The production version will be based on the Pikes Peak quattro concept study that Audi had unveiled at the 2003 Detroit Motor Show. In common with the latter, the five-door, seven-seater Q7 will combine the qualities of a fully-fledged off-road vehicle with the typical dynamism of an Audi high-performance sports saloon. The Audi SUV will moreover offer an amount of space that sets new standards in its class. The Q7 will make its market debut at the start of 2006.
"The letter Q denotes a new type family within our company, alongside A, S and RS. The 7 indicates that it is positioned between the A6 and A8," explained Thierry Seys, managing director, Audi Middle East.
"The Q7 will represent an entirely new concept in the SUV category, combining luxury with power, making it particularly compelling for Middle East consumers," added Seys.
