Audi, fresh from updating its Q7 seven-seat SUV and also shoving the trip-turbo 4.0-litre V8 TDI from the magnificent SQ7 into the new SQ8, has decided to update the SQ7 itself in line with all the changes. It gains no extra power - although 435hp and 900Nm are enough to punt the massive machine from 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds - but it does get refreshed looks outside (new DRL LED signatures, bigger Singleframe grille and front airdam, revised rear lamp clusters with a joining chrome strip and round tips for the quad exhausts) as well as an interior jazzed by the addition of the latest three-screen MMI Navigation Plus touch-sensitive hardware. The updated SQ7 for the 2020MY will go on sale later this year.
