Audi rolls out the big boys

POTENT: Q7 AND Q8 HAVE BLAST ON SOME GOOD ROADS

- Mark Jones

Audi SA have launched their updated flagship, Q7 and Q8, range of SUVs, and it was down to the Western Cape for a blast on some good roads and an up close in person VIP experience at the Le Franschhoek Hotel & Spa as is to be expected from a premium brand.

Talking of which, the entire world, not just South Africa, is a tough space for premium manufacturers to be playing in right now, and despite declining global sales, Audi SA, have maintained their local market share, and along with the all new Q3 and Q5 on its way in 2026, they are hoping to even gain a point or two.

Q7 & SQ7The Audi Q7 and SQ7 shows off a fresh new exterior design that sees Matrix LED headlights and HD Matrix LED headlights with laser and selectable light signatures being available as standard on the two models respectively for the first time on a Q7. Digital OLED rear lights with four selectable light designs, new exterior colours, new 21-inch or 22-inch wheels, and 7-seats also as standard complete the transition.
