2023 Audi Q7, SQ7 Carry Over With New Base Engine, Light Updates
The Audi Q7 and SQ7 might be forced to share the spotlight with the bigger Q8 in the German marque’s SUV lineup, but they’re still at the top end of the roster as the updates roll in for 2023. Audi is using the latest model year to introduce a new engine and make light changes to both models while also raising the base price to $60,395 (including destination).

Outside, the Q7 45 Premium Plus receives new LED headlights, while the Q7 55 now gets the LEDs standard. But performance hardware is where the most noticeable changes will be found: The Q7 45 receives a new version of the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now makes 261 horsepower (a gain of 13 hp over 2022). The Q7 55 keeps the 335-hp, turbo 3.0-liter V-6 and the SQ7 continues with its 500-hp, turbo 4.0-liter V-8. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard throughout the lineup.
The interiors for both the Q7 and SQ7 benefit from a new package that adds stitched leatherette to the dashboard, and the Premium Plus trims get leatherette with stitching on the armrests and center console. Otherwise, the bulk of the cabin remains. For both SUVs, Prestige variants also now have remote parking assist, and Premium variants get adaptive cruise control with lane-centering steering. For the SQ7, 22-inch wheels are available and its Executive Package sees the addition of dual-pane glass.
