The Audi Q7′s exteriors were tweaked slighlty by LEDs incorporated in its lights, restyled grille and additional colors. It will be introduced in Europe this year with the option of the new clean diesel engine, but is doubted if that will be available on its Indian model slated for 2010.
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.
Do you remember the Audi Q7 that was spied with new bumpers and headlamps earlier in the month? Audi has officially announced the 2010 Audi Q7 today, and the press release in our inbox, proved a lot more than wheels and bumpers are new.
A member of Fourtitude forums, who knows his Audis, has snapped the 2010 Audi Q7 as it was making its way through the roads of Atlanta in the U.S. The changes are hard to spot. The first major change is in the lights- They have moved to LEDs which are easy on the battery and contribute to the temperament of the car. The wheels have changed as well.
