, other road users (trucks, cars and motorcycles), distance warning, intersection assist and traffic light info online.

Audi is also expanding the range of apps available through the infotainment system. For the first time, occupants can directly use apps from third-party providers such as Spotify or Amazon Music.

Audi has refined the equipment range for the Q7 with the product upgrade. Three trim levels are available: S line, Black Edition and Vorsprung.

Standard equipment across the line-up includes Quattro all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, Matrix LED headlamps, rear view camera, Valcona leather upholstery, electrically adjustable heated front sports seats, Audi Virtual Cockpit, climate control and privacy glass.

Black Edition adds larger 21-inch Audi Sport wheels, sport adaptive air suspension, and a black high gloss package with black rings.

Additions included in Vorsprung trim include HD Matrix LED headlamps with Audi laserlight, a panoramic roof, all-wheel steering and larger 22-inch Audi Sport wheels.

Inside, an extended leather pack, B&O Premium Sound System, four-zone climate control, a head-up display and front seat ventilation and massage functions are fitted as standard.

Three engines are available: a 3.0-litre diesel that produces 231PS in the 45 TDI model, a 286PS version of the same engine in the 50 TDI, and a 3.0-litre petrol offering 340PS in the 55 TFSI.

Prices for the range start at £66,605 for the entry-level Q7 45 TDI S line, rising to £111,370 for the SQ7 Vorsprung.
