Although Audi entered the Chinese market earlier than that, its SUV models came a little late compared with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. It wasn't until 2006 that Audi introduced its first SUV to the Chinese market.
2006 Q7
At the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi unveiled its first SUV model, the Q7. The original Q7 is full of strength, but the body lines are simple and capable, so that it does not appear bloated, but it is stable and at the same time a little calm and elegant.
Q7 full of technology and luxury of the shape is a rare large SUV at that time, and because of the same platform as Cayenne and Touareg, showing good off-road performance and strong power, people immediately recognized the positioning of the Q7 flagship.
In 2006, the Audi Q7 was introduced for domestic sales, and the price range at that time was between 80.00-1.4980 million yuan.
With a design that is different from traditional SUVs, the Q7 was sought after by the rich as soon as it was listed, and even stole the limelight from competitors such as BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE Class, Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition and so on.
The original Q7 has been sold for ten years, until 2015, audi Q7 was replaced, but did not expect that this replacement directly "overturned".
After the replacement of the Q7 not only has a great deal of controversy about the appearance, it is not as domineering as the previous generation, but also has a sharp decline in word-of-mouth and sales, and the Audi Q7 has also been jokingly called "the most failed luxury SUV for the replacement".
2016 Q7
The new generation of Q7 is built on the MLB Evo platform and has evolved from the inside out.
The family-style hexagonal grille is paired with a new headlight set to create a simple and aggressive front, the body lines make the new Q7 look more refined, the rear is very powerful, and the overall style is more stylish.
2022 Section Q7
In terms of interior, a two-color combination of black and gray is adopted, and the middle part is embellished with silver trim panels, which looks very high-grade. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, 10.1-inch central control screen and 8.6-inch LCD air-conditioning touch screen bring a certain scientific and technological atmosphere.
In terms of configuration, the new car offers a multi-function steering wheel, seat ventilation, automatic air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise, parking assistance, lane departure warning and other configurations, as well as a number of optional packages to choose from.
In terms of power, the new car offers two powertrains, a 2.0T FSI engine and a 3.0T V6 engine + 48V motor, the former with a maximum power of 245 hp and a peak torque of 370 Nm, while the latter has a maximum power of 340 hp and a peak torque of 500 Nm.
In terms of drivetrain, the new cars are equipped with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission and a quattro four-wheel drive system.
Although the comprehensive strength of Q7 is still strong, it is difficult to return to the peak. The reason is that the new Q7 has lost the powerful aura of the original flagship model, and some netizens have bluntly said: the low-end Q7 is no different from a high-end Q5.
In October this year, the Audi Q7 sold only 1163 units, which is not a small gap compared with the old rivals BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE.
Nowadays, the guidance price of audi Q7 has dropped to 68.88-86.98 million, and it has also given a lot of preferential treatment, and the lowest national quotation of 2022 model has reached 611,400, but perhaps the original model is too classic, and there are still very few people who pay for the new Q7.
