News_Stig Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 A cleaner diesel, slightly (very) better MPg from the 3.0 TDi and some neat LED running lights are the main exterior details. Brake regeneration system will also be fitted to ALL models. Form an orderly Q – Audi’s biggest SUV has been given a host of updates! As well as a facelift, the latest Q7 gets a more efficient diesel engine. The changes up front include a redesigned radiator grille with vertical chrome bars and a contrasting black finish, plus a heavily ribbed bumper guard. Options include adaptive xenon lights with LED running lamps. At the rear, there’s a lighter aluminium tailgate, standard LED lamps plus a two-tone finish for the bumper. And four new colours have been made available, including Teak Brown. Inside, the seven-seater gets a redesigned instrument cluster with metallic edging for the dials and extra chrome. The 240bhp 3.0 TDI is also available as a new ‘clean diesel’ with a complex exhaust gas recirculation system. At 31.7mpg as opposed to 31mpg, it is a little more economical, but nitrogen oxide emissions are drastically reduced. All engines get a brake energy recovery system, too. Sales start later this year.
