Exactly a week ago, the 2010 Audi Q7 crossover made its global debut at the Shanghai Motor Show. We weren’t there live to cover it like our good friend Ashley from chinacartimes did.

The 2010 Audi Q7’s features have been discussed thoroughly in a previous story, but here’s the crux of it-

The 2010 Audi Q7’s changes on the outside are minimal-

redesigned grille and bumpers, LED indicators and daytime running lights, four new paint colors and new 18-inch alloys.

Under the hood, buyers will be offered three different options-

Gasoline side, there’s a 3.6-liter V6 with 280hp with 14mpg city and 20 mpg highway, and a 4.2-liter V8 giving 350hp manages 13 city/18 highway range.

The best of the lot is the new TDI clean diesel motor: the 3.0-liter V6 generates 225hp, and it beats both gas engines in fuel economy, getting 17mpg city/25mpg on the highway.
