Audi Q7

Audi Q7 Facelift Kedua Didedahkan Menjelang Era Elektrifikasi

Audi telah memperkenalkan peningkatan besar kedua untuk SUV tujuh tempat duduknya yang popular, Q7. Model semasa menghampiri satu dekad di pasaran. Kemaskini ini berlaku ketika Audi bersiap sedia untuk melancarkan kenderaan bertenaga petrol terakhirnya.

Diperkenalkan pada tahun 2015 dan terakhir dikemas kini pada tahun 2020, kemaskini terbaru ini tidak hanya menjanjikan penataan semula reka bentuk, tetapi juga menggabungkan teknologi terkini, menandakan lompatan besar bagi model yang agak lama ini.

Walaupun norma industri menunjukkan generasi baru selepas lapan tahun, komitmen Audi untuk melancarkan kenderaan bertenaga petrol atau diesel yang baru pada tahun 2025 menimbulkan persoalan tentang masa depan Q7. Kemaskini ini, nampaknya, direka untuk menjadikan Q7 bersaing sehingga syarikat beralih kepada kenderaan elektrik, yang dijangkakan bermula pada tahun 2026, dengan matlamat utama untuk menghentikan penjualan petrol dan diesel di semua pasaran, kecuali China, menjelang tahun 2033.

Dari segi visual, kemaskinian membawa tampilan segar kepada Q7, dengan lampu hadapan LED yang diubah suai dengan teknologi HD matrix LED, mempunyai 24 LED dan teknologi laser-light yang menjanjikan pencahayaan tinggi yang ditingkatkan. Lampu belakang OLED pilihan dengan tandatangan cahaya yang boleh disesuaikan menambah sentuhan keanggunan, menyesuaikan kecerahan apabila kenderaan lain mendekati.

Penambahbaikan luaran termasuk bumper hadapan yang diubahsuai, grille yang diubahsuai, dan saluran udara, terutamanya ketara pada varian sporty SQ7. Tambahan pula, hujung ekzos yang kelihatan, reka bentuk roda yang diubahsuai dari 20 hingga 22 inci, dan tiga warna yang mencolok—Sakhir Gold, Ascari Blue, dan Chili Red—melengkapkan pembaharuan luaran.

Di dalam kabin, Q7 mengekalkan susunan tiga skrin untuk hiburan maklumat, instrumen, dan kawalan air-conditioning. Walau bagaimanapun, tiga pilihan dalaman papan pemuka baru—Natural Elm Burl Silver, Matte Carbon Twill, dan Matte Brushed Aluminium—menawarkan lebih banyak pilihan peribadi kepada pembeli. Model Eropah kini dilengkapi dengan jahitan kerusi kelabu standard, dan skrin hiburan memperkenalkan sokongan untuk Spotify dan Apple Music.

Peningkatan teknologi termasuk kluster instrumen digital yang mampu menampilkan persekitaran sekitar, termasuk amaran pertukaran lorong, pengguna jalan lain, amaran jarak, dan maklumat lampu isyarat.

Lineup enjin Q7 kekal tidak berubah, dengan pilihan dari enjin turbo-diesel V6 3.0 liter 227hp hingga enjin petrol V8 twin-turbo 4.0 liter yang berkuasa 500hp dalam SQ7. Semua model dilengkapi dengan transmisi automatik lapan kelajuan dan pemanduan empat roda, memastikan pengalaman pemanduan dinamik.

Pilihan untuk SQ7 termasuk differential belakang sport, roda yang lebih besar, dan penjepit brek merah, memberikan peminat pilihan tambahan untuk menyesuaikan kenderaan mereka.

Butiran harga untuk Q7 yang telah diubahsuai ini akan diumumkan lebih dekat dengan pelancaran pada separuh kedua tahun ini.

Audi Q7 Second Facelift Unveiled Ahead of Electrification Era

Audi has unveiled the second major facelift for its popular seven-seat SUV, the Q7, as the current model approaches a decade on the market. This update, set to hit showrooms in the second half of the year, comes as Audi prepares to roll out its final new petrol-powered vehicles.

Originally introduced in 2015 and last refreshed in 2020, the latest facelift promises not only revised styling but also incorporates cutting-edge technology, marking a significant leap forward for the venerable model.

While industry norms suggest a new generation after eight years, Audi’s commitment to launching its last all-new petrol or diesel-engined vehicle in 2025 raises questions about the Q7’s future. The facelift, it seems, is designed to keep the Q7 competitive until the company transitions to electric vehicles, anticipated to begin in 2026, with an ultimate goal of ceasing petrol and diesel sales in all markets, except China, by 2033.

Visually, the facelift brings a fresh look to the Q7, featuring reshaped LED headlights with HD matrix LED technology, boasting 24 LEDs and laser-light tech promising enhanced high-beam illumination. Optional OLED tail lights with customisable light signatures add a touch of sophistication, adjusting brightness when another vehicle approaches.

Exterior enhancements include a restyled front bumper, a revised grille, and distinct air intakes, especially notable in the sporty SQ7 variant. Additionally, visible exhaust tips, new wheel designs ranging from 20 to 22 inches, and three vibrant colours—Sakhir Gold, Ascari Blue, and Chili Red—complete the exterior makeover.

Inside the cabin, the Q7 maintains its three-screen layout for infotainment, instruments, and air-conditioning controls. However, three new dashboard inlay options—Natural Elm Burl Silver, Matte Carbon Twill, and Matte Brushed Aluminium—offer buyers more personalisation choices. European models now feature standard grey seat stitching, and the infotainment screen introduces support for Spotify and Apple Music.

Technological updates include a digital instrument cluster capable of displaying the surroundings, including lane-change warnings, other road users, distance alerts, and traffic light information.

The Q7’s engine lineup remains unchanged, with options ranging from a 227hp, 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 to the potent 500hp, 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 in the SQ7. All models come equipped with eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive, ensuring a dynamic driving experience.

Options for the SQ7 include a sport rear differential, larger wheels, and red brake calipers, providing enthusiasts with additional customisation choices.

Pricing details for the revamped Q7 are set to be disclosed closer to its launch in the second half of this year.
