The next-generation Audi Q7 has made it to the Indian soil and has started the testing process. This also suggests that the Q7 SUV could launch in India ahead of its 2016 schedule and be available for sale towards the end of 2015. A quick search on Zauba.com also reveals that Audi has imported 7 units of the new Q7 to India, all of which are powered by 3.0L diesel engines.
Audi revealed plans that it wants to launch as many as 10 new models in India next year, and the Q7 would be one of it.
