All-new 2027 Audi Q7 Leaked.

These are early photos of the all-new Audi Q7. It has been redesigned once again to look very much like every other Audi SUV on the road today, both inside and out. Continuing the brand’s simpleminded push toward a “unified” global design language. Which is a code word for “everything has to look the same”.

The more muscular design actually works well here in these photos. It makes the current Audi Q7 look instantly dated by comparison, which is probably the point of this redesign. Overall, the new model looks more attractive and more modern, with sharper surfacing and a more aggressive stance. The only questionable detail is that enormous ghastly grille. Which now almost resembles a cartoonish truck front end.

Inside, it is also completely new, but it’s hard to tell this is a Q7 specifically. It could just as easily be a Q5 or even the new Q3. Audi’s interiors are now so uniform that everything blends together, regardless of segment or price. And despite repeated comments from company suits suggesting that physical buttons and switches are returning, they still haven’t. At least not in the new Q7.

So far, the official statement reads: “The new Audi Q7 impresses with its sporty, powerful design, a highly versatile interior, first-class materials, user-centric technologies, and a wide spectrum of driving characteristics, from comfortable to dynamic.” It’s the kind of generic marketing language that could describe almost any new vehicle.

Sales haven’t been particularly strong in the U.S., with just over 13,500 units sold in 2024. Or roughly half of what it was in 2021, and far below its peak of over 38,000 units in 2017. That’s often what happens when a model ages without a full generational reset. The current Q7 dates back to 2015, and it’s clearly starting to show its age in a highly competitive market filled with newer rivals.

The current Q7 is also not cheap either, starting at over $62,000. At that price, you still get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as standard. It’s about $10,000 more than the excellent Acura MDX, which includes a smooth and powerful V6 as standard and offers strong value in comparison.

It’s not yet clear when the new Q7 will officially debut, but it should be arriving very, very soon.
