The battle to become the number one luxury car manufacturer globally, the three automakers Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are working very aggressively. All three have a number of new products to be launched in the near future, and are preparing to woo the customers by showing their class-leading products at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Meanwhile, the 2015 Audi Q7 has been spotted during its test rounds in southern European road. WorldCarFans has managed to click the SUV, and provided the details of the vehicle.
The spotted Q7 is fully covered, but it seems like Audi has made some developmental changes to look it more aggressive and sporty. The 2014 Audi Q7 gets a prominent grille that is walled by LED-infused headlights, a sloping roofline, a tailgate-mounted spoiler and a dual exhaust system.
It was reported earlier that the 2015 Audi Q7 will be developed on an extended version of the Volkswagen Touareg/Porsche Cayenne platform, but now the recent updates are that the vehicle will be based on the new MLB architecture that will be shared with the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley crossover and the next-generation Touareg/Cayenne. This platform will help the company to reduce its weight up to 363 kg, making it more responsive and efficient.
Nothing on the engine configuration has been confirmed, but we expect it to be powered by the 310bhp, 3.0-litre V6 TFSI and a 435bhp twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 TFSI engines. The diesel version of the 2015 Audi Q7 is expected to receive a 258bhp 3.0-litre V6 TDI and a 385bhp, 4,2-litre V8 TDI engine. Rumors has it that the vehicle could also come in a plug-in hybrid variant, which will use a 3.0-litre TDI engine with a 115bhp electric motor.
