Rear profile features sleeker LED taillamps compared to the current one along with quad exhaust. On the design front, Audi’s new flagship SUV looks more streamlined compared to the outgoing car and indeed the vehicle has reportedly shed 363 kg!  

Speaking of the engine lineup, the second generation Q7 is likely to get updated version of the current six and eight-cylinder motors. In Indian context, as of now, Q7 is offered with a sole six-cylinder 35 TDI Quattro mill that chucks out 245 hp and 550 Nm of max torque and is mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission.
