Obviously, this means that these images provide us with no clues about the new model’s exterior styling, but we do get a peek at the cabin. This is still far from production-ready, but it does show that Audi wants at least two screens in the cabin.
Under the skin, we’re expecting both mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants to be offered, and there are rumblings that the long-rumored Q9 will finally arrive soon after the new Q7, using the same underpinnings but offering three rows of seating with even more room than the cramped third-row accommodation of the Q7. Neither of these is likely to go all-electric for some time, as even-numbered models will serve that purpose.
In the meantime, the refreshed Q7 we get next year will offer all-new Matrix LED headlights with customizable lighting signatures. These just debuted on the Q8 and its SQ8 sibling, the latter of which we just drove.
