The Audi Q7 is a stylish, dynamic, and practical three-row contender in the midsize luxury SUV segment. Audi offers this exceptional combination of desirable attributes at a competitive price point. However, I believe the Q7 still isn’t receiving the attention it deserves. To stir things up, Audi has given the 2025 Q7 a styling refresh and a mild overhaul. The exterior has been extensively revamped with new design elements, and the options list has been updated with several new features, including fresh color options, upholstery choices, and upgrades to the infotainment system. The powertrains, however, remain unchanged.
The 2025 Audi Q7 Flaunts Restyled Bodywork and New Color Options
Audi has significantly reworked the exterior styling of the 2025 Q7. The most noticeable change is at the front, where the large signature Audi Singleframe grille has been restyled with vertical inlays and redesigned contours. The headlamps have been slightly tweaked, and they are now more seamlessly integrated into the grille. Additionally, the Matrix-design LED headlights are now standard across all 2025 Q7 models. Overall, the front end appears sleeker, cleaner, and more cohesive. I particularly love the optional Black Optic package, which darkens the grille and adds a dark finish to the Audi logo.

Audi has also refined both the front and rear bumpers, enhancing them with a redesigned front spoiler and a more aggressive rear diffuser, giving the vehicle a sportier look. In fact, I find the aesthetics of the new Q7 more impressive than those of its sportier sibling, the 2025 Audi SQ7. The color palette has been expanded with three new shades: Sakhir Gold Metallic, Ascari Blue Metallic, and Chili Red Metallic. A couple of new alloy wheel options are also available.
The 2025 Audi Q7 Gets Interior Updates and Enhanced Tech Features
All the luxurious elements found in the 2024 Q7’s cabin have been retained in the 2025 model, which is great to see. However, a few new additions elevate the overall user experience in this luxury SUV. The base model now features upholstery with gray seam stitching. A new available Executive Package adds several features, including four-zone automatic climate control, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, rear sunshades, dual-pane acoustic glass, and traffic sign recognition. On the technology front, Audi has introduced a significant update: the 2025 Q7 now supports third-party apps. Popular applications such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube can now be downloaded from the Audi App Store, offering easier media access and connectivity.

The two powertrains from the 2024 Audi Q7 carry over unchanged for the 2025 model. The base “45” grade trims are powered by a 261-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the higher-end “55” grade gets a punchier 335-hp turbocharged V6. Both engines are paired with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.
2025 Audi Q7 pricing
The 2025 Audi Q7 lineup starts with the 45 Premium at $60,500, featuring quattro all-wheel drive, 19″ wheels, and Matrix-design LED headlights. The 55 Premium, priced at $65,800, adds adaptive cruise assist and a power-folding 3rd row, while upgrading to a more potent 335-hp V6, compared to the 261-hp 4-cylinder in the 45 Premium. The top-tier 55 Prestige starts at $77,900 and includes adaptive air suspension, ventilated and massaging seats, and advanced tech like remote park assist and a head-up display.

Final Thoughts
The 2025 Audi Q7 retains its inherent positives, such as comfortable ride quality and engaging dynamics, now presented in a sleeker, sportier package with an expanded feature set. Once again, I emphasize that this is one of the best all-around vehicles in the midsize luxury SUV segment—not just in one specific area, but in an all-encompassing sense.
