It is worth mentioning that the new Audi Q7 hardly uses physical buttons and knobs.

According to China Automobile Association data, BBA still dominates the top three of the Q1 luxury brand list in 2020, with Audi sales down 22.5% year-on-year, better than Mercedes-Benz and BMW. In the luxury C-Class SUV market, Audi Q7’s main competitors are BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. In contrast, Audi’s new Q7 is even better in terms of length and wheelbase.

According to official FAW-Volkswagen data, Audi brand sales in March 2020 were 40,000 units (including imports), a year-on-year decrease of 26.7%. However, FAW-Volkswagen has made a judgment on the Chinese passenger car market that “it has bottomed out and is about to rebound”, and has set a sales target for the Audi brand of 700,000 vehicles for the year. The new Audi Q7, as one of the heavyweight models of the year, will also carry this important task.
