Audi has unveiled the next-generation Q7 SUV and US-exclusive SQ7, featuring significant performance upgrades. The standard Q7 will be powered by a 429 hp twin-turbo V6, while the SQ7 gets a potent 591 hp V8 borrowed from the RS7, making it the fastest-accelerating Q7 variant to date. Both models feature improved driving dynamics and optional adaptive air suspension, with sales set to begin later this year as 2027 models.
