Audi gave its mid-size Q7 SUV a major overhaul for 2027, with new styling, updated powertrains, and the latest technologies. When the Q7 goes on sale in the United States in the fourth quarter of this year, it will cost $3,300 more than before.
The 2027 Q7 will start at $70,900, up from $67,600 for the 2026 model. The Q7 comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine, producing 429 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Audi claims the SUV will sprint from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds, 0.7 seconds quicker than before.
If that’s not enough performance, and you have the extra cash to spare, you can opt for the hotter SQ7. The high-performance SUV comes with the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, which produces 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.
The SQ7 can hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement. It starts at $98,700—$4,900 more than before. The 2027 Q7 will begin arriving at dealers later this year.
Audi prices the Q7 to compete with the BMW X5, which subsequently competes with the Mercedes-Benz GLE, but it’s not a fair comparison. The Q7 is slightly larger, offering three rows of seats to the standard two rows available in its German competitors.
That makes the Q7 the most expensive of the bunch, but not by too wide a margin. The new 2027 BMW X5 has a $69,800 starting price—$1,100 cheaper than the Q7. That’s for the X5 40 with the 394-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six engine.
