Trim Levels
While Audi applies the same trim-level names to the three available engines, what’s included in each depends on the engine. Available only on the four-cylinder Q7 45, the Premium trim features keyless entry and starting, 19-inch wheels, LED exterior lighting, a panoramic moonroof and a power liftgate. Inside are leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, three-zone automatic climate control, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Q7 45 Premium Plus rides on 20-inch wheels and features upgraded interior trim and ambient lighting, as well as a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. For the more powerful Q7 55, the Premium Plus trim level also adds an air suspension with adaptive dampers, ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, four-zone automatic climate control and rear-window sunshades. The SQ7 Premium Plus also includes a sport-tuned suspension with rear-wheel steering, 21-inch wheels and stainless-steel pedals, but it does not get the ventilated front seats or heated rear seats.
At the Prestige trim level, the Q7 55 gets rear-wheel steering, organic light-emitting diode taillights, soft-close doors that power themselves closed to prevent slamming, massaging front seats and a head-up display. The SQ7 Prestige includes all of that plus the ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and Audi’s Matrix-design LED headlights.
Standard and Available Safety Features
The 2026 Q7’s standard safety technologies include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering. A 360-degree camera system is optional on the Premium and standard on the Premium Plus. Automated parking, front cross-traffic alert and night vision are available.

Powertrain Specs and MPG
The Q7 is available with four, six or eight cylinders, all three engine options paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard Quattro all-wheel drive. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine powers the Q7 45 and makes 261 horsepower and 273 pounds-feet of torque, while the Q7 55 packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 with 335 hp and 369 pounds-feet. The SQ7’s twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 boasts 500 hp and 568 pounds-feet of torque.
The Q7 45 returns an EPA-estimated 20/26/22 mpg city/highway/combined, while the Q7 55 is rated at 18/23/20 mpg. The downside to the SQ7’s high output is fuel economy of just 14/20/16 mpg. However, Audi says it will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat, versus a claimed 5.5 for the Q7 55 and 6.7 seconds for the four-cylinder Q7 45. The Q7 45 can tow 4,400 pounds, while the Q7 55 and SQ7 are rated to tug up to 7,700 pounds.
