Verdict
The Audi Q7 was once the hottest-selling luxury SUV in India, with celebrities and politicians alike having it on their radar. Over the years, its popularity declined as Audi decided to trim down the Q7 and make it as lean as possible. Now, with this facelift, they are trying to return to its original style, as the photos clearly show how much bulkier it appears. That said, the Q7 is still one of the best cars to be driven and driven around in. The Quattro system is legendary, and traveling in it feels like moving forward while sitting in your living room.
