The updated 2022 Audi Q7 has been finally launched in India today – Prices starts from Rs 79.99 lakh, ex-sh
Ever since the updated BS6 emission norms kicked in April 2022, Q7 has been off Audi’s shelves in India. The updated Q7 with BS6 compliant engine has been brought back to Indian shores, with a comprehensive facelift. The SUV had already entered production at the Audi India plant in Aurangabad.
As a result of these emission updates, Q7 will be a petrol-only model like all other cars under the Skoda-Volkswagen Group in India. Bookings for the facelifted Q7 are currently underway at a token amount of Rs 3.0 lakh in select dealerships.
