Audi Q7 S Line Sport and Style Editions revealed

Audi has revealed a pair of special edition Q7s – the Q7 S Line Style Edition and S Line Sport Edition – with a bigger spec and bigger price tag.

The Audi Q7 is rapidly becoming invisible in the premium SUV market as it’s overshadowed by newer offerings from BMW and Mercedes, and from Land Rover too.

But we’re expecting an all new Audi Q7 to arrive later in 2014 which, Audi hope, will offer enough to make the Q7 relevant to buyers of big, luxury SUVs once again.

But in the meantime, Audi still wants to be shifting Q7s from their showrooms so we get a pair of special edition Q7s – the Q7 S Line Sport Edition and S Line Style Edition – to hopefully add a bit of fizz to Q7 sales.

The Audi Q7 S Line Style Edition is based on the S Line Plus trim for the Q7 and gets a new set of 21″ alloys and a more aggressive bodykit including bigger wheel arches and a butch front bumper and a choice of Night black, Teak brown, Lava grey, Orca black, Graphite grey, Daytona grey or Scuba blue paint jobs.

The S Line Style Edition is available with either the 3.0 litre 242bhp V6 diesel or the 335bhp 4.2 litre V8 diesel and costs £52,976 and £62,600 respectively, a £1500 premium over the regular S Line Plus Q7.

The Q7 S Line Sport Edition has been inspired by the now defunct Q7 V12 diesel and gets a titanium finish for the 21″ alloys, a sporty styling package with wheel arch extensions, bigger front air intakes with high gloss slates, lower bumper spoilers, stainless steel skid plates and dual oval tail pipes integrated in to the back bumper.

Just like the S Line Style Edition, the Q7 S Line Sport Edition is available with either the 3.0 litre V6 diesel for £54,475 or the 4.2 litre V8 diesel for £64,100, a £3000 premium over the regular S Line Plus models.

Both the Audi S Line Style Edition and Sport edition are now on sale, and you can probably look at these titivated Q7s as the run-out models.
