What's the news?

Audi has announced two new versions of the Q7, the S line Style Edition and S line Sport Edition. Both variants are based on the S line Plus specification and come with styling enhancements. Prices start at £52,975.

Exterior

Style Edition Q7s come with 21-inch, five-arm rotor design alloy wheels with a matt titanium finish. A styling kit includes stainless steel underbody protectors and body colour wheel arch extensions that blend into modified lower bumpers. Metallic and pearlescent paint are available at no extra cost and there are seven colours to choose from: Night black, Teak brown, Lava grey, Orca black, Graphite grey, Daytona grey or Scuba blue.

The Sport Edition also comes with the rotor design alloys, underbody protection and body colour extended wheel arches. Audi has created a cosmetic package inspired by the Q7 V12 TDI from 2010 for the Sport. The front bumper incorporates larger air intakes with gloss black slats plus lower bumper spoilers. Dual oval exhaust pipes are integrated with the rear bumper. Customers can chose from all 13 paint colours offered on the rest of the Q7 range.

Mechanicals

Both Edition models are available with either 3.0-litre, 245hp or 4.2-litre, 340hp TDI turbodiesel power.
