Audi is all set to drive in the 2022 Q7 facelift SUV to India today. The German carmaker will officially announce the price of the new generation Q7 SUV on February 3. This is the second of the Q series SUVs to be launched by Audi within the last five months after it reintroduced the Q5 in October last year.
The new Audi Q7 will be offered with several changes compared to the predecessor. The most significant change is under the hood, where the Q7 facelift now gets a BS 6 compatible engine to meet emission norms. At its heart, the new Q7 now gets a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged petrol engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Audi will not offer any diesel variant for Q7, just like the Q5 facelift.
The Q7 facelift SUV, which comes standard Quattro all-wheel-drive system, is capable of churning out 340 hp of maximum power and 500 Nm of peak torque. It can accelerate from zero to 100 kmph in about six seconds and has a top speed of 250 kmph.
Similar to Q5, Audi will also offer the 2022 Q7 SUV in two trims - Premium Plus and Technology. The latter is the top-spec variant loaded with more features.
