Audi Q7 Signature Edition launches in India with exclusive features, and new colours
In a segment brimming with full-sized luxury SUVs, the Audi Q7 has long stood out for its blend of power, practicality, and polish. Now, Audi India adds a fresh layer of exclusivity with the launch of the Audi Q7 Signature Edition, a limited-run variant that brings a collection of refined touches to an already accomplished vehicle.
This special edition builds upon the Q7 Technology variant, integrating Audi Genuine Accessories that enhance both the exterior presence and the interior experience. Available in limited numbers, the Signature Edition is tailored for buyers who see their SUV not just as a machine, but as a statement of lifestyle and taste.
On the outside, the Signature Edition is offered in five distinctive colour options — Sakhir Gold, Waitomo Blue, Mythos Black, Glacier White, and Samurai Grey — each lending the Q7 a commanding road presence. Subtle design cues further elevate the look, starting with Audi rings LED entry lamps, which project a welcome light graphic as you approach the vehicle. It is a small but sophisticated detail that enhances the sense of occasion every time you get behind the wheel.
Adding a dash of flair are the new dynamic wheel hubcaps, which cleverly keep the Audi logo upright while in motion — a small design flourish that leaves a lasting impression. The R20 alloy wheels, now featuring a special paint finish, complement the SUV's strong stance, while stainless steel pedal caps and a metallic key cover offer tactile upgrades that reinforce the Signature Edition's premium intent.
Inside, the Q7 Signature Edition continues to deliver an experience that is both luxurious and practical. The cabin remains spacious, with a 7-seater layout that includes electrically foldable third-row seats to balance passenger accommodation with boot space. But the highlight of this special edition lies in its unique amenities. Chief among them is the Espresso Mobile system — an integrated coffee machine that lets you brew fresh espresso on the go. It is a thoughtful, lifestyle-focused inclusion aimed squarely at the premium buyer.
Also new is the Audi Dashcam with universal traffic recorder, providing video surveillance both while driving and when parked—an increasingly valued feature in urban driving environments.
Mechanically, the Signature Edition retains the potent underpinnings of the standard Q7 Technology variant. A 3.0L V6 TFSI petrol engine, coupled with 48V mild-hybrid technology, produces 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque. Paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive, the Q7 delivers a refined yet responsive driving experience. The SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h — figures that are impressive for a vehicle of its size.
Adaptive air suspension and Audi Drive Select with seven drive modes, including off-road, ensure the Q7 adapts effortlessly to varying terrains. In terms of comfort and tech, the cabin is loaded with four-zone climate control with an air ionizer, Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, MMI Navigation Plus with touchscreen response, and a Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D sound system with 19 speakers and 730 watts of output. Additional features such as Park Assist Plus with a 360-degree camera, comfort key with hands-free boot access, and a lane departure warning system reinforce the Q7's luxury and safety credentials.
The Audi Q7 Signature Edition is not a drastic departure from the Q7 we already know — it is a fine-tuned, elevated interpretation of it. With its enhanced styling, unique accessories, and lifestyle-oriented features, it speaks directly to those who want more than just a premium SUV — they want one that feels uniquely theirs.
The Audi Q7 signature edition is priced at ₹99.81 lakh (ex-showroom).
