Default Q7 Badging

I have the Prestige. I haven't noticed any badge that reflects trim level on my car other than Quattro. While on vacation, I saw another Q7 but it had a Prestige badge on the back. Why are they not putting them on anymore? It's not that big of a deal but I admit that I am curious.

Any chance you have a pic? I have never seen a Prestige badge on any Q7s before. Would be cool see it.

No, I didn't think to get a picture at the time.

hmm. Was it on the back or side of the vehicle? Did it say "Prestige" for sure or could it have been a "Quattro" or "Super Charged" badge as those are easily available online and some owners have added them.

They never did. I'm guessing it was the name of the dealer or auto group that sold it.

Ahh.. great point. If the OP was on vacation in South Florida there is dealer called Prestige Audi. Also, one in Colorado I think.

I'm actually glad there's no special badging for the trim levels. Seems a bit tacky/gaudy on an otherwise classy and understated car like the Q7.

And as others have said, there was never any kind of "Prestige" badge from the factory on any Audi Q7 past or present, so what you saw was likely a dealer-added badge possibly from places like Prestige Audi in Miami, FL or Prestige Imports in IL.

It was on the back, on the right side. I think it did have CO plates.
