2022 Audi Q7 Facelift Looks
The updated SUV, which made its world premiere in June 2019, carries several styling tweaks that make the refreshed version look sleeker and a tad more upmarket.

At the tail-end, the SUV gets new lighting fixtures and a new chrome strip that runs along the width of the hatch door. Even the bumpers at both ends are new and so are the alloy rims. The new model is even longer by 11mm and measures 5,063mm in overall length. Inside, the SUV gets new screens, gloss black dashboard trim and brush aluminium accents to spruce up the feature-laden cabin.
