Here is a more thorough look at the Audi Q7 facelift: 

Audi Q7 Design 

The Q7 facelift brings in rather tasteful design updates with small but impactful tweaks all around. For starters, it now gets hexagonal styling bits on the grille, however, the shape of the grille is the same as before, still adorned by the chrome inserts around the border. The lower central air intake and side air curtains also get a new design and the bumper has received minor tweaks as well. The headlights have a sleeker design than before, with the LED DRLs positioned above the LED headlamps. 

The alloy wheel design has been reworked as well, and you now get the option to choose from 20 to 22-inch size for the same.

As expected from a facelift, the silhouette remains the same, but at the rear, the LED tail lamps have been made sleeker and consist of new lighting elements. A shark fin antenna and a roof-mounted spoiler are available and give a hint of sportiness to the elegant looking SUV, especially along with the dual exhaust pipes. 

The facelifted version is offered in 5 hues: Sakhir Gold, Mythos Black, Samurai Grey, and Glacier White.

Audi Q7 Interior And Features

Inside, there is hardly any difference in terms of the dashboard design and its layout. You get plenty of gloss black panels– a trademark of new-age Audis – which gives it a plush and premium feel. The dual-screen setup is also something we are familiar with. 

The infotainment has been updated and it now offers compatibility with third-party apps. The driver display has received minor upgrades as it now shows more warnings from the updated driver assistance system.
