Z around autumn 2019, Audi is bringing the facelift of the large family SUV Q7.

Now the lower but wider LED taillights have been trimmed to techno-style with a new graphic, a decorative strip that extends over almost the entire width of the tailgate creates a connection between the lights. This is also noticeable to those who are not familiar with the model.

The Q7 comes with LED headlights as standard, the matrix LED light and the HD matrix LED headlights with laser light are available for an extra charge. The optional electronic roll stabilization EAWS with active control of the stabilizers is also new on board the Q7, and the all-wheel steering, which is subject to a surcharge, has also been revised.
