Overview
- Audi formally revealed the third‑generation Q7 on June 9, 2026, offering a 3.0‑litre V6 diesel in two outputs and opening orders in Germany with deliveries from September.
- The new MHEV plus system combines a powertrain generator, belt‑alternator starter, an LFP battery and an electric compressor to add up to 18 kW and 370 Nm of drive assist.
- Buyers can choose five-, six‑seat (new captain’s chairs in the second row) or seven‑seat layouts, with the five‑seat as the base configuration.
- The Q7 moves to Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) and adds premium tech such as a three‑screen cockpit, a nine‑segment opacifying panoramic roof with 78 LEDs, and a 22‑speaker Bang & Olufsen 4D system that uses seat actuators.
- Pricing starts at €87,900 in Europe, production is in Bratislava, and Audi says the diesel engine is compatible with HVO renewable fuel, a detail that underlines the company’s plan to extend efficient combustion options as it phases in more electrified models.
