Three years ago, the Audi Q7 was a surprising success, but in the meantime, these large cars have not been in great demand; sufficient reason then for a facelift and more economical engines. No changes are being made to the basic body with its wheelbase of 5.09 metres and three metre wheelbase, but the single-frame radiator grille that is typical for the marque was redesigned.Together with the Xenon headlights, the daytime running lights and indicators use LEDs. The same applies to the rear lights in the tailgate, the design of which was also reworked. At the rear end, the area around the number plate was also gine a new look.

With its consumption of 31.04mpg, the Q7 3.0 TDI now consumes 0.15 gallons less, which was achieved by the recycling of braking energy. The Q7 4.2 TDI has also had its consumption improved from 24.14 to 28.53mpg. At the same time, the V8 diesel has been given a power boost and now shifts the vehicle's 2.2 tonnes with an added 16bhp, providing a total output of 340bhp. In order to reduce the weight of the XL-SUV, the tailgate, bonnet and mudguards are now manufactured from aluminium.
