2025 Audi Q7 45 TFSI to join range, brings price of entry down almost $9K

A major facelift that arrived in the middle of this year wasn’t the only big move for Audi’s Q7 three-row SUV: Audi Australia has now announced the introduction of a more budget-friendly petrol-burning powertrain, which will bring the Q7’s cost of entry below the $110K mark when it lands in early 2025

Next year the Q7 will notch up its tenth year in production, putting the big Audi behind the eight-ball when compared to its fresher-faced compatriots – and segment dominators – the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. However, with the incoming Audi Q7 45 TFSI the brand will have something its fellow Germans won’t be able to match: an opening price of $108,815.

The Q7 45 TFSI will arrive as one of the most sharply-priced offerings in the large premium SUV space when it commences deliveries early next year, with a sizable $8.5K gap between it and the previous entrypoint, the diesel-powered Q7 45 TDI.

It will also be the first four-cylinder variant of the Q7 to be sold in Australia. With a 2.0-litre turbo petrol inline four up front instead of the 3.0 litre diesel and petrol V6s that are the Q7’s mainstay motors (not to mention the earth-scorching twin-turbo petrol V8 of the SQ7), the Q7 45 TFSI will generate a modest 185kW and 370Nm. Those are low numbers in a segment where torque outputs average between 500-600Nm, though it lines up closely with the 184kW/365Nm Range Rover Velar P250 Dynamic SE, which retails for $104,898.

But while it might lack muscle under the bonnet, the rest of the Q7 45 TFSI’s spec sheet is fairly well-rounded. All-wheel drive is standard, as is adaptive air suspension, matrix LED headlamps, and a seven-seat configuration with a power-folding third row. Infotainment is handled by a 10.1-inch upper touchscreen, with an 8.6-inch touchscreen below it that clusters vehicle-specific functions like ventilation controls. Ahead of the driver sits a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, while driver assist tech includes adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning.

There are no changes for the rest of the Q7 range, which arrived in facelifted form back in July 2024. Pricing for the full 2025 Audi Q7 range is as follows:
