Aiming to convey elegance, dynamism, and robustness, Audi designed its new Q7 to have what it calls the sportiest proportions in the luxo-ute class. Above the beltline, designers wanted the Q7 to be smooth and flowing. Below the beltline, the styling goal was to impart a more rugged and expressive appearance. Up front, Audi’s characteristic single-frame grille leaves no question as to which company makes this SUV, while at the rear the tapered roofline terminates in a lightweight aluminum hatch that is deftly integrated into the design with virtually no shut lines visible when viewed from the rear. Audi offers 10 paint colors from which to choose, six of which are shades of black, white, or gray.
