Previously, a restyled crossover with a disguised front and rear managed to ride under the lenses of photo spies: a test prototype was seen on public roads in Germany and Northern Europe last winter. The company has so far kept the appearance of the updated Q7 a secret, however, there are already assumptions about the exterior of the novelty. Previously, the designer Kolesa.ru published his own version, now there is a version from the artist of the Spanish publication Motor.es.
Judging by the presented render, most of the changes will be concentrated in the front of the refreshed Audi Q7. So, the car will receive a new massive radiator grill: its shape will probably be the same, but the pattern will be made in the form of large black cells. This SUV also has a silver trim around the grill and a chrome-plated four-ring logo. updated crossover Audi Q7
In the lower part of the front bumper and on the sides there are air intakes, the head optics are connected to the radiator grille. The headlights of the car in the render have a narrower shape and “ticks” of LED daytime running lights. The updated “ku seventh” will retain the traditional side mirrors and conventional door handles. The stern is likely to be freshened up due to the corrected lights, which will still be interconnected by a thin chrome line that runs almost the entire width of the tailgate.
It is expected that the interior will also receive a small portion of changes. Most likely, the refreshed crossover will have different materials for finishing, a different multifunction steering wheel and an expanded list of equipment, including new driver's assistants. The virtual tidy and touchscreen infotainment system will remain the same, but will receive new software.
