Debuting at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the second-generation Audi Q7 (4M) inaugurated the MLB Evo architecture. Strategic utilization of hot-stamped steel and aluminum shaved up to 325 kg off its predecessor's weight, vastly improving dynamic agility and efficiency. The body adopted sharper, more structured design lines centered around a hexagonal Singleframe grille.

The 4M introduced all-wheel steering, HD Matrix LED headlights with laser spot lamps, and dual-touchscreen MMI touch response infotainment. Powertrains feature MHEV-assisted 2.0 TFSI, 3.0 TFSI V6, and 3.0 TDI V6 engines, alongside TFSI e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants. Comprehensive updates in 2019 and 2024 have maintained the Q7's market leadership. The model fully reflected the premium status of the automaker and its commitment to technological leadership in its class.
