Get The Audi SQ7 -> Technology Guide for Audi S Q7 SUV Second Generation (2021-2026)

Comfortable. Spacious.

Luxurious.

The Audi Q7 is a very comfortable place to be. A new wraparound interior envelops

the driver in luxury. Increased headroom from its predecessor makes the whole

cabin more spacious. And, on S and S line models, 4-zone climate control and

privacy glass provide additional comfort for rear passengers. For families, six of the

seven seats can be fitted with child seats, while the rear two seats can be folded

electrically, at the touch of a button.*

Sumptuous styling details complete the Audi Q7’s interior, with two-piece inlays,

aluminium accents and subtle ambient lighting.

*Q7 e-tron models are only available with five seats.

Visible innovation.

The information you need is always changing,

so the Audi Virtual Cockpit changes too.

Available as an option on Audi Q7 models

and standard on Q7 e-tron and SQ7 models,

it replaces the traditional dashboard with a

high-resolution, 12.3” LCD screen, which you

can customise to display just the information

you want.

or any calls received. With the touch of a

button, you can shrink the dials to show other

functions, and even expand your navigation

map to fill the display.

Our virtual dashboard puts everything

you need to know right in front of you.

With crisp 3D graphics and highly detailed

effects, it’s the embodiment of Audi

technological innovation.

So during ordinary driving, you’ll see

virtual dials for speed and revs, along with

information like the music you’re playing

24

Switch views at the touch of a button

The display can be switched between ‘classic’ view, with

prominent speedometer and rev counter or ‘infotainment’ view,

which brings functions such as the navigation map or media to

the fore. Drivers can change their view simply by pressing the

‘view’ button on the multi-function steering wheel.

Advanced technology designed to help you on the road.

We’ve developed a whole range of innovations for your Audi Q7 to enhance every aspect of your car. Here are some of the standard and optional technologies available.

MMI Navigation with MMI Touch

With its 3D map display and high-resolution graphics,

MMI Navigation makes it easy to get where you’re going.

Controlling the system is just as simple, thanks to MMI

Touch technology. You just have to ‘write’ commands

with your finger – or speak your destination using the

voice control system – and your route is displayed on

the central 8.3” retractable screen or additionally in the

7” colour Driver’s Information System. MMI Navigation

with MMI Touch is standard on all Audi Q7 models.

Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced

Sound System

The optional Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced

Sound System surrounds you with crystal-clear,

ultra-realistic sound. All 23 speakers are

arranged especially for the interior of the Q7.

Combined with acoustic lens technology, the music

you hear in the Q7 is reproduced exactly as intended.

Head-up display

Ambient Lighting Pack

The optional head-up display projects important

information directly into your field of vision, so you don’t

need to look away from the road. It shows details like

the current speed limit, information from the assistance

systems and instructions from the navigation system.

All using a high-resolution 480 x 240 pixel display.

For better visibility when you’re getting in and out,

the optional ambient lighting system complements

the Q7’s standard interior lighting, illuminating the

door sill plates, as well as the contours of the centre

console. Available with different colour profiles,

you can change the mood in the cabin with a touch

of the MMI button. Available as an individual option

or part of the Style Pack.

33

Smartphone

34

Interface

Bring your phone to the fore.

Imagine being able to use your smartphone applications safely while driving. The Audi Smartphone Interface, standard on the Audi Q7, lets you do just that.† Text message dictating. Music streaming. Your contact list.

Now you can access apps, approved for in-car use by Android and Apple, from the MMI controls on the Q7’s centre console, from the multi-function steering wheel, Audi Voice Control, or even via your smartphone’s assistant,

like Siri. Simply connect your compatible smartphone via USB* and approved apps appear in full colour on the central MMI screen.

Keeping in touch

You can play music stored on your phone as you drive, controlling it simply and intuitively through

With Audi Smartphone Interface, any text messages you receive while driving can be read out to you –

and if you need to respond, you can do so simply by dictating your message. But not only that. You can

Permanent availability cannot be guaranteed as this is the responsibility of Apple and Google. Use of certain apps with Smartphone Interface will be subject to signal availability of the mobile network in your location and in-car

usage may increase your mobile data usage. If using regularly, a mobile phone contract including an unlimited or high amount of data is recommended.

Innovative features for enhanced safety,

Exit warning assist

Audi Pre-sense city

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go

Looks out for traffic when you or your passengers open the door

of the Q7, monitoring the area around the car for metal objects

that could pose a danger, like bikes and cars. If any are detected,

it activates an LED warning light on the wing mirrors and the

inside of the front and rear doors. Exit warning assist

A camera monitors the road ahead for cars suddenly stopping

or pedestrians who are about to cross. If an imminent collision is

detected, the system warns the driver and may initiate a deceleration

action to reduce the speed or, if possible, prevent the collision.

Comes as standard on the Audi Q7 range. Please see page 40 for

more details.

and Traffic jam assist

Keeps a steady distance from the car ahead and maintains any

speed you choose by automatically accelerating and braking.

If Traffic jam assist is also activated, the system uses the sensors

and camera to detect any traffic jams ahead. When one is

detected, the system won’t just continue to brake and accelerate

in traffic, it can apply supportive steering to make your journey

more comfortable. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go

and Traffic jam assist is available as part of the optional

Dynamic Pack or Tour Pack.

is available as part of the optional Parking Packs or Audi Side

Assist including Pre-sense Rear and exit warning.

efficiency and control

Trailer assist

Predictive efficiency assist

All-wheel steering

Helps to manoeuvre and stabilise both the car and trailer

while driving. And, when reversing, it automatically steers the

trailer in the direction you choose using the MMI Touch dial.

All you need to do is watch the road and operate the gears,

accelerator and brake – and if at any point the trailer risks

colliding with the car, the system warns you. Trailer assist is

available as part of the optional Trailer Pack.

Uses data from the navigation system to predict your route

and suggest ways to drive more efficiently. It alerts you to

speed limits, hidden bends and hills, so you can slow down

in plenty of time. Predictive efficiency assist also works with

Adaptive Cruise Control to adjust the car’s cornering if a bend or

roundabout is detected and can help to reduce fuel consumption.

Predictive efficiency assist is available as part of the optional

Dynamic Pack on Q7 models and standard on Q7 e-tron models.

You use four wheels to drive your car, so why not use all four

to steer it too? For more manoeuvrability at low speeds, the

optional All-wheel steering system steers the rear wheels in

the opposite direction to the front wheels. At high speeds,

both axles steer in the same direction for better cornering and

enhanced stability. So you get more responsive steering and

a more dynamic drive.

Vehicle driver assistance and safety systems are not a substitute for attentive driving. Drivers retain full responsibility for providing the necessary inputs for safe control of the vehicle. System descriptions within this brochure are

provided for information purposes only. System limitations and operational requirements apply. See manual for details.
