Default New Q7 2026

These renders of the new Q7 have been confirmed by several sources, so we can assume they are accurate.

It does look good in the renderings! I'm not a huge fan of the hyundai/kia split headlight look, but I know that's a common design feature across many brands now. But otherwise- yes it does look very appealing!

The exterior is much better than I anticipated considering some of the other New Audi models they've introduced lately.

I hate these button gear selectors, there is nothing wrong with the current shifter. And for people who opt out of the passenger side touch screen, are they going to fill that area with the big ugly black plastic filler like they did in the A5/S5.

My service director has been driving an B10 A5 with the passenger touch screen. He said that when a passenger is playing around with the touch screen it is extremely distracting for the driver.

Oh wow, I had not seen this. Just looked at a photo and it's hideous. Very cheap looking. Surely they could have come up with something better??

Here is a pic I took of it at my dealer, in person it looks 10X worse, it's extremely cheap looking. The filler doesn't sit flush, it protrudes and looks like an afterthought. I hope this isn't the plan for the Q7, but my gut is telling me it is..

I have no idea what they were thinking, and who at Audi approved this, but both should be shown the door.

On Audi USA website, you can configure a 2026 Q7, which is a current gen. It's definitely due for a makeover as it's been around since 2017. I am sure Q7 will live, but I am hoping they keep the A7/S7 alive for the next gen.
