The 2026 Audi Q7 and SQ7, with a starting price to be announced, will receive a refreshed design next year with the arrival of the newest generation.

2026 Audi Q7 and SQ7: Trims and Prices
Audi Q7
Audi SQ7
The new Audi Q7, with its 2025 MSRP of $79,150, showcased high levels of refinement.
Prices for the 2026 Audi Q7 and SQ7 are not yet confirmed, but we already know that the vehicles will be offered with a generous Audi warranty and Audi roadside assistance.
In 2025, the Q7 45 TFSI and Q7 55 TFSI trims were being offered, while for the 2025 SQ7, only the TFSI quattro Tiptronic trim was available.
Early details indicate that the 45 and 55 TFSI trims will be carried over for the 2026 Q7 model year and that the 2026 SQ7 will also be offered with the current, though upgraded trim.
2026 Audi Q7 and SQ7: New Features
Audi Q7
The first available images reveal a robust Audi Q7 with a prominent octagonal radiator grille featuring a wide lower air intake that spans the full width of the vehicle.
The Q7 headlamps are akin to those introduced this year on the Audi Q6 e-tron and the upcoming Audi Q9, a three-row SUV that is presently being developed by the manufacturer.
The cabin will also be redesigned, primarily from a technological perspective, allowing occupants to fully enjoy the latest available features.
When it comes to the SQ7, it will offer a sportier baseline compared to the previous generation. Early images show that the front and rear bumpers have been modernized, the air intakes are more pronounced, and there are now four exhaust tips.
Just like the Audi Q7, with its starting price yet to be announced, the Audi SQ7—whose starting cost will be confirmed closer to launch—will likely be equipped with the latest MMI infotainment system and a state-of-the-art digital instrument cluster.
Among other new features, the flush door handles and the redesigned rear where the taillights are now connected by a horizontal light strip are worth mentioning, a trend we have already observed with the German manufacturer.
Finally, OLED taillights can be customized by the driver.
2026 Audi Q7 and SQ7: Performance and Fuel Economy
Audi SQ7
The available information indicates that the Audi Q7 will continue to deliver impressive performance, thanks to two engine options:
- 45 TFSI: 2.0 L 4-cylinder turbo engine with mild hybrid technology producing 261 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.
- 55 TFSI: 3.0 L turbo V6 engine with mild hybrid technology developing 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque
With either engine, the Audi Q7 demonstrates reasonably efficient fuel consumption. The Audi service team at your Anjou dealership ensures that your vehicle's performance remains consistent and effective.
As for the 2026 Audi SQ7, it will be equipped with a powerful engine, likely a 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 with mild hybrid technology delivering 500 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque.
Thanks to these engine options, the Audi Q7 is undoubtedly among the best SUVs with a 7,000 lb. towing capacity. Moreover, for 2026, it is expected that the towing capacity of the Audi Q7 will be equal to or greater than the current 7,700 lb. (for the 55 TFSI and SQ7).
Finally, some automotive experts suggest that it wouldn't be surprising to see a hybrid or plug-in hybrid Q7. For now, this information remains to be confirmed.
