New flagship Audi models, the Q3 and A7, will undergo significant updates in 2025, marking a strategic shift in Audi's lineup. Both vehicles will feature advanced petrol-hybrid powertrains and modernized designs.

The A7, replacing the current A6, aligns with Audi's new naming convention where even numbers designate electric vehicles. Both models will incorporate large panoramic screens and updated infotainment systems similar to those found in the A5 and Q5 models.

The A7 will be available in both saloon and estate configurations. The high-performance RS7 variant, scheduled for later release, will feature a V8 plug-in hybrid system. Standard A7 models will offer various petrol and plug-in hybrid options, with the latter capable of achieving over 70 miles of pure electric range.

The Q3, one of Audi's top sellers in 2024, will receive a complete redesign inspired by the larger Q5. The updated model will maintain its current engine lineup, featuring 1.5 and 2.0-litre petrol units enhanced with the latest mild-hybrid technology for improved efficiency. The interior will mirror the premium design elements found in recent Audi models.

These launches represent part of Audi's broader strategy to modernize its petrol-powered lineup while transitioning toward electrification. The A7 is scheduled to launch first, followed closely by the Q3.
