VIDEO: 2015 Audi Q7 detailed inside out in new feature

Here’s a walk-around video of a different kind. Prepared by Audi UK, the 2015 Audi Q7 gets illustrated from the outside in with this five-minute long video. The second-generation seven seater leviathan from Ingolstadt is now on sale in Europe with prices beginning at €60,900 (RM239,849).

As per the usual routine of most walk-around features, the video begins with a rundown of the new Q7’s evolutionary aesthetic cues, from its bold hexagonal Singleframe front grille to its (optional) Matrix LED headlights, with ‘double arrows’ LED daytime running lights housed within.

At the rear, an electronic tailgate is standard on all variants with dynamic ‘sequential’ side indicators on the taillights available on S Line models and above. While being 36 mm shorter than its predecessor, the 2015 Audi Q7 is also up to 325 kg lighter in base 3.0 TDI trim – a weight trim equivalent to offloading a grand piano, as stated in the video.

Inside, the third row seats are now electronically-operated while up front, a completely redesigned dash layout gets trimmed in aluminium wherever possible. The latest Audi MMI infotainment platform now features a retractable 8.3-inch screen with controls handled by a larger MMI Touch interface.

Elsewhere, a quad-zone climate control system is available on S Line models and above while rear passengers receive additional entertainment in the form of dual 10.1-inch (detachable) Android tablets. A Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 3D technology can be ordered as a cost option – said system is made up of 23 speakers, together with a re-engineered subwoofer and a 1,920 watt amplifier.

Under the bonnet, the aforementioned based 3.0 TDI diesel variant pushes out 272 PS and 600 Nm of torque while the 3.0 TFSI petrol unit produces 333 PS and 440 Nm of torque. Two e-tron variants will be made available, a 3.0 TDI quattro and a 2.0 TFSI quattro model – the former destined for Europe while the latter, Asia. An eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission is the sole option.

    Looks fairly big from outside.

    Q9 is being penned. Please look at the interiors of Alphard and QX80. Don’t be so slim like GL class (width less than 2000mm = lame).

    interior looks solid and great but the exterior is a disaster, not nearly as good looking as the XC90 too bad

    this is truly the beauty (interior) and the beast (exterior). i am very curious to see the sales of this car in asian region, where style rules over functions.

    Intimidating is the first word that came to mind when I looked at this car. Thinking about getting since here in the UK its only £50,340 as the starting price for the SE model. Yumm..

    • This SUV looks like a pickup truck, how can it be intimidating? Even the Ford Ranger is more intimidating.

        You said so because the Q7 (or any SUV’s) is intimidating enough to your pocket.

        • Hi loser. Q7 is like a pickup, it looks very long and bulky.
          The SUV that is really intimidating is BMW X6 follow by Porsche Cayenne.

            Hi muya booya, I thought X6 is an SAC but not SUV? No wonder u like pickup so much, because that’s all u knew about car. Big, cheap, practical, ok intimidating to pedestrian =)
