After almost five years on the market, the second-generation Audi Q7 – the Ingolstadt marque’s largest SUV – has been given a refresh.

    The most obvious change is the revised single-frame grille.

    It visually brings the Q7 much closer to the Q8 by flipping the Q7’s seven horizontal chrome slats vertically.

    Matrix LED headlights are also now standard across the range, while all Q7 models also receive revised front and rear bumpers.

    More dramatic changes can be found in the Q7’s cabin, where there are now two screens on the dash in addition to the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit instrument cluster display.
