Audi is keeping details of its upcoming Q7 under wraps. But, the India-bound 2016 Audi Q7 has been snapped undergoing testing, and the latest pictures of this forthcoming SUV have surfaced online. The spy shots hint that the second-generation Q7 will flaunt a sharper design language influenced by the Ingolstadt based carmaker's latest Audi facelifts.
The test mule’s thin vinyl cover makes several of its features including the small fog lamps, LED tail lamps, the hexagonal enlarged front grille, smaller third side window and a more subtle roof-mounted rear spoiler noticeable. Some previous spy shots that hit the web a while back gave us a sneak-peek into the SUV’s interior which includes four-spoke steering wheel, bigger touchpad, free-standing touchscreen display and analog dials which could be replaced with digital ones for the production-spec car.
The 2016 Audi Q7 will be powered by upgraded versions of Audi’s six- and eight-cylinder petrol engines. The diesel line-up could see a 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine offered in three states of tune. A plug-in hybrid variant is also expected to use the same 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine working in conjunction with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery to churn out 373 PS of power and 700 Nm of torque.
Audi is also likely to introduce a range-topping Audi SQ7 model which is expected to use the same mechanical configuration as the RS5 TDI concept - a 3.0-litre V6 TDI twin-turbocharged engine teamed up with an electric turbocharger and a lithium-ion battery pack.
The 2016 Audi Q7 will be officially introduced at the 2015 Detroit Motor Show. This new SUV will make it to the Indian shores soon after its international launch.
