I like it. Wasn't crazy about the Macan style contrasting "rocker blades" in the original. The satin Alu grille frame didn't bother me too much in the original, but looks good color matched too.

Looks like a mini-van in the video....and I am an Audi fan...totally disappointed.....I just hope the next Q5 isn't similar in design

the q7 kind of always looked a minivan (to me) especially with the captain's chairs... i felt it competed against the r-class more than the gl.

I'm sure everyone's opinions will change once it's released and we can all see it in person, test drive it, etc. Personally, I think the technology is amazing and totally looking forward to it.

Reminds me of the current Toyota Highlander. I'll stick with my old Q7.

First Look: 2016 Audi Q7

Hi,

I think it is too early to judge and I am sure it is tooooo early even to think about buying. I am from automotive (even I know who will make the wiring for this car...) and believe me buying the car earlier than 6 months after the SOP is extremly risky.

I saw in the previous posts your comments regarding the size of the car. Few months ago I have seen in same presentation the word "Q8" but at that time I was thinking that it is there by mistake, now I am thinking, that Audi is just developing something bigger size...

Anyhow, this car can be interesting for me, but not in the near future, from technical reasons the period is a year after production runs. Audi has already started the production, so middle of 2016 could be a good time to buy, so still hell of time to make our own opinion about it.

Regards
Paul

Great! If demand is soft I'll get a decent price.

I never liked the current Q7 for two reasons: 1) somber, heavy, almost Gothic look; 2) short/low greenhouse: the windows look hard to see out of.
The new one has a much lighter, airy look with what appears to be a higher greenhouse, making it look (to me) more current. I can see a lot of sub-40 year olds finding it a more attractive purchase for these reasons, especially if they bring a 2.0 version to the US and keep the price at a reasonable increase over the Q5 for that “entry” model.
I think the bright grille surround will seem less of a “pop” with a lighter color, especially with silver paint. Why Audi selects the same garish bright blue (something OK in a TT or such) for early release photos of many of its models escapes me. To me the color just cheapens the look of the bigger non-sporty vehicles.
If you look at the current Q7 it has some amazingly bulging wheel arches too, just different. I imagined the current Q7 lowered an inch or two and it looks Avant-ish as well.
I will wait to see it in “the metal” to pass judgment but it really doesn’t look bad except for the lowered ROW look.
