(December 18, 2019) HERNDON, Va. — The 2020 Audi Q7 has received an all-encompassing update — from enhanced technologies and infotainment systems to exterior and interior design improvements — continuing its tradition as a leader in the luxury SUV segment.

The new Audi Q7 features an all-new 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine, which generates 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 44 lb-ft over the previous generation with peak production available at wider and lower RPM ranges. Paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic transmission, which is well suited for the low-end torque of the turbocharged V6.

Its eight gears provide quick and smooth shifts. Standard quattro all-wheel drive offers precision and dynamic handling through active torque distribution to both axles.

This new V6 engine features a twin-scroll turbocharger positioned directly inside the “V,” paired with a revised Audi valvelift system, to help ensure improved engine responsiveness and performance. The SUV is able to run from 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds.

With the available adaptive air suspension, Audi Q7 drivers can adjust both the ride height and the firmness of the dampers through the Audi drive select system. Along with the standard Drive Select modes, the adaptive air suspension adds five selectable ride height levels: standard, off-road, lift, dynamic and loading.

Available all-wheel steering increases the agility of the large SUV, allowing the Audi Q7 additional maneuverability that can help in urban driving situations. When equipped with the optional tow package, the 2020 Audi Q7 has a 7,770-pounds maximum towing capacity.

The Audi Q7 demonstrates the hallmark SUV elements of the current Audi design language. At the front, the large, octagonal Singleframe grill with six vertical slats in chrome give the SUV a more powerful stance. The new front spoiler design in aluminum-optic underscores the large SUV’s ground clearance. The headlights with available HD Matrix-design and Audi laser light emphasize the full width of the model.

From the side, the trapezoidal window visually reduces the size of the Q7. At the rear, a striking chrome strip creates a connection between the flat-rear taillights and carries forward the horizontal bodyline while emphasizing the width of the vehicle. New 19-inch 5-arm star-design wheels with all-season tires are now standard equipment.
