Ingolstadt, June 9, 2026 – With the new Q7, Audi is building on an extremely successful legacy in the SUV segment. The third generation of this successful model proves a versatile companion – equally at home in a packed business schedule or on long road trips. The Q7 sets the benchmark in spaciousness, driving dynamics, comfort, and technology – once again coming to the UK with seven seats as standard, as well as Adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering.

"For more than 20 years, the Audi Q7 has represented the perfect premium SUV. With its new generation, we carry this mission forward. It combines a sporty, powerful design with a highly versatile interior, first-class materials, and a wide range of technologies," says Audi CEO Gernot Döllner.

No matter the terrain, the Audi Q7 has stood for the combination of unmistakable quattro performance and supreme everyday usability since 2005.

Inside, passengers are greeted by ample space. The Q7 TDI continues to come with seven seats as standard in the UK. Another highlight in the top trim level is the large, panoramic sunroof with switchable transparency.

Lighting plays a special role in the look of the new Q7. The digital Matrix LED headlights with micro-LED modules are built on technology that can directly project high-resolution light patterns. At the rear, third-generation digital OLED rear lights feature communication lighting and an active digital light signature.

At launch, the new Q7 will be available with a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine delivering 299 PS and 630 Nm of torque. The V6 diesel engine with MHEV plus technology features an electric-powered compressor for direct throttle response.

The new Q7 is built in Bratislava. It will be available to order in the UK from July 2026, with deliveries commencing in September.
