    So I was chatting to Nemo earlier about this, but my word.. Audi.. what are they playing at

    Basically, if you want half the options, you need to order the £80K-ish Vorsprung model. (I'm looking at the UK options only here - may differ in other regions).

    Things I've noted:


    • You cant get the Audi Laser headlights on any lower model than the Vorsprung
    • You can’t get Soft Door close on any lower model than the Vorsprung
    • You can’t get passenger memory seats on any lower model than the Vorsprung
    • You can't get All Wheel Steering unless you order the Vorsprung
    • Night Vision not even an option at all. Its like they have scrapped it.
    • Bose Stereo only as Standard on the Vorsprung. Can't order it for any lower model (but you can have B&O if you add the "Comfort and Sound Package" at £1850)
    • You can't get an Electric Steering Column on its own unless you order the Vorsprung
    • If you want door sunblinds and rear boot sunblind you need to order the full Extended Leather Pack at just shy of £4K!
    • No heated steering wheel option at all on any model.
    • No "Heated Windscreen" on any model from what I can tell (maybe they have something clever)
    • No Inlay choices.
    • No TV Tuner
    • No DVD Changer (expected)



    I'm not annoyed, just more perplexed...

    Thoughts?

    Andy

    Looks like the Vorsprung trim now ticks all the available boxes but you miss out a number of cool options previously available - NV, TV, heated steering and windscreen.. More reasons to keep our current car?

    Also it doesn't look like the B&O offered with the Comfort and Sound pack is the same as the previous optional monster 1900w 23-speaker B&O system... it says it is a 17-speaker 700w system (two less speakers than the BOSE??)..

    On the other hand - now you get a few more toys as standard even with the most basic trim level - Matrix Headlight (none-laser), air suspension, reverse camera, lane departure warning are all now standard with the lowest trim level. That's gonna make a lot of people happier.. Also now if you order Vorsprung trim, it will be more exclusive - better headlight, wheel, interior etc... Previously you can just order the s-line trim and spec it up to the same equipment level as the Vorsprung or higher..

    The facelift isn't yet available over here in the USA, but it will be interesting to compare spec levels once Audi introduce it here. I'll keep an eye on the AudiUSA site and report back once it's available, if you're interested

    ya, will be interesting to compare specs - I understand that in the US you have different namings - Premium, Prestige etc.. we have SE, S-Line, Black Edition and Vorsprung in the UK.

    Online configurator already live:
    Trim > Audi Q7 > Q7 > Audi configurator UK

    RS6 will be available this year in the US, should be exciting

    Yep - Premium is the base spec, Premium Plus is the middle spec, and Prestige is the top spec over here. You can get add-on packages (or at least you can on a Q5) such as the Warm Weather Pack, Cold Weather Pack and the Black Optic Pack too. When I was a young lad, my Mum had a Prestige pressure cooker, and seeing the Prestige spec advertised always makes me think of that

    Cheers!

    But I've found if you go to Audi Germany (audi.de) stick on translate in your web browser and spec a new face-lift Q7 on their site you can choose everything the UK site cant.

    Nv
    Bose
    Tv
    Dvd
    All wheel steer
    Heated steering wheel
    Even audi connect to unlock your car with nfc from your phone.

    Do we get that in the UK? Nope..

    There must be something going on here...

    You nailed it Andy....

    We will soon have a Brexit Edition available

    In all seriousness though I think Audi UK have messed up big time here whether it’s due to WLTP or whatever.

    I’ve now started to look at other brands for the second car when we had specd up a very nice A6 Avant - went to order and couldn’t as the order books had closed...they reopened and like the Q7 some of the stuff we wanted had moved only in to Vorsprung model and that is silly silly money.

    So potentially Audi’s loss unless something happens in the next couple of months and I’ll renew my warranty on Q7 and just stick with it as I’ve no idea what I’d change that for

    I am a big Audi fan, had already 4 of them and just ordered new SQ8. But IMHO Audi has a serious problem - their H1 2019 sales is -6% vs H1 2018 and my dealer told me that for them the whole 2019 is already lost. This is the result not only of the "Dieselgate" but also the problem with new engines (throttle lag in TDI and TFSI), strange configurations on some markets (the same problem is in US), very high prices of options (compared to BMW) and long delivery time. I was also cross shopping with BMW X5 M50D which is really a great car (no throttle lag and technologically even more advanced) but finally I decided to stay with Audi when SQ8 was presented. I believe that new 4.0TDI engine with 2 turbos and electric compressor will have the same response as in older SQ7. Couple days ago I had Q8 for a weekend with 3.0TDI and believe me, I would never order this car with such a throttle lag. It is simply dangerous and if Audi not improve it, sooner or later someone will sue them. Hopefully not due to the car accident.
